The marble bathroom features a rain shower and separate bathtub, with complimentary luxury amenities by Le Labo. Boasting all the amenities of the Fairmont Room, Deluxe Rooms are superbly located – choose from a room with a view over the serene pool area or a Deluxe Corner Room with a phenomenal view over Makati.
