Raffles Hotels & Resorts

 

Over the past 120 years, the mystique and romance of the legendary Raffles Hotels & Resorts brand has grown from the legendary Raffles in Singapore into a worldwide symbol for hospitality excellence – stretching from Beverly Hills , California to Siem Reap , Cambodia . Throughout that journey, Raffles has embraced the great secret of travel – consistently making itself at home in each city, transferring that graceful sense of belonging to its guests, and enchanting residents with unforgettable sojourns.

 

Raffles hotels are landmarks in their respective cities, each earning international travel accolades, while the Raffles Hotels & Resorts brand itself has been ranked second in the world by Condé Nast. Raffles’ resonant icon is the Traveler’s Palm, one of nature’s most distinctive plants; in ancient times, the life-giving water stored at the base of each leaf helped sustain travelers. The leaves of the Traveler’s Palm also served as an informal compass, coming to rest in an east-west direction. One glance at the Traveler’s Palm instantly communicates a world of heightened excellence; those who know Raffles immediately understand what it represents. Introduced to Singapore in the early 1900s, it has come to symbolize the spirit of ‘welcome’ one experiences at Raffles, and a sense of finding one’s way home.

 

For some guests, the superlative Raffles experience sparks the desire to make it a more permanent arrangement. For this reason, Raffles is now offering ownership participation in a variety of forms, from Raffles Residences to private Raffles Estates; these branded luxury properties are designed to satisfy the needs of a sophisticated global clientele that demands only the best.

 

For interested buyers, we have an Opportunity to Purchase Agreements that will put you in the best position for selection and pricing. Feel free to call on me anytime for more information.

Foliage and water features, an observatory, "lanterns" and a designer lounge, entertainment, dining and fitness areas - all these and more make The Knightsbridge Residences a perfect haven for the successful, stylish citizen of today.


            &nb sp;       The Knightsbridge Residences Inspiration

 

 

The Knightsbridge Residences at Century City takes its name from the most expensive neighborhood in London.

Home to many of the globe's richest people, Knightsbridge commands the highest property prices in the world and is the location of 14 top most expensive streets in Britain.

Situated in the heart of London, with houses, apartment buildings and some with rare private gardens, it is also adjacent to Inner London's largest public park, Hyde Park.


In February 2007, Knightsbridge became famous for being the location of the world's most expensive apartment when a Qatari prince bought a home there for £100,000,000.

Knightsbridge is also home to the flagship stores of many British and international fashion houses, like renowned London-based designers Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, Cartier and Gucci. It is the headquarters of banks servicing high net-worth individuals, including Coutts - bankers to the Queen, rumoured to reject any potential clients worth less than £5 million.

Some of London's most renowned restaurants are here, as are many exclusive hair and beauty salons, antiques and antiquities dealers, and a clutch of chic bars and clubs.

The Knightsbridge is also home to the world-famous Harrods department store owned by Egyptian businessman Mohammed Al Fayed-the shopping fantasyland where you can buy everything from high fashion to 300 varieties of cheese, and serves as a corner shop to many of the world's billionaires and celebrities.

WHAT MAKES LONDON'S KNIGHTSBRIDGE SO VALUABLE?

"It is the address of desire for the world's crème de la crème."

Knightsbridge is just a short stroll from Hyde Park, the boating attraction on the Serpentine Lake, and from luxury stores like Harvey Nichols at the corner of Harvey and Sloane Street. The neighborhood also is not far from the theaters in the West End.


"And what's slightly hidden in Knightsbridge is the strong diplomatic presence in the area, which means you have a great deal of visible and invisible security. You can walk around at midnight or at 1AM and feel completely safe."

"Knightsbridge also has the feel of a village in that it's a very residential area but with some of the world's best clubs, shops and restaurants within walking distance."

 

The Knightsbridge Residences Location

 

 

 

The Knightsbridge Residences will be the second residential tower to rise at Century City in Kalayaan Avenue, within the heart of the Philippines' Central Business District.

Long renowned as the epicenter of Philippine social, cultural and financial activity, Makati is constantly evolving and reinvigorating itself, transforming into a true megalopolis that is poised to compete with other urban centers all over the world.

AT THE CENTER OF ALL THIS ENERGY LIES CENTURY CITY.
