Situated near the Makati commercial and business district, the emergence of Poblacion as one of Makati's exciting dining destinations has seen the rise of numerous hotels offering smart alternatives to the usual options. The diverse cuisine from different restaurants and a lively bar scene combine to make Poblacion a popular favorite, and U Hotels Makati is right there at the center of it all (for more on U Hotels Makati and the vibrant Poblacion neighborhood, see my post on my other food blog, Be Inspired at U Hotels Makati, The First Art Hotel in Poblacion).


The bright and spacious lobby sets you in the right groove the moment you enter with its warm and plush earth tones of supple leather and red brick-lined walls reflecting a modern industrial vibe that's both welcoming and comforting. Look up and be welcomed in different languages with the artful calligraphy of Avin Del Rosario and you just know U Hotels Makati fits right in with the creative character of the neighborhood.


At the lobby, guests can enjoy unlimited coffee, tea and tasty bites with easy access to fast Wi-Fi connectivity, essentials for the modern traveler. Think of it as your sanctuary from the bustling street scene of Poblacion.


But it's the suites at U Hotels Makati that become your own personal gallery, each one adorned with original artworks from local artists like Mercedes Olondriz, Kris Abrigo, Avin Del Rosario, Anina Rubio, Exldmanila, Trip63, Chillersssss, and Archie Oclos aka Tatak A. You'll also find inspiring messages on the headboards for that added touch. The other amenities, from the Five-Star quality mattresses draped in 350 thread count linens to the LED TV, personal ref, work desk and chair, coffee and tea-making facilities, towels and toiletries, and fast internet access round out the list to make your stay at U Hotels Makati a memorable one. There's definitely a fun, creative and quirky character in all the rooms of U Hotels Makati, and why not, this is Poblacion.  


The morning after, that's pretty special too at U Hotels Makati. Diners can enjoy breakfast at the lobby for an early start served with fresh fruits and unlimited rounds of coffee.
