About / Our Story
The Picasso Boutique Serviced Residences opened in 2009 at 119 L.P. Leviste Street, Salcedo Village, Makati City -- one of Metro Manila's most established business and residential neighborhoods. The property was designed with a Cubism-inspired architectural identity and has operated continuously since its opening, accumulating over 1,400 verified reviews on TripAdvisor alone and earning the Travelers' Choice designation in 2024. The property is managed by Hospitality Innovators, Inc. (HII), a Philippine-based hospitality management company headquartered at G/F The Mondrian Residences, East Asia Drive, Filinvest City, Alabang, Muntinlupa City. HII manages 17 or more properties across the Philippines. The Sphere Serviced Residences, also located in Salcedo Village at 136 Valero Street, is a sister property under HII management. The HII website is hii.com.ph. The Picasso has 143 units across six room types: Malaga Studio (45 sqm, 96 units), Malaga Superior (45 sqm, 16 units), Andalusia Junior Suite (81 sqm, 6 units), Barcelona Suite (88 sqm, 23 units across two bathtub variants), Picasso Loft (93 sqm bi-level, 2 units), and Mallorca Adjoining Rooms (10 pairs). All rooms include a full kitchenette, private balcony, dual 300Mbps WiFi connections, JBL speakers, Smart TV, ergonomic work chair, and safety deposit box. Check-in is at 3:00 PM; check-out at 12:00 PM. The property operates a 3-star designation.
The Picasso's dining program consists of Pablo Bistro -- a Spanish-Mediterranean restaurant serving paella, striploin steaks, tapas, wine, and gin from 7:00 AM until midnight -- and Cartel Deli, a cafe-deli-bar serving Coffee by Yardstick, artisanal sandwiches, pastas, and pizzetas from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Both outlets offer in-room dining until 9:30 PM.
The Picasso's cultural programming centers on Altro Mondo Gallery, a 3rd-floor contemporary art space that rotates exhibitions of local and international Filipino artists every two to three months, open daily from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and free to both hotel guests and the Salcedo Village community. The property's position among boutique serviced residences in Makati is defined not by scale or chain affiliation but by a consistent and specific cultural identity established over 16 years of operation.
