One of the most exciting places to stay in is when you feel like you are above everything else. Well, The Gramercy Residences really could give you that feeling you need.
Skyline Staycation at The Gramercy Residences
The Gramercy Residences is the tallest building in Makati with 243.9m in height. When you are in one of the rooms, everything else below is smaller like ants. You can definitely have a great time enjoying the views on your own and the noise can’t get to you.
We had the chance to dwell on the 51st floor of The Gramercy Residences and nothing can erase the great feeling we had back then. We call this the Skyline Staycation (on our own terms only) as we see the whole of Makati in a bird’s eye view but not anything better when in an airplane.

Review and Experience during our Stay in Gramercy
NOTE: Once you’re in the lobby, you have to contact the person in charge of your stay. Contact number will be disclosed when your booking is confirmed. Communication was smooth and there was no problem in that too.
Ms. Yale (our contact person) escorted us to the room. Our room was on the 51st floor of The Gramercy Residences. The skyline was surreal and even better looking at night. The balcony view was just amazing and breathtaking.
The unit has complete basic needs for your stay. Wifi, kitchen cookware, refrigerator, sofa, Television set with cable channels, hot and cold shower, and toiletries. It’s like your home away from home for two days. I suggest you bring your movies if you want to have a movie night with friends. We bought raw goods from nearby SM Hypermarket and cooked them in the unit’s kitchen.
Since we had an access to the infinity pool, we didn’t let the chance pass. Please do note that you can only bring phone cameras in this area. Compact cameras like SLR/DSLR are not allowed for use. The infinity pool has great views and cool ambiance perfect for your Instagram photos. The water is cold so make sure you had enough meals before going to the pool to keep you warm. A pool for kids is also available and a lap pool only for lap swimming.
We definitely enjoyed our stay and will surely go back again. It’s perfect for couples like us and families as well. Your kids will definitely enjoy the place especially the pool area. Our experience was a blast! This skyline staycation was an epic one!
