And of course, you should not miss the Rustan’s supermarket, whose popularity dates back in the ‘70’s.

On the other hand, if you want to experience gastronomic galore, you may visit the restaurants and bars within the vicinity of the Ayala Malls. These “food temples” offer our very own cuisine as well as international ones that would make your tummy happy day or night.
If you are a lover of arts and history, you may visit the Ayala Museum, famous for its 60 dioramas, which portrays the country’s important historical eras. You could also find the Heritage Library, a collection of Filipiniana articles that is worth reading.
So have fun and enjoy your stay at the Ascott hotel. The name may sound foreign, though it does depict class and elegance. But the hospitality and the kindness of its staff and management is what truly makes Ascott Makati Manila proudly Pinoy (another word for Filipino)!
