A Citadines Lady Experience at Citadines Salcedo Makati City

Established in the 1970s, Salcedo Village remains to be one of the well-sought residential and commercial areas in Makati City. The location is filled with different establishments that cater to both the residents and the office workers. More than being a lively place, Salcedo Village prides itself in having restaurants, cafes, and hidden finds that are unique to the village, making the locals and visitors not just happy but part of a large community. It is because of this that Salcedo Village was chosen as the location for the country’s first Citadines-branded serviced residence.

“Citadines Salcedo Makati is the first Citadines-branded serviced residence in the country that combines the convenience of staying in a hotel with the comforts of home. More than just being a place to stay, the property is part of a bigger community that makes living in the Philippines much more enjoyable for our residents,” shared Mr. Arthur Gindap, Ascott’s Regional General Manager for the Philippines and Thailand.

As soon as I got inside my room at the 24th floor of Citadines Salcedo Makati an adorable welcome kit awaits.

The Welcome Kit has a towel art, fruit basket (apple,mango and banana) and sweets (choco and peanut butter spread, choco pretzel and bar of homemade chocolates) and a hand writen love not by the endearing resident manager Ms. Susan

I was booked for a 2 days and 2 nights stay at a 1 bedroom suite at Citadines Salcedo Makati so I can fully experience what it is like to live in the center of Makati City.

Here is a raw video of what my room looked like and the view at night time. I honestly love how spacious, minimalist yet modern the interiors are. Please take a look:

SHOPPING

After checking in my first night, got settled and familiarize myself with my home for the weekend. I immediately head out to go shopping at the Ayala Center (Ayala Center has Greenbelt, Landmark, Glorietta and SM). Althougj Citadines Salcedo is also close to the new malls at the Makati/Kalayaan Avenue side (Century City Mall, A Venue Mall, and SM Jazz Mall).

I walked going to Ayala Center and passed by the Ayala Triangle where the Light and Sound Show is on-going. They usually have this during Christmas Season.
