An array of wondrous artworks and delicate touches elevate each restful stay at Ascott
What does living a life of luxury look like? Arguably, it isn’t all about the most extravagant and most opulent that the world has to offer. Sometimes it is simply about those moments of peace, calm, and comfort, or the little details that magnanimously add value to your daily life—things that give you joy and wouldn’t trade for anything.
These perfectly outline the finer lifestyle that awaits across the many refined properties of The Ascott Limited, where understated luxury is the beating heart of it all. In the metro, Ascott Makati and Ascott Bonifacio Global City Manila rise as exemplars of this remarkable class in discernable ways, especially through how glorious artworks and other creative touches are seamlessly incorporated into each property’s beautiful architecture.

Upon entering the Ascott Makati lobby, you will find Jaime Zobel de Ayala’s vivid creation, "Zobel and Zen, " a tribute to flourishing nature that delicately integrates the changing light of day. Further reintroducing the viewer to the prominent flowers and shells in the business magnate and art photographer’s earlier work, the piece is an exploration of dynamic colour and shape in the most graceful sense.
Similarly tackling the concepts of zen and nature, an abstract painting by esteemed visual artist Lao Lianben further adds an artful flair to the space. Through enigmatic yet definitive strokes, his masterpiece in Ascott Makati is a captivating composition of textures, shadows and dimensions. Likewise, these fine intricacies are what make it such an alluring yet unimposing marvel.

Ascott Bonifacio Global City Manila, on the other hand, emblazons its own bountiful trove for discerning travellers and residents. Recognised for its elegant and eco-friendly design, the property’s lobby is home to a stunning chandelier with over thousands of glass pendants, orbs, and strands that are softly illuminated to inspire you as soon as you walk in. This was crafted by the Italian lighting label, Fabbian, along with the mesmerising wall by the reception desk.
