When one speaks of Salcedo Village in Makati, it is usually characterized by men in suits walking hurriedly through the bustling streets in the weekdays, and slow leisurely strolls in the Salcedo Saturday Market in the weekends. It truly is the melting pot of business and leisure.
With the Salcedo area being populated mostly by office workers only present in the weekdays and by families who truly live and breathe the Makati lifestyle, one might not easily equate the area with leisurely staycations and relaxing trips. But a newly-opened serviced residences in Salcedo just might change that.

The Sphere Serviced Residences (managed by Hospitality Innovators, Incorporated or HII) is a high-rise brand new hotel in Salcedo, Makati that offers convenience with luxury in the most serene way possible.
Situated above the twenty floors of residential units, The Sphere offers studio and one-bedroom units with a beautiful view of the city. Each room is exceptionally spacious and gorgeously designed.
The industrial-minimalist look with soft hues of blue is genuinely relaxing and a welcome contrast to the hustle of Makati. The ceiling-to-floor glass windows also allow more than enough natural light that makes an even more serene atmosphere inside the rooms.
The rooms of The Sphere also allows cooking! But if you’re too lazy to cook, there are a variety of food choices that are in the building, such as Little Flour Cafe which is also the provider of complimentary breakfast for checked-in guests.
For breakfast, we’d recommend that you try Little Flour’s The Sphere Breakfast, only available to guests of the hotel!
If you’re looking for ways to get loose, you may also check out the indoor pool and fitness center at The Sphere–perfect amenities for a city staycation.

And if you totally must bring your work with you, there are study tables with lamps available in the rooms.

Or you can just bring the whole office with you at the Apollo function room which can be used as one spacious hall or divided up into three meeting rooms.
The Sphere’s Operations Manager Alec Yatco imparts, “The Sphere was conceived with the corporate travelers in mind who want to be within walking distance of their work place. However, Salcedo Village becomes a lively residential area especially with the Salcedo Saturday Market during the weekends, making the hotel also ideal for family staycations. Plus, our beautiful indoor pool with its adjacent resto/bar will surely be a popular draw for those who wish to unwind.”
While the luxurious accommodation and amenities are enough to entice you to The Sphere, one of the best things about it is truly its location. We love how it’s right in the midst of Makati, as the perfect place for the busy bees of the corporate world to pause, relax, and have a nice breather before going back into work. The comfort and serenity of The Sphere Serviced Residences will give you that perfect balance of work and relaxation!
