LYF Malate Manila, the first lyf property under The Ascott Limited in the Philippines, offers the new generation of travelers a distinct and unparalleled experience unbeknownst to the typical expectation that comes with traditional accommodations.
With the leadership of lyf champion Joyce Pascual-Agsaway, the property is poised to revolutionize the concept of connection, work, and fostering a supportive community, all within a single space.
“Our vision at lyf Malate Manila is to challenge the norm of what an accommodation should be and provide a transformative experience for all of our guests,” said Pascual-Agsaway.
“We truly believe travel and accommodation should be so much more. It should be an opportunity for personal growth, connections, and self-discovery,” she added. “By embracing unconventional ideas, we aim to empower our guests to experience the new era of hospitality.”
The property dares to be different by evolving with the times and embracing the spirit of community, and the property caters to a diverse lineup of guests.
It recognizes that the current generation of professionals seeks more than just a place to catch some shuteye; they crave a community-driven and enriching environment that offers a sanctuary for collaboration, inspiration, and growth.

The property’s connect (coworking space and communal lounge) and nook (private working spaces) provide a space for the minds from different industries to share experiences and build connections in a captivating atmosphere that sparks creativity.
Part of its appeal is its mesmerizing interior that perfectly complements the needs of its guests. Each space has been carefully curated to create an environment that is not only visually appealing but also highly functional to empower its guests to work more productively.
Aside from the amenities catered for productivity, the property goes above and beyond by offering areas that can host events designed to foster collaboration, learning, and meaningful connections to broaden their horizon in the industry.
It is also an ideal location to build community while staying on top of things outside work is lyf’s burn (social gym) and hang out (rooftop).
