Antel Spa Residences to rise in Makati

Providing premium hotel services require infrastructure and systems that match the skill and experience honed by years of leadership.

Antel Land Holdings Inc. combined its Full-Service Residential Suites (FSRS) concept with the premier management savvy of Genesis Hotels and Resorts Corp. (Genesis) in the fast-rising Antel Spa Residences.

FSRS is a revolutionary concept pioneered by Antel Land Holdings Inc. in 2005 that sought to provide true hotel facilities and services in a residential condominium at the onset, a big departure from the traditional hybrid condo-tel and apartelle style buildings, wherein the hotel services are just merely add-ons to the existing structures.

Antel’s approach gave birth to a new category and will soon serve as the benchmark for future residential towers in the country, spearheaded by Antel Spa Residences and its predecessor The A. Venue Residences.

"With tourism in the country growing by 4.46 percent since last year and the urgent need to service the shortage of hotel accommodation for below $ 100, Antel Spa Residences’ bold entry into the market is a timely and strategic move since the lifestyle tower’s tourist–friendly FSRS amenities will greatly aid us in implementing our proven management style and expertise," said Genesis president Miguel Cerqueda.

Also under Genesis Hotels are Astoria Plaza in Pasig City, The Pearl Manila Hotel, and Casa del Mar Gold and Dive Resort in Cebu.
