The 5-minute briefing on Fairmont's Manila flagship. Fairmont Makati — sister property to Raffles, Spectrum Sunday brunch institution, the larger Ayala Center luxury hotel. Fairmont Makati is the Manila outpost of Fairmont Hotels and Resorts, the heritage Canadian-origin luxury brand. Located in Makati's Ayala Center, it shares the same tower as Raffles Makati but operates at a larger scale and with different brand positioning. For most guests, Fairmont is the more-accessible Ayala Center 5-star vs. Raffles' all-suite intimacy. Why Fairmont matters The Fairmont brand is one of luxury hospitality's heritage names — Banff Springs, the Plaza New York, Le Château Frontenac. Bringing Fairmont to Manila gave the Makati luxury cluster another international 5-star option alongside The Peninsula, Raffles, and the older Makati Shangri-La. Fairmont Makati is larger than Raffles (more standard rooms vs. all-suites), making it the more typical 5-star booking for business and leisure travelers. The two properties (Raffles + Fairmont) share the Spectrum dining venue, which is one of Manila's most-acclaimed Sunday brunches — and one of the most-cited Fairmont member experiences.
