THE SPHERE SERVICED RESIDENCES in MAKATI, "Where Everything Revolves Around You!"

Staying in a serviced residence is a cheaper option than hotels - especially if you're planning to stay long term. For staycations or a quick trip to Metro Manila, I also choose to stay in a service residence when given the chance because serviced residences provide the comforts of a hotel and the feel of "home." That is why, I am so delighted to have found another luxury apartment in Makati - The Sphere Service Residences in Makati City.

Located in the heart of Salcedo Village in Makati, The Sphere Serviced Residences is a brand-new hotel that is at the center of everything. Ideal for business and leisure travelers, it boasts of iconic views of the city where one could experience the fun of living in the heart of Makati City, and enjoy the thrill of exciting Makati's bustling city life. Its prime location is situated right at the center of Makati's central business district and near the city's shopping and entertainment establishments. Food chains, supermarket, and other commercial and entertainment establishments are just also few meters away. This makes it possible for corporate travelers to work (and play) from their home-away-from-home.

The Sphere Serviced Residences is located at The Stratosphere Building, which is a commercial-residential property. It is managed by Hospitality Innovators Inc., and they occupy the the 21st to 26th floors of The Stratosphere Building. Each floor is home to 20 well-appointed studio and one-bedroom suites. Upon arrival at the hotel, their friendly staff greeted us with warm smiles and assist us with your booking. Checking-in was fast, smooth and efficient. I love it!

The Sphere Serviced Residences' unit is meant to be enjoyed! I was totally impressed when we entered our one-bedroom suite. I was at awe when I saw how spacious and lovely our room suite is. There is enough space to move around and it has lovely and "industrial-chic" interiors that exude a relaxing vibe and a very homey feel. It also smells fresh, clean and complemented with top-notch amenities designed to meet the most discriminating taste of every guest.

The unit features a spacious living room, a fully equipped kitchen complete with glass top stoves, microwave, refrigerator, coffee and tea making equipment, and a dining area big enough for four people. I love the unit's floor to ceiling glass windows that let natural light in. The room feels clean, fresh, and airy because of its size.

As I enter the bedroom, I was impressed. It is also spacious and smells fresh and clean. Things are well-kept and very organized. Its cozy and modern interiors gave me an engaging feel and the lighting inside is adequate for the room's size. There is a huge queen size with a tiny bed table on the sides with an alarm clock. The bed is coupled with high quality pillows, fresh and clean cotton sheets and plush comforter. I hurriedly tried it and I feel like I just wanna lay here and sleep. It's so comfy!

I was quite impressed by the much needed modern amenities equipped inside the room such as free WiFi, Bluetooth speakers, and a 43-inch smart TV with cable channels both at the living room and at the bedroom. It also has an electronic safe, a cabinet and a cozy work station. The living room and the bedroom both have an individually-controlled air conditioning unit, so adjusting it to your preferred temperature is not a problem.

The toilet and bath is also quite nice. It is not that spacious, but they have maximized the space by putting only the essentials inside. It has clean water closet, a nice sink with huge mirror, and a shower area with hot and cold shower feature and excellent water pressure. Toiletries such as shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, vanity and dental care kits were also provided. The body and hand towels all smell fresh! Everything I need are here! Truly awesome! I couldn't ask for more.

The unit is indeed spacious and has all the much-needed amenities for a relaxing and comfortable stay. Everything is clean, fresh and well-organized! It is thoughtfully-designed and feels uncluttered as it is minimally-designed and well-organized. With all these amazing room amenities and facilities, every guest will surely have a relaxing and comfortable stay that they'll end up just staying inside the comforts of their room. I can assure you of that!


Every booking at The Sphere Serviced Residences come with a complimentary breakfast at their partner-restaurant cafe called Little Flour, which is conveniently located in the ground floor of the building.

During our stay, we got to try their signature The Sphere Breakfast which is composed on bacon steak, eggs, crispy potatoes and pan de sal. We also got to try their Pork Adobo and Sisig Rice Bowl which are both so good!


Getting hungry any time of the day or night is not a problem as it is located at the heart of Makati, restaurants, fast food chains, and convenience stores are just a short walk away. Also, The Stratosphere lobby is home to a number of F & B establishments, such as Starbucks Reserve, Datong Ice House, and Tea 18, among others.

Located at the 9th floor are the indoor swimming pool and the fitness gym. The indoor pool and deck are a welcome sight on a warm day. It is surrounded by nice day beds where guests could lounge while reading a book or enjoying a good swim. The fitness center is equipped with the basics for those who need to burn some calories while on vacation.

Overall, we had an amazing and memorable stay at The Sphere Serviced Residences. With its prime location, superb room amenities, quality service, proximity to the city's shopping and entertainment center, restaurants, and Makati's Central Business District, it is an ideal place to stay in Makati for business and leisure travelers. We truly enjoyed our stay and I'm giving it my two thumbs up! Highly recommended!
