The Ascott Limited is about to revolutionize the hospitality industry with the announcement of the first lyf property in the Philippines, – lyf Malate, Manila. The company’s latest addition to its impressive accolades aims to provide modern co-living spaces with community-centric activities to all Filipino digital nomads, technopreneurs, creatives, and self-starters.
lyf Malate is designed to cater to the new generation of travelers by offering an environment where guests can meet like-minded people to bond with. From the uber private One of a Kind (Studio), duo-friendly Side by Side (Twin), and the All Together (Two-bedroom and Four-bedroom) apartment units, guests are free to choose how to cap off their day.
As work-from-home setups slowly continue to rise in the country, so do Filipinos who value the essence of an excellent work-life balance. Luckily, lyf treats its guests with a wide range of amenities that cater to everyone, regardless of the status of their social battery.
For extroverts who want to dwell in a mix of both work and socials, lyf’s Connect (Coworking Space and Communal Lounge) offers an experience that’ll make guests say goodbye to cramped coffee shops forever. These spaces are equipped with high-speed internet, comfortable chairs, and not to mention, plenty of power outlets to ensure everyone can work with the utmost efficiency.
On the other side of the spectrum, introverts who prefer solace can indulge in the peacefulness of lyf’s Nook (Private working space), where they can focus on getting things done without worrying about any distractions from the outside world.
Armed with their favorite recipes and ingredients, guests can cook up amazing dishes and swap culinary tips and tricks in the Bond social kitchen. If things get messy, the Wash and Hang (Social Launderette) is equipped and ready to fix any dirty clothing mishaps.
Following a long tiring day of work, guests can let loose and share a drink or two while taking in the stunning views of the city at lyf’s Unwind (Rooftop Clubhouse). Health buffs can also catch up with their workout schedule with lyf’s 24-hour fully-equipped Burn (Social Gym).
As part of lyf’s initiative to enliven every guest’s experience, the lyf Crew consisting of lyf Champion (Residence Manager), lyf Guards (Multitaskers), and Ambassadors of Buzz (Community Manager), is always available to provide tips, advice on how to get around the city better, or even just simply stick around for company.
The new lyf property showcases an overall vibrant and zestful design that complements the sense of community the property aims to exude to its guests. Combined with the strategic location in the city’s heart, guests can easily experience the culture of Manila without straying too far from the comfort of lyf.
“We are thrilled to be opening our first lyf property in the Philippines,” said Philip Barnes, Ascott’s Country General Manager. “With the rise of digital nomads and remote working opportunities, we believe that lyf Malate Manila will provide the perfect environment for travelers to work, live and play, while also fostering a sense of community.”
lyf Malate Manila is set to begin taking in guests in June 2023 and with another lyf opening in Cebu soon, The Ascott Limited is confident that these expansions will usher in a new era of hospitality in the Philippines.
