In line with the recent launch of Pan Pacific’s newly renovated guestrooms, the return of Master Butler Fitzharris is considered as a perfect chance for the hotel to refresh and further improve their Butler concept and service.  The Butler Education will ensure that Pan Pacific will maintain the status as the only luxurious hotel in the world made up entirely of professional Butlers that provide the best extra ordinary experience for their guests.




According to Richard Masselin, General Manager of Pan Pacific Manila, their butlers will undergo a one week tailored program under Master Butler Fitzharris to help them re-develop their skills to keep abreast with the hotel’s standards based on the changing needs of each unique guest.

During the conference, Master Butler Fitzharris said that he intends to seek the most promising Butler in Manila to be a Butler Ambassador, so that he may hand over the baton of responsibility to continue his work.  Symbol of this honor is his personal pocket clock which he will give to whoever will be chosen to carry the responsibility as well as the title.



Pan Pacific’s Butlers showed us a bit of their skills during the luncheon.  Foods that were prepared and served were lovely but the highlight of the luncheon was when the butlers served us our teas in synchronized succession.

The modern elegance and comfort of Pan Pacific’s newly renovated room and the excellent unique hotel experience that their butlers can provide are just few of the reasons why Pan Pacific Manila is one of the best hotels in the Philippines. Definitely one of our country’s prides.
