The Amenity Studio has ushered in a new chapter of intimate luxury experiences in Manila with the unveiling of The Suite Experience, an exclusive holiday showcase held at the Presidential Suite of Conrad Manila. The event marks the official introduction of the Hermès Hôtelier Collection in the Philippines, curated and distributed locally by The Amenity Studio.
Designed for tastemakers and discerning guests, The Suite Experience offered an immersive setting that highlighted Hermès’ iconic hotel amenities and fine fragrances, elevating the traditional hospitality showcase into a refined, suite-side luxury encounter.
Founded and led by entrepreneur Michelle Garcia-Arce, The Amenity Studio brings to the Philippine market a carefully curated portfolio of Hermès hotel amenities, including signature scents such as Eau d’Orange Verte, Un Jardin Sur Le Nil, and Eau de Citron Noir, alongside hotel-exclusive bath and body essentials crafted with the brand’s hallmark elegance.
Garcia-Arce’s venture is deeply rooted in her own hospitality background. Prior to leading Storytellers PR & Marketing, she began her career as a hotelier at a five-star Marriott property—an experience that shaped her understanding of luxury service, guest experience, and international hospitality standards.
“It feels like coming full circle,” Garcia-Arce said. “Having worked in a five-star hotel early in my career, it’s meaningful to re-enter the hospitality space by bringing the Hermès Hôtelier Collection to the Philippines through The Amenity Studio. Our goal is to make refined indulgence more accessible—whether through personal rituals, thoughtful gifting, or premium hotel partnerships.”
The showcase was staged in collaboration with Conrad Manila, whose Presidential Suite is being positioned as a venue for curated lifestyle experiences, private gatherings, and intimate events.
“Conrad Manila is delighted to collaborate with The Amenity Studio in creating an elevated suite-side showcase,” said Joanne Golong-Gomez, Commercial Director of Conrad Manila. “The event aligns with our vision of offering bespoke spaces where refined hospitality and meaningful moments come together.”
Spanning approximately 1,100 square meters, the Conrad Manila Presidential Suite served as the ideal backdrop for The Suite Experience. The suite features a master bedroom with walk-in closet and makeup area, a guest bedroom, private study, three luxurious bathrooms, a dining area, sculptural bar, and an expansive outdoor patio with a private infinity pool overlooking Manila Bay. Floor-to-ceiling windows, intelligent in-suite technology, and curated Filipino artworks—including pieces by Sam Penaso, Nestor Vinluan, Jonathan Olazo, and Alain Hablo—further enhanced the setting’s refined yet intimate atmosphere.
With The Suite Experience, The Amenity Studio reinforces its position at the intersection of luxury, hospitality, and thoughtful curation, setting the tone for future collaborations that bring elevated global brands into bespoke local experiences.
