aurumOne: Makati’s blend of comfort and affordability
MANILA, Philippines - Whether on business or leisure, every traveler hopes for certain things: inexpensive but comfortable accommodations, the convenience of getting around with ease, and the ability to cover more activities in less time. Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case when traveling to Makati.
Located along Evangelista Street, aurumOne Makati is a haven in a city that is bustling with business and lifestyle affairs. Built from the vision of owner Francisco Colayco and his partners from Kapatiran sa Kasaganahan Service and Multipurpose Cooperative, the property also stands as a monument to, and a solid investment for, hardworking OFWs and their families. “We want to demonstrate that with good service and offerings, small investors working together can do it. We envisioned that when our OFWs come home for good, there will be a long-term investment that awaits them here,” Colayco says.
Operating on their soft launch since June of this year, the hotel offers a no-frills and affordable place to stay for the budget-conscious business and leisure travelers of Makati City. “I want our guests to feel that we are paying attention to what really counts, which are comfortable and clean rooms, complete bathroom amenities and excellent guest service ” Colayco says.
Main transportation hubs, entertainment centers and the Makati central business district are just a few minutes’ drive from the hotel. They also offer airport transfers; eventually, shuttle services will be available for the convenience of their guests.
Nestled within the neighborhood of Bangkal, away from the noise of the business district, the hotel has deluxe rooms that can accommodate two adults and one child. The hotel features 63 well-appointed guestrooms, 43 of which are aurum deluxe rooms, 9 aurum suites and 11 aurum lofts, which come ideal for those who are traveling in groups.
Each room comes with custom-made luxury beds, complete accommodation amenities and services without weighing down on the price tag. Corporate clients can also take full advantage of a fully-equipped meeting room, a spacious function room, and a roof deck that can be prepared according to their needs.
Located at the heart of a vibrant neighborhood with mostly shop dealers, aurumOne Makati engaged the community in promoting their industry. “We are working with the Bangkal buy-and-sell dealers; actually we hosted a meeting with them, because we want to make this place a destination,” Colayco adds.
Guests are urged to take advantage of their holiday promos that come with Christmas freebies. Booking is from Oct. 1, 2014 to Jan. 2, 2015, and stay period is from Dec. 1, 2014, to Jan. 2, 2015.
