Makati City| Celebrating New Year in Fraser Place Manila


happened on Dec.29, 2016 - Jan. 1, 2017


My eldest sister D was supposed to be home for the holidays and she wanted a special celebration since she seldom visits home.  As early as June of last year, we have already booked a hotel for the New Year celebration.  We opted to avoid any out-of- town trip as tourist destinations outside Metro Manila are too crowded during the holidays.  Staycation is the next best option.

I chanced upon Agoda's promo for Fraser Place Manila for almost 40% discounted rate.  I have read good reviews about it so we hurriedly booked our reservations.



However my sister's vacation break in the Philippines didn't push through so my family of half a dozen celebrated NY without her.

Checking-in is a breeze.  The receptionists are accommodating and very hospitable.  Hindi masusungit!

I'm quite impressed with this serviced apartment.  First, it is strategically located - just walking distance to Ayala Triangle and the retail centers like Greenbelt, Landmark and Glorietta.  There are also some convenience stores nearby like Ministop, etc.  If you are a fitness buff, you'll surely enjoy jogging/running around the vicinity and in Ayala Triangle.  You can also visit the dancing lights which we saw for the first time.


a huge crowd it is but the show is so entertaining

I was surprised that the 2 bedroom suite we booked is so spacious - with large dining, living area and a foyer.

doesn't look like a hotel door
