About this hotel

Travelers checking in for the skyline will find a dedicated sun terrace at lyf Malate Manila, providing a panoramic vantage point over the city. This elevated space is designed for guests to unwind, whether soaking up the morning sun or watching the urban landscape transition from day to night. Imagine starting the day with a coffee on the terrace, observing the city awaken, or gathering with a small group as the golden hour paints the sky. The ambiance shifts from a bright, airy retreat to a serene spot where the city lights begin to twinkle below. It's a place where the energy of Manila is always present, yet comfortably distant, making it perfect for those who appreciate a quiet moment above the bustling streets. The terrace offers an unobstructed view of the sprawling Metro Manila skyline.

Our take

This property suits travelers seeking a relaxed, elevated perspective of Manila's urban sprawl, particularly those who value a dedicated sun terrace for daytime lounging and evening city gazing. It's ideal for couples or small groups looking for a quiet spot to appreciate the skyline without the typical rooftop bar scene. Those expecting a lively, cocktail-focused rooftop experience might find it too subdued, as the focus here is on serene views and comfortable relaxation.

  • ✓Head to the sun terrace in the late afternoon to catch the golden hour light washing over the city's buildings.
  • ✓For a peaceful start, enjoy your morning coffee on the terrace before the city fully awakens.
  • ✓Consider a visit during the cooler months to fully appreciate the open-air terrace experience.

Why we love it

Why guests love it

Days on the sun terrace bookended a stay for two friends at lyf Malate Manila: morning coffee in the sunshine, then late evenings watching the city's lights spread across the urban sprawl. Breakfast with local specialities started each day well, and the fitness centre was a welcome extra. There is no bar or cocktail scene on the terrace, which kept it peaceful; those expecting a lively rooftop night would find it far too quiet.
