Lanson Place Mall of Asia: Luxury Living in the Heart of the City

Chances are, you have already heard of the Mall of Asia—the largest mall in Manila, Philippines and a must-visit destination! As one of the largest malls in Asia as well, a day is not enough to explore all the shops, dining, and tourist attractions there. If you are planning to stay close by, consider Lanson Place Mall of Asia—just steps away from the mall itself.  Not only will you get to relax in luxe and comfort, but also get to enjoy beautiful views of Manila Bay and the bustling MOA Complex right from your hotel suite! In this article, we will take you through everything we loved about our stay at Lanson Place Mall of Asia. Ready to discover what makes this the perfect home away from home? Read on!

1. Be close to one of the biggest malls in Asia 

True to its name, Mall of Asia is definitely one of the most popular shopping malls across Asia. All the coolest attractions, dining spots, and shops can all be found here. But that is not all, when you book a stay at Lanson Place Mall of Asia, you will also be within walking distance of some of Manila’s top venues. Planning to catch a late-night concert at the MOA Arena? Or attend an international expo at the SMX Convention Center? Staying at Lanson Place ensures you are right where the action happens. Even the Manila International Airport is just a short drive away!

Lanson Place Mall of Asia also offers easy access to another must-visit spot in Manila: SM by the Bay. From here, you can take in the dazzling rides at the Mall of Asia Amusement Park—including the iconic MOA Eye—or unwind with the vibrant nightlife along Manila Bay. If you are lucky or staying at the hotel over the weekend, you might even catch a spectacular fireworks display lighting up the seaside sky! Do take note of the schedule for the annual Philippines International Pyromusical Show since the seaside boulevard is the best place to witness it all.

For the best experience, we recommend booking a suite with a Bay view. That way, you will have front-row seats to the fireworks shows right from the comfort of your hotel suite.

2. Relax in your very own suite

When it comes to hotel suites with stunning Bay views, the Two Bedroom Panorama Suite at Lanson Place is the clear winner. This is the perfect hotel suite for families visiting, offering the perfect blend of comfort and functionality. 

The suite features two elegant, contemporary bedrooms connected to a generous living area, a well-equipped kitchenette (with a Nespresso too!), two bathrooms, and a dining room—essentially creating a home away from home for small families. After a day of exploring, sink into the cosy sofa to stream your favourite movies or shows with the suite’s high-speed Wi-Fi. Or perhaps, go for a relaxing soak in one of the bathtubs. Perfect for unwinding after a long day at the mall!

And of course, the true star of this hotel suite is the view. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the bay view rooms – whether you are waking up to a golden sunrise or falling asleep under a blanket of city lights. At night, the best spot is the balcony! Step out to soak up the spectacular views even further. 

3. Be treated to endless food options during breakfast, lunch, and dinner buffets

Luxurious comfort aside, what ultimately made our stay at Lanson Place Mall of Asia memorable was the food. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, we were treated to the most delicious buffet offerings. We had our meals from CYAN Modern Kitchen, an all-day dining restaurant that offers modern interpretations of traditional international favourites made with fresh, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. Breakfast was a particular highlight—we simply could not get enough of their freshly baked pastries! They also served nice juice mixes with unique names, which was a mystery before every first sip. 

The best part? You get to enjoy your hotel buffet experience while looking out over Manila Bay – a win-win for all! 

If not a fan of buffet setups, CYAN Modern Kitchen also has ala carte options for both lunch and dinner. They also have a selection of cocktails and wines for some well-deserved post-dinner treat! 

4. World-class service that showcases the best of Filipinos 

Another highlight from Lanson Place Mall of Asia is how their service is truly Filipino. With a family-like approach, the team creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, fostering a sense of community that feels both personal and welcoming. A simple “Mabuhay!” from every staff we encountered made our entire experience memorable. We also loved how they were attentive and were always ready to assist us with our needs. Thank you as well for welcoming us with the most delicious pastries as soon as we arrived. Really made us start our stay off a good note!

Additionally, the check-in process was very smooth. As we waited for our room in the cosy and inviting Residents’ Lounge (oh, you can also have your breakfast here for a more serene experience!), we were treated to delightful welcome drinks—a thoughtful gesture that made us feel immediately at home.

5. Take a break and unwind by the Infinity Pool 

What better way to make the most of your bayfront stay at Lanson Place Mall of Asia than to swim in an infinity pool that offers unparalleled views? From the edge of this stunning pool, you can take in the sweeping sight of Manila Bay, its waters shimmering under the golden light of sunset.

For those simply wanting to chill, go to the Edge Pool Bar. Here, you can unwind with a signature cocktail in hand and indulge in a variety of comforting snacks. All the while, let the cool breeze from Manila Bay and captivating sunset views elevate your experience to one of ultimate relaxation. Really perfect for unwinding after a long day! 

6. Unwind with drinks at BLK12 Cafe|Bar or Madeleine High Tea

If we are talking about drinks, you can also consider BLK12 Café | Bar on the ground floor or at Madeleine High Tea near the hotel ballroom. You can have your usual coffee and tea from both places throughout the day, perfect for quality bonding times with your loved ones.

Later in the day, elevate your experience with an exquisite afternoon tea session at Madeleine High Tea, featuring a delightful selection of pastries and cakes to complement your tea. Or, for something more indulgent, head to BLK12 Cafe|Bar for a chilled-out wine-tasting experience that adds a sophisticated touch to your stay at Lanson Place Mall of Asia.

7. Break some sweat at the Fitness Centre

After all the buffets, you may still proceed with your usual workout routine at Lanson Place Mall of Asia. It is open 24 hours too! And whether your goal is to build strength, improve flexibility, or boost your overall fitness, the gym is equipped with state-of-the-art machines to support your journey. Another great thing is the huge windows at the gym, so once you hop on a treadmill, you will get to see the best bayside views as you walk or run.

We also appreciate how they have friendly and knowledgeable instructors who are always available to recommend the best equipment setup or workout routine tailored to your fitness needs. They even offer a towel after your workout to ensure you have a pleasant experience!

8. Indulge on endless play at the Kids’ Corner

Meanwhile, families visiting Lanson Place Mall of Asia can enjoy another highlight – the Kids’ Corner! This kiddie area offers a lively and safe space filled with a variety of indoor activities and games for children aged 3 to 10 years old. Whether they are watching movies, discovering a new favourite video game, or challenging a new friend to a classic board game, the Kids’ Corner ensures fun and excitement for little ones while parents can enjoy some well-deserved relaxation.

9. A premier spot for weddings in the Metro

Now, considering Lanson Place Mall of Asia’s prime location in the Metro, we must say that it is a great place to celebrate weddings and other milestone celebrations. The hotel’s stunning Saffron Grand Ballroom is perfect for larger gatherings, accommodating up to 370 guests with ease. This pillarless ballroom, located within its own private event floor, exudes elegance and grandeur. Guests are even greeted by a dedicated lobby with a grand staircase, plus there is also an exquisite bridal suite perfect for your pre-wedding preps.

For those envisioning an intimate outdoor wedding ceremony, The Courtyard provides a charming and scenic alternative. After the vows, the celebration can continue in the hotel’s smaller meeting rooms, perfect for cozy receptions or private gatherings.
