Our Room

We recently had the pleasure of staying in the One-Bedroom Lanson Suite at Lanson Place Mall of Asia. While a direct Manila Bay view wasn’t part of the experience, the suite’s spacious layout more than made up for it. Separate living and bedroom areas provided a tranquil escape, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring the city. The calming natural tones and stylish furnishings created a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere. Large windows bathed the space in natural light, offering a view of the bustling Palm Coast Ave and the nearby MOA Concert Grounds.

The suite itself was a haven of thoughtful amenities. A personal Nespresso machine with complimentary coffee pods meant we could start each morning with a fresh cup of coffee. Luxurious APPELLES green collection toiletries, infused with natural ingredients and delightful scents, elevated our bathroom experience. The reliable high-speed Wi-Fi connection made working remotely a breeze, ensuring uninterrupted productivity with clear video calls and lag-free file sharing. A well-stocked minibar offered convenient refreshment options, while a relaxing bathtub provided a perfect way to soak away the day’s stresses.

These were just a few of the many amenities that made our stay at Lanson Place Mall of Asia so enjoyable. Every room includes an in-room safe for valuables, a TV with cable channels for entertainment, and an iron and ironing board to keep clothes wrinkle-free. A luggage rack made unpacking and repacking a breeze, all thoughtful touches that allowed us to truly feel at home in our spacious suite.

The one-bedroom Lanson Suite is the biggest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in – it’s like having your own whole apartment! While it doesn’t have a bay view, the room is super quiet and peaceful. Plus, the bed is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept on, guaranteeing a restful night’s sleep and ensuring you’re well-rested for your adventures in Manila.
