HERALD SUITES POLARIS MAKATI
Situated
at the Central Business District of Makati City, the art-deco Herald Suites Polaris Makati stands. I honestly don’t know how to describe an
art-deco architecture, more so distinguish the same from other types of
architecture. But this hotel claims it to be one and
is indeed validated by some experts in the field.
An
exquisite craftsmanship put into modern details is how I describe the
architectural façade and interiors of Herald Suites in Makati.
We
are frequents of the Poblacion District of Makati and the restaurants that
surround. Herald Suites Polaris takes as
an advantage its prime location.
Centrally situated at the Makati Business District and tagged to be a
heritage district as well, being the location where first settlement in Makati
was, the Herald Suites Polaris stands as a mansion on a quiet neighborhood.
STANDARD SINGLE
ROOM
Checking-in was swift and I was assigned to a Standard Single Room. The room comes with a card lock system,
refrigerator with mini-bar, cable TV, NDD/IDD Telephones, WIFI internet access,
coffee/tea making facilities, room service and safety deposit boxes.
The
standard room is spacious, with an assigned work space that I was able to
finish some reports for work even on a weekend.
It was raining for two days. And
we were fortunate that the hotel has provided all the basic needs without
having to go out at the neighborhood. It
was a total comfort and relaxation, despite the fact that the vicinity is
surrounded by bars and night clubs. The
silence that we need was attained.
AURORA LOBBY CAFÉ
AND THE INTERIORS
The
distinct geometric multi-colored patterns of cement tiles adorn the floorings
of the hotel and easily noticeable as soon as we entered. These are the machuca tiles, known to be the oldest tile manufacturing business
in the Philippines and usually used on colonial houses that dates back centuries
ago.
The
hotel could actually pass as a museum hotel (in my opinion). It has the resemblance of the Hotel Luna of Vigan City but in a more intricate and modern design without any wall decors.
Paintings and wall decors though are not that significant as the ambiance and
styling are more than sufficient to convey its elegance and luxury to guests.
After
being mesmerized by the interior design and the atrium of the hotel, like any
other guests, our main concern is the location of the dining area. We were lead to the Aurora Lobby Café, the
hotel’s in-house restaurant, situated at the ground floor of the hotel.
Complimentary
breakfast and our welcome dinner and cocktails were served at the café. The Aurora Lobby Café is open from 6AM to 12
midnight featuring continental and Filipino dishes. We were glad to have sampled a few and all
are indeed delectable.
In an attempt to visit the bars and restaurants that surround
the area during the night, we were taken a back due to heavy downpour. Fortunately, the cafe's happy hour served us for an instant drinking session. It was a good decision though
to stay at the Aurora Lobby Café for a more relaxed and enjoyable drinking
spree.
Herald
Suites Polaris is indeed about comfort and a relaxing ambiance. I truly recommend a stay at the said hotel
even just for a weekend to spend quality time with friends and family and weekdays for business meetings at their lounges and café.
