Sky Tower brings Solaire’s key count to 800. “We’re fairly big- sized now, but I would strongly suggest we feel more intimate than most other places like us do,” Mr Arasi says. “It’s how we’re designed. It’s a more intimate design. It’s different venues within the overall envelope.” Some credit is also due Solaire’s 5,600 employees, whom Mr Arasi calls “the best team members I’ve ever worked with.” SKY SUITES Suites in Sky Tower range from 124 square meters to a whopping 936 square meters. Interiors by Solaire Director for Interior Design Samantha Drummond mix the hotel’s signature orange with earth tones and basic black to luxurious effect. In most suites, the separate sitting area with views of the bay has a sectional sofa, easy chair with ottoman, artworks and a high boy concealing the minibar. The effect is elegant and sophisticated, yet homey and comfortable. Some suites are entered via recessed vestibules off the hallway and can be combined, not via the traditional connecting doors inside rooms, but by closing off the vestibule area from the hallway. Sky Tower expands Solaire’s VIP gaming with 66 tables in 10 bright and airy private gaming suites, “the most gorgeous gaming salons ever to see a deck of cards,” Mr Arasi contends. The new With views of the lobby and Manila Bay, Waterside Restobar advances the gastro-bar concept, serving meals and snacks with Mediterranean and Latin accents from its ensemble of show kitchens.
