Our Detailed Review
Lanson Place Mall of Asia Manila represents the newest addition to Manila’s upscale hospitality landscape, offering contemporary accommodations within the bustling Mall of Asia complex. The property’s modern architecture and sleek design aesthetic reflect its positioning as an urban lifestyle hotel. Floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the building maximize natural light and provide sweeping views of Manila Bay and the city skyline.
The hotel’s location proves ideal for both leisure and business travelers, situated just 15 minutes from Ninoy Aquino International Airport and adjacent to one of Asia’s largest shopping complexes. The surrounding area offers immediate access to entertainment venues, corporate offices, and the Manila Bay waterfront promenade. Transportation options abound, with major thoroughfares and public transit routes easily accessible.
Guest rooms feature contemporary furnishings and modern amenities, though some details require attention. While the majority of accommodations offer impressive city or bay views, the absence of blackout curtains in select rooms may affect light-sensitive sleepers. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability is evident through eco-friendly toiletries, reducing plastic waste while maintaining guest convenience.
The hotel’s dining options, while limited in number, maintain high quality standards with fresh ingredients and attentive preparation. The signature restaurant serves an impressive breakfast buffet featuring both local and international cuisines, though the lounge menu could benefit from expanded selections. Room service operates 24/7, providing reliable if somewhat standard fare, with notably quick delivery times during off-peak hours.
Facilities include a well-equipped fitness center with modern cardio and weight training equipment, though the pool area truly stands out as a highlight. The infinity pool offers stunning views of Manila Bay, particularly impressive during sunset hours. While the hotel still shows signs of its recent opening through occasional service inconsistencies, the staff demonstrates genuine enthusiasm and willingness to address guest concerns promptly, suggesting positive development as operations mature.
The rooftop bar and lounge area deserves special mention for its panoramic views of Manila Bay and the city skyline, making it a popular spot for both hotel guests and locals during sunset hours. The carefully curated cocktail menu features local ingredients and creative presentations, though service can be slow during peak periods. The adjacent infinity pool provides a serene environment for relaxation, with comfortable loungers and attentive pool attendants.
