The development offers different types of rooms that emphasize harmony and sustainability through premium-quality furnishings and modern interiors: Studio Deluxe, Studio Premier, and One Bedroom Deluxe. For bigger families or groups, they can book the Two Bedroom Deluxe or the Three Bedroom Deluxe. All rooms include free breakfast.
Apart from family- and pet-friendly rooms, they also offer a range of amenities that both leisure and business travelers can enjoy and maximize throughout their stay. This includes an all-day dining restaurant where freshly prepared dishes are served to your heart’s content; a function room suitable for intimate gatherings, birthday celebrations, or business functions; a Cubby Playroom, which is a colorful and safe space for kids to play and rest; and a fitness center equipped with a wide range of gym equipment designed for your needs.
If health and wellness are your top priorities for quick staycations or long-term stays, you might also consider their WellTech Suite. It is a thoughtfully furnished room with a massage chair, eye massager, scent diffuser, and fitness ball that allows guests to relax and recharge, while also staying in touch with Somerset Valero’s branding on mindful living and holistic well-being.

Moreover, Somerset Valero is also exploring collaborations to enhance its wellness-focused guest experiences. One of the collaborations is with SAMA Studio, a wellness studio that offers classes like yoga, breathwork, and Pilates. This allows guests to enjoy a more intentional, intimate, and unique wellness experience, and their studio is also nearby if you’re looking for more options.
Our experience
We were able to experience Somerset Valero Makati’s top-notch hospitality and exceptional service as we stayed in their Studio Premium, a comfortable, clean, and well-appointed space where we were able to enjoy an overnight stay free from the hassle and hustle of everyday life.
While the space is indeed pleasing to the eyes with locally sourced décor and sleek, modern furniture that makes the overall design coherent and aligned with the development’s branding, what we loved more was the comfort and convenience we experienced throughout our stay. The staff was incredibly accommodating to our queries and concerns, making us feel more at ease rather than intimidated.
Moreover, everything still feels within reach. If you’re suddenly in need of a quick coffee fix, there are numerous cafés within the vicinity, or if you are craving a specific cuisine, there are many restaurants in the area that cater to different tastes and preferences. And for those with work-from-home (or work-from-anywhere) setups, you can still get your daily steps in with Makati City‘s walkable spaces. We were able to take mindless strolls and see where our feet would take us. In my case, it led me to a drugstore for a quick errand and a local cookie shop where I was able to buy a sweet treat before settling down to work.
Home away from home
Situated in the heart of Makati, it is the place for those looking for a quick getaway from the chaos of everyday life while still enjoying the convenience and accessibility that the city brings.

As soon as you step out of the development, everything feels within reach: a strip of up-and-coming and established restaurants, cafés, and fast-food chains, convenience stores and drugstores, and walkable spaces ideal for your daily morning jogs or evening strolls if you want to take your mind elsewhere.
Similarly, this is a great option for business travelers and digital nomads who are either on quick business trips or longer stays. Despite being surrounded by Makati City’s business hubs, relaxation becomes effortless with its eco- and wellness-focused rooms and amenities.
Somerset Valero Makati serves as an important piece of Ascott Philippines’ esteemed portfolio in Makati, which includes Ascott Makati, Somerset Millennium Makati, Somerset Central Salcedo Makati, Citadines Salcedo Makati, Citadines Benavidez Makati, and Oakwood Makati Avenue.
