In the lobby of Azumi Hotel is Nail Spa owned by my friend, Cherina Sy – Sister of the owner of Azumi 🙂  There is access from the main lobby 
And there is access from outside the hotel
Love the giant bag and shoe by the entrance
Love the comfy sofas 🙂
 No need to get out of Azumi to have a relaxing satiation.  Blissful feel and blissful hands pampering at Nail Spa
Super love this video of my sister in law, Krie for Messy Bessy. Â It was made by her Kuya, Jun Reyes under the direction of his son Nicolo
Because of your support in 2014, we’ve been able to provide education and employment for over 50 young adults, who otherwise would never have been able to graduate from high school and college.
Please allow me to share with you this short video that details the milestones that you were very much a part of.

Indie.go is a production company, and they also built the first hollywood-standard studios in the country.
Here’s an article on his new venture,
In Azumi Boutique hotel lobby is Romulo Cafe

Romulo Cafe Now Open in Makati November 23, 2011
I love Romulo Cafe because its comfort food and it feels just like home so I believe it fits very well as a hotel coffeeshop 🙂 Congratulations Enzo and Sandy Squillantini on your 3rd branch.  I am so happy I have been to all 3 already 🙂
We had breakfast buffet
And we also had dinner
Lechon Kawali Sisig
Lengua
Boneless Crispy Pata Binagoongan which is one of their bestseller

 There is only one suite (A Villa) in Azumi Hotel which is on the rooftop / penthouse floor (17th flr). This is where we stayed. It is by the hotel pool and has a 360 degree view. As I feature this, this has been removed already so we are lucky to have stayed here. Romulo Cafe will turn it into a restaurant or rooftop bar.  Construction started right after we checked out a few weeks ago
 View from the villa
 The pool is actually open to all the hotel residents so during the day there are a lot of people in the pool.  So there is not much privacy in the A Villa but at 10pm – the pool is closed so the whole top floor is yours
 Looking into the A Villa 🙂  It’s the living room and dining table with kitchen -On the other side is the view on the other side of the building which is a more private balcony – no one can go to that balcony.  The hubby is working again on our staycation haha!!
 here it is- living room and dining room
 Bedroom
 Love the view from the bathroom
 Spacious closets
Visitor # 1 , bestfriend Eds who is always in the Alabang area showing houses to clients! Â So glad she passed by
Of course, drinks from brother in law, Steve of Sola and Stellina’s 🙂  Inside the refrigerator 
 More visitors at night 🙂  Ned, Janet, Josh, Jinggoy, Fia, Pao and Trina. We had the whole roughneck to ourselves from 10 pm onwards
Maggie Q wore a double-faced silk crepe tunic dress — featuring crystal embellishments, side slits and a deep-V back — paired with wide double-faced silk crepe pants with the classic ankle strap sandal in silver. She accessorized with jewelry from Neil Lane.
Melanie Laurent wore a strapless silk and wool mikado column gown, featuring a sequined Chinese garden print with the classic ankle strap sandal in nude. She carried a custom minaudière wrapped in Italian straw, trimmed in Italian lamb nappa. She accessorized with the Mughal Earrings and Snake Ring from David Webb.
 I love staycations, but mostly I like discovering nice places around the city. Going to Alabang is quite far for me already so for me it’s a getaway to go there and I am happy there are some nice places to go to like Azumi.  Thank you to Chris and Patty for hosting us in their beautiful boutique hotel.
Azumi Boutique Hotel at Madrigal Business Park Alabang.  Just look for the black building. Originally Chris built this as a condo building to be sold to individuals but last minute saw the demand for hotels in the area so he converted it. It’s a 3-star hotel  conveniently located – very near Molito and Ayala Alabang Towncente
 Interiors by the Almario sisters
 Nail Spa by the lobby owned by the sister of Chris – our friend Cherina
 We toured the rooms
 On each floor of the hotel as the elevator opens is a panel which looks like an artwork but is really textured tiles by Ecocarat. A brand of tiles which the owner of Azumi, Chris Chilip, brings in from Japan. It absorbs harmful substances, moisture and odors.  ECOCARAT is a revolutionary natural ceramic tile for interior wall surfaces. Designed for surfaces not subject to becoming wet, INAX succeeded in developing a completely new building material that provides functional and aesthetic features beyond conventional tiles. By controlling room humidity, odors and harmful substances, ECOCARAT fosters healthful and comfortable living at a level unmatched by other wall surfacing products.
There are 187 rooms in Azumi Boutique Hotel with 17 rooms per floor. My favorite is on the 5th floor- the Garden rooms which has a balcony/garden.  It also has a daybed for an extra person or just as a sofa. ?Room rates range from around P2,700 to P3,500 per night.  I heard that when there is brownout, the residents of the villages look for hotels to stay in and this is one of the options 🙂
 More Ecocarat walls in the rooms
 Garden Villa
 Balcony of the Garden Villa seen from a higher floor
 Each has a kitchenette.  Originally this building was supposed to be sold as condos but eventually they decided to make it a hotel due to the demand in the area.

Thank you Mons for including me here and allowing me to share something.  I am adding some advice here, since I did not fully understand the question haha 🙂
I always make it a point to have dinner everyday with my family because that is the only time we are all at home and it is the time when we can spend quality time with each other.  Going to mass together and Sunday family day is very important.  All these I get from the best Mom that I have who is the busiest working mom I know even until now that she is almost 70 years old, my Energizer bunny mom 🙂
Congratulations to Art in the Park!!  Once again an astonishing success! 🙂
