1. Privacy and seclusion
Got balikbayans or relatives coming over this Christmas season but don't have enough space in your house to accomodate them? The Cirque provides a good option for families who need a private and secure place to base in the city. Or maybe you just need a place for a small barkada gathering?
The Cirque has a total of 55 units with three types of set-ups: one-bedroom flat (51 sqm), one-bedroom loft (64 sqm), and two-bedroom suite (69 sqm).
Compared to traditional hotels, The Cirque offers more space, convenience and privacy. Guests can opt for short-term or long-term stays in the fully-furnished serviced apartments with their own private cooking facilities, kitchenette, refrigerator, washing machine, spacious living and sleeping areas, while having access gyms, restaurants, meeting spaces, complimentary WiFi, free parking, concierges and other hotel-like services such as cleaning services.

2. It’s pet-friendly
The Cirque has very stylish and modern interiors created in collaboration between Kibu Design Concepts and K. Benitez Interiors. But beyond the aesthetics, the design concept aims to promote the well-being of guests and their pets. The Cirque is located within a pet-friendly community. This is one of the few serviced services where guests’ pets can share the staycation experience.
Special materials were used in the rooms to enhance the harmonious setting while remaining pet-friendly. All rooms make use of Ecocarat Japanese breathing tiles, which absorb humidity and odor, and Daiken textile walls that absorb humidity and sound, so that guests can enjoy their stay with the company of pets.
The materials absorb odor that usually comes from pets and controls noise within to the room to avoid disruption to neighboring guests. You can bring your pet on your staycation. Handout photo
