Why The Picasso, over the other Salcedo options
Three global operators dominate serviced residences in Salcedo Village: Ascott (Somerset Central Salcedo and Citadines Salcedo) and Swiss-Belhotel (Valero Grand Suites). Their messaging is more or less interchangeable — certifications, loyalty programmes, efficiency — with no identity rooted in the Philippines. The Picasso is the only independently branded option among them.
What sets it apart: a Cubism-inspired building designed as a genuine architectural statement, a named Spanish-Mediterranean restaurant in Pablo Bistro (open until midnight), a rotating Filipino art gallery in Altro Mondo (3rd floor, free), and a single-operator scale of 143 units that allows the kind of service responsiveness larger properties struggle to match.
for Couples
The Barcelona Suite with bathtub (88 sqm) and the Picasso Loft (93 sqm, bi-level) are the natural picks for a romantic staycation, both with private balconies over the city. Pablo Bistro serves tapas, striploin, gin, and wine until midnight without leaving the building, and Altro Mondo offers an evening on the third floor with no transit, no reservation, and no admission.
For proposals, anniversaries, and Valentine's Day, call reservations at +632 8828 4774 to arrange a table, gallery access, and a room setup.
for Families
The Mallorca Adjoining Rooms — a Malaga Studio joined to a Barcelona Suite with bathtub — are the purpose-built family option. Eight pairs, by direct booking (+632 8828 4774 or reservations@picassomakati.com). The kitchenette in every room keeps dining costs down, and the Salcedo Saturday Market and Jaime Velasquez Park are both about 400 metres away for weekend mornings.
for Digital Nomads and Remote Workers
This is the most explicitly equipped remote-work stay in its set. Dual 300Mbps WiFi (Converge and Infinivan) in every room removes the risk of depending on a single provider. An ergonomic chair — not a dining chair pressed into service — is standard. The kitchenette covers three home-cooked meals a day.
The Extended Stay Promo (35% off rack, minimum seven consecutive nights on the Malaga Studio) makes it the most cost-efficient productivity-first stay around, and Cartel Deli opens at 7:00 AM with Coffee by Yardstick.
for Business Travelers and Corporate Relocation
Salcedo Village is one of Metro Manila's densest business addresses — RCBC Plaza, the Makati Superblock, and dozens of headquarters are a walk or short ride from L.P. Leviste. At 143 units, The Picasso can nearly always accommodate an individual executive booking, even on peak weeks.
The Extended Stay Promo and bespoke corporate housing suit employees on assignment; email reservations@picassomakati.com with your dates and company details for a proposal.
for Corporate Offsites and Events
The Picasso has four event spaces suited to different MICE formats:
The Picasso Loft
80 sqm, intimate gatherings for up to 10
Altro Mondo Gallery
73 sqm, cocktails, launches, and creative receptions
Converted Suite
61–67 sqm, flexible setups for smaller groups
The Paulo Picasso Function Room
73 sqm, meetings, training, and lectures
Every space includes an LCD projector, whiteboard, markers, and basic sound, plus complimentary coffee, tea, water, and mints. Additional catering runs through TOSH Cafe (The Old Spaghetti House). Group bookings need a minimum of 10 rooms. For a MICE quotation, call +632 8828 4774.

"Stayed at The Picasso during a work trip to Makati. Great location -- walkable to Greenbelt and most of the offices I was visiting. The rooms are well-designed and actually functional for working. Pablo Bistro was a nice surprise."

'The art gallery inside the hotel is a great touch. It gives the property a genuinely boutique feel rather than the typical cookie-cutter serviced residence. Staff were consistently helpful throughout my stay.'

'One of the better hotels in Salcedo Village. The rooms are spacious, the kitchenette is fully equipped, and the
location is excellent for anyone working in the Makati CBD. Would stay again.'
