A Decade of Artistic Expression with Ascott Bonifacio Global City

November 13, 2024

In the heart of the gleaming metropolis of Bonifacio Global City, amidst some of the country’s most distinguished and recognized brands and businesses, stands Ascott BGC, the premier serviced residence and hospitality brand of The Ascott Limited in the Philippines.

Opening its doors to guests in 2014, the property has since become a local and international favorite, winning the trust and approval of several esteemed visitors from various industries and backgrounds.

Ascott BGC turns 10 in 2024, and it plans to celebrate this remarkable milestone with a multifaceted showcase of the arts. From culinary journeys to sensational performances and breathtakingly vibrant art pieces displayed throughout the property, Ascott defines itself as more than an accommodation for the well-travelled; it is also a keen purveyor and strong advocate of fine art in all its forms.

A SUBTLY SOPHISTICATED ARCHITECTURAL AND HOSPITALITY MARVEL

Shoulder-to-shoulder with the best that The Fort can offer, the residence stands as a 30-story high-rise that seamlessly blends with the surrounding buildings to create a stunning skyline. Its sleek glass façade appreciates the notion of being understated yet refined and inviting.

The unpretentious nature of the tower’s design was quickly noticed, and the building was dubbed the Best Hotel Development and Best Hotel Architectural Design in the esteemed Philippines Property Awards in 2015, only one year after it began its operations.

Commended with high praises for their interior during the same award, the 220-unit Hotel Residences, ranging from studio to three-bedroom apartments, are tastefully decorated using world-class Philippine art and Filipino-designed furniture and accents. Guests that visit Ascott Bonifacio Global City are treated to a one-of-a-kind hospitality experience combining the unique brand of understated luxury experience with warm and welcoming Filipino hospitality, creating a beloved and distinct identity for Ascott Bonifacio Global City.

AN ATMOSPHERE OF ARTISTIC ELEGANCE

During its inception, Ascott Bonifacio Global City collaborated and invited a talented selection of artists and designers to create an incredible showcase of art pieces throughout the property.

Housing a cornucopia of artistic installations: Tile, the 1,295-glass light fitting by Pamio Design for Italian modern lighting manufacturer Fabbian, coupled with the Fabbian Glass Chandelier made of 700 uniquely shaped glass pendants together with 14,000 crystals gently illuminates the lobby. The ethereal and breathtaking paintings of renowned artist Rico Lascano further transform the property into a vibrant exhibit of artistic expression, present from the common areas to the very rooms guests will stay in.

These creative displays throughout the property are further accentuated by regular collaborations with art-focused organizations and key opinion leaders to ensure that the property and its art remain timeless and appreciated by all.

A ONCE-IN-A-DECADE SOIREE

Each visit to Ascott is an experience worth returning to. The modern-day urban oasis is always looking to improve and elevate their guests’ quality of stay.

In doing so, Ascott BGC engages in a dialogue with guests to understand, listen to, and anticipate their unique needs. The property is quick to attribute and recognize that its success is due to the guests who stay with them. The Ascott Soiree, the brand’s long-standing seasonal event, invites guests for an evening of merriment and entertainment with an appreciation for the arts as the central theme and motif. This year, after a decade of service excellence and remarkable hospitality, the residences will host a multi-layered Soiree to convey their appreciation for fine arts, sharing it to all who have come to call Ascott BGC their home away from home.
