Posted June 8, 2023

Serviced residences are a cross between hotels and condominiums. You get the hospitality offered by hotels with the warmth of a home. They offer premium amenities and bigger living spaces, and can also be more cost-effective, especially as a long-stay option.

The Suites offer an indoor swimming pool with a view of the city.

The Suites’ guests will have access to TLM’s premium amenities.

For business travelers and foreign nationals who stay over weeks or months, and international tourists who prefer self-guided vacations, serviced residences offer the ideal accommodation.

Growing interest

There has been a growing interest in serviced residences among locals, too.

Staycationers love the flexibility, including the ability to cook or do the laundry, even accomplish work remotely, whereas career-oriented individuals and executives would find the reliable servicing advantageous. And as Filipino homebuyers seek more upscale developments, these offerings could fit their taste.

The Suites at Torre Lorenzo Malate is a tall building with a lot of windows on top of it.

The Suites will feature 168 upscale studio and one- and two-bedroom units, with sizes ranging from 21.6 sqm to 61.6 sqm, bigger than some hotel and condo cuts.
