Hotel like unit The Avant at the Fort Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Hotel like unit The Avant at the Fort, you immediately get that modern Manila vibe — sleek, polished, but not trying too hard to impress. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Fort Bonifacio Global City, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth considering. The lobby has this contemporary feel that screams “business district chic,” which makes sense given where you are.

Location & Neighborhood

Fort Bonifacio is basically Manila’s answer to a planned city district, and you know what? It actually works. You’re surrounded by shopping centers, international restaurant, and corporate offices — but in a good way, not the chaotic Manila traffic kind of way. Taguig has really transformed this area into something special, and couples seem to absolutely love it here (they rate the location 9.2, which is pretty impressive). The whole BGC area feels safer and more walkable than most parts of Metro Manila, which is honestly refreshing.

The Room Experience

The room setup here is interesting — it’s designed like a hotel unit but with more space than your typical Manila accommodation. You get that apartment-style layout without sacrificing the hotel service experience. The interiors lean modern and minimalist, which I actually appreciate after dealing with the sensory overload that can be Manila. Air conditioning works well (crucial in this climate), and the windows give you decent views of the surrounding BGC development. The space includes a well-equipped kitchenette for added convenience and flexibility during your stay.

Dining & Amenities

While there isn’t a full-scale restaurant on-site, you’re literally surrounded by dining options in BGC — from local Filipino spots to international chains and upscale establishments. The hotel provides basic amenities that cover what you need, though don’t expect extensive facilities like a spa or multiple dining venues. What they do offer is solid and functional, which honestly fits the business traveler vibe of the area perfectly. Guests appreciate the straightforward approach to service and comfort.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests consistently rate this place highly (8.4 overall, 9.3 for location), and after spending time in the area, I get it. You’re getting that sweet spot of being in modern, developed Manila without the usual headaches. Parking isn’t the nightmare it can be elsewhere in the metro, and you can actually walk to dinner or shopping without planning a major expedition. For couples especially, BGC offers that rare combination of urban energy and relative tranquility that’s hard to find in Metro Manila. The Avant delivers exactly what it promises — a comfortable, well-located base for exploring one of the Philippines’ most successfully planned districts. The property stands out for its thoughtful design and strategic positioning in the heart of the city’s business and lifestyle hub.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Manila through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best districts for experiencing the city’s metropolitan atmosphere and colonial heritage.

Reviews of Hotel like unit The Avant at the Fort

  We liked the location and the room, it has all the amenities needed
  
  What could be improved: We didn’t like the host. We didn’t receive any response from the booking, we arrived after a long trip with the guard that didn’t know nothing about our arrival. Zero communication

• Perfect location, nice view – Andrej from Slovakia – February 15, 2025 (9/10)

  Perfect location, nice view to surrounding area despite it is just on the 6th floor, comfortable bed, wifi is stable. The building is nice. Easy self checking. Complimentary 2 bottles of water.

• Location is a PLUS! – Jogi from United Arab Emirates – December 9, 2023 (9/10)

  I had a pleasant stay at this place, conveniently located within walking distance to Burgos Circle. The apartment matched its description perfectly—comfy bed, tidy, and a spacious studio unit. The check-in and check-out processes were quick and hassle-free.
  
  What could be improved: While the stay was comfortable and matched the description, a few touches could elevate the experience. Upgrading to more premium towels and providing complimentary bottled water would be beneficial additions to consider.

• Wonderful – Darragh from Ireland – November 26, 2023 (9/10)

  The location is brilliant! Kristine is a fantastic host, very accommodating. Little touches in the room made a big difference and complimentary 2 bottles of water and a packet of dried mango – such a nice gesture. Comfy bed and pillows. Nice hot shower and aircon is very good.
  We appreciate the fact that they allow us to do late check out without any fee, unlike other places. We will definitely come back and stay here and we highly recommend this place. 👌
  
  What could be improved: I wish there were sockets by the bed instead of charging your electrical stuff by the sink.
  
  Elevators are quite slow, and the steps at the main entrance are slippy when wet – be careful when it's raining.
