Welcome to lyf Malate Manila, where the traditional hotel experience takes a backseat to a new, dynamic approach to living. Nestled in the vibrant heart of Malate, this co-living space is the first of its kind in the Philippines under The Ascott Limited. It’s not just about finding a place to stay but discovering a community that feels like home.

Led by the energetic lyf Champion, Joyce Pascual-Agsaway, lyf Malate Manila is designed for the modern traveler. Picture this: a space where digital nomads, self-starters, and creatives come together in a supportive, collaborative environment. Here, every guest is greeted with a smile, and common areas buzz with a sense of belonging.

lyf Malate Manila is all about innovation and sustainability. The property’s Connect (Coworking Space and Communal Lounge) and Nook (Private Working Spaces) are perfect for sparking creativity and building connections. And when it's time to unwind, head to the Burn (Social Gym) or Hang Out (Rooftop) to relax and recharge.

The interiors are a delightful blend of style and functionality, making it easy for guests to feel comfortable and productive. With spaces designed to host events that foster learning and collaboration, you'll find plenty of opportunities to grow personally and professionally.

And while lyf Malate Manila doesn't have a restaurant on-site, don't fret! It's conveniently located near Manila's Korea Town. Just ask one of the friendly 'lyf guards' for a recommendation.

The Ascott Limited, a Singapore company, seamlessly integrates lyf's innovative co-living concept into its diverse portfolio, spanning over 220 cities across more than 40 countries. As one of the leading international lodging owner-operators, Ascott offers a range of serviced apartments and co-living spaces under various brands, including lyf, Citadines, and Somerset.
