BOUTIQUE HOTEL TO RISE IN MAKATI

Makati City, Nov. 12, 1997 - A project like no other is set to rise along Kalayaan Avenue, Makati's restaurant row. It's a boutique hotel, which will offer the most sensible alternative to living in five-star hotels because it will offer all the services and facilities of one, without the corresponding prohibitive room rates.

Hotel Makati, a project of Cathay Land, will have a fully-functioning state-of-the-art business center with secretarial services, conference room facilities, function rooms and fax, copier, computers, printers.

The rooms will have study desks and generous table tops so that each could be transformed into a personal work station. This will be supplemented with technological enhancements such as communications ports and additional direct fiber-optic phone lines.

Businessmen could stay for a day or a year, because Hotel Makati will carry round-the- clock room service, laundry and dry cleaning services and valet service.
