The MICHELIN Keys distinction recognizes hotels that stand out for the quality of the overall stay experience, assessed against criteria including architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, personality and character, value, and contribution to the guest experience of the destination.
For Raffles Makati, the elevation to Two Keys reflects a hotel experience shaped by personalized service, spacious all-suite accommodations, and the renowned Raffles Butler Service. The distinction places the property among a select group of hotels recognized for delivering exceptional stays while offering guests a meaningful connection to destination and culture.
Fairmont Makati’s continued inclusion in the selection highlights the consistency of its guest experience.
