Since opening its doors in 2014, The Palace has been redefining the Manila clubbing scene with some of the city’s most ambitious establishments. Its newest addition is the ultra-luxury lounge Revel, which caters to a more discerning clientele accustomed to the highest standards.

Revel is a more polished and exclusive version of its predecessors, an intimate venue where people can talk and socialise with ease—no blaring music here. The club boasts 22 couches on its ground floor and 15 at the mezzanine, each with its own unique character. There are couches that overlook The Pool Club, and there are others located in more secluded areas. The icing on the cake is the VVIP table perched on top of the DJ Booth—perfect for club-goers who love the prestige of being at the most exclusive table and space in the establishment.
