You can eat well without leaving the hotel: Mirèio serves French cuisine, Spectrum offers international dishes, and The Writers Bar and The Long Bar are great for cocktails and light snacks. For a change of scene, Greenbelt is a six-minute walk away and has many dining options, and Grappa's Ristorante is about 0.25 miles northwest. Bizu Patisserie is also nearby for pastries and sweets. The hotel's own Café Macaron is another spot for tasty pastries.
Raffles Makati sits in the heart of Makati's central business district, a polished, walkable area with upscale shopping and dining. Greenbelt Mall is a short stroll away, and Glorietta Mall and Ayala Center are also within easy walking distance. The Ayala Museum is nearby for a dose of culture, and Dela Rosa Street is close by. The hotel's own bar and restaurant offer convenient options right on site. For a green escape, the area's parks provide a pleasant break from the city's energy.
From Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Raffles Makati is about a 15-20 minute drive, roughly 12 km away. Taxis and ride-hailing services are readily available outside the terminals. You can also arrange a private airport transfer with the hotel in advance. If you prefer public transit, the Ayala MRT Station is a short walk from the hotel, about 7 minutes, and connects you to the city's train network. From the station, it's an easy stroll to the hotel on Makati Avenue.
In the evening, you can enjoy the hotel's own Writers Bar for classic cocktails and live music, or the Mistral Rooftop Bar for city views. For a cultural night out, Repertory Philippines performs at the Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium at RCBC Plaza, a short drive away. Greenbelt and Glorietta malls, both within a few minutes' walk, have cinemas for a movie. The nearby Ayala Museum is a short stroll north if you prefer a quieter evening. Star City, 4.0 km away, offers amusement park rides for a lively option.
Raffles Makati is a great base for exploring Manila, especially for first-time visitors. The hotel sits in the heart of Makati's business district, with Greenbelt Mall just a 1-minute walk away and Glorietta Mall 2 minutes away, so you can easily explore the area on foot. For the city's major sights, you'll need to travel a bit further: Star City and Manila Zoological & Botanical Garden are 4.0 km away, while Rizal Park is 5.9 km and Manila Ocean Park 6.3 km. Ayala MRT Station is a 7-minute walk, making it simple to reach those farther attractions. The hotel's own restaurant and bar offer convenient dining before you head out. With close malls and transit nearby, it's a solid starting point for both local exploration and day trips.
