Sky Tower: A New Standard of Opulence
My recent stay at the Sky Tower’s Sky Studio, a sprawling 65 sqm suite, was nothing short of magnificent. Upon entering, I was immediately enveloped by the seamless blend of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. The room is bathed in natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows, offering an enchanting view of the Manila Bay sunset, which perfectly complemented the luxurious interior.
The room itself was a haven of comfort. The plush king-sized bed, draped in 500-thread count linens, promised—and delivered—a night of blissful sleep. The 55-inch LED satellite TV, offering a wide array of international and local channels, was perfect for a cozy night in. The spacious work area and high-speed internet allowed me to stay productive while enjoying the ultimate comfort. What stood out for us was the bathroom—it’s a personal spa on its own. With a separate rain shower and bathtub, complemented by luxury bath amenities, every moment spent in there was sheer indulgence. A spacious walk-in wardrobe and the convenience of in-room coffee- and tea-making facilities rounded off the experience, making the Sky Studio an ideal sanctuary for both work and relaxation.
Breakfast at Fresh Restaurant is a truly indulgent affair, offering a gourmet experience that transports you across a world of flavors. Each morning, the restaurant comes alive with a dazzling array of international dishes crafted by expert chefs, turning your first meal of the day into a culinary adventure. The breakfast buffet offers an abundance of options, from freshly baked pastries and artisanal bread to perfectly cooked eggs and fresh, seasonal fruits. For those craving heartier fare, the rotisserie station provides mouth-watering carvings, while the seafood selection showcases the finest delicacies of the ocean, ensuring that every guest finds something to savor. Ending on a sweet note is a must, as the decadent dessert bar tempts with pastries, cakes, and an assortment of treats that guarantee a satisfying start to your day.

Bay Tower: Timeless Elegance Meets Modern Luxury
While the Sky Tower offers supreme opulence, the Bay Tower is equally impressive, bringing in its own brand of refined luxury. Each room in the Bay Tower has been thoughtfully designed, with furnishings sourced from around the world. My visit to the Premier Suite, which spans up to 94 sqm, provided a tranquil retreat amidst the bustling energy of the city. The room’s expansive windows showcase the magnificent Manila skyline and the famed Manila Bay sunset, providing a serene backdrop to the suite’s luxurious amenities.
Located on the third floor of the Bay Tower is the resort’s Gym and Spa, where We indulged in a world-class spa treatment. The Spa offers an array of rejuvenating therapies, and my experience was truly transformative. We opted for the signature massage, which left me feeling completely revitalized. The tranquil ambiance, expert therapists, and premium products used made for a perfect escape from reality.

Red Lantern, the Chinese restaurant, was another highlight. The Peking Duck, perfectly roasted with crispy skin and tender meat, was a standout dish.
