For this year’s “Art of Luxury Travel,” Philippine Tatler Traveller partnered with MasterCard to mount the event cohosted by Raffles and Fairmont Makati.
Manila’s fashionable set, esteemed jetsetters, and frequent industry flyers arrived in style at the hotel’s Grand Ballroom for some refreshing cocktails and for the launch of the London issue of the magazine. The magazine’s managing director Irene Martel Francisco and editor Mia Borromeo welcomed guests, who indulged in the festive food stations that offered international cuisine and exquisitely catered delicacies created by Raffles and Fairmont’s skilled executive chefs.
An exciting mix of raffle prizes included five-star stays and chic travel essentials, like a golden South Sea pearl pendant from Jewelmer. It was a hugely successful evening celebrating all that makes luxury travel beautiful.
Congratulations for a successful event!
