Living by Manila Bay

Whether you are staying for a night, a few days or weeks, a month or even longer, there is a new serviced residence in the heart of Pasay City to take care of your accommodation needs, and more.

Manila once again welcomes a prestigious property by The Ascott Limited as it opened recently the Citadines Bay City Manila, a vibrant serviced residence at the corner of Diosdado Macapagal Avenue and Coral Way. It is Ascott’s third Citadines property in the Philippines.

“I’m glad to announce that Citadines Bay City Manila is part of our 95,000 units in 634 properties across 167 cities in 32 countries operated by The Ascott Limited, and our brands comprise of the Ascott, Citadines, Somerset, Quest, The Crest Collection, lyf and the recently acquired Tauzia portfolio of hotel brand,” said Daniel Wee, country general manager of The Ascott Limited Philippines, during the soft opening.

“We are particularly excited about this new property. As most of you know, Ascott has been in the country for almost 20 years, but Citadines Bay City is the first property located in the Bay area near the historical heart of the country,” said Wee.

EACH cozy unit affords guests a beautiful view of the city.

Lifestyle by the Bay

Located near the metro’s newest entertainment and leisure destinations, Citadines Bay City Manila is surrounded by world-class theaters, casinos and amusement parks. It is only a short drive from Ninoy Aquino International Airport, minutes away from entertainment hubs such as Dream Play and Mall of Asia Arena, a stone’s throw from the sprawling SM Mall of Asia and also near convention sites such as SMX, World Trade Center and Philippine International Convention Center.

“The property is strategically located in the bay city complex where most of the businesses are,” said Rennan John Reyes, Citadines Bay City Manila residence manager. “There are entertainment spots such as casinos, and we are near the Mall of Asia — it’s something that guests and tourists would love to be near when staying in a hotel or choosing a property.”

Everything you need is within reach. Step outside and follow your whims — shop, watch a concert or a movie, try your luck at the casino, or simply watch the beautiful sunset at Manila Bay.

“To summarize, whatever you find in a hotel, we have them here,” said Wee. “And certain things you find here, you can’t find in a hotel, such as a washer, kitchenette. You can’t cook in a hotel,” he added.

“We always say that in our serviced residence, you get the services of a hotel and the comforts of a home,” added Reyes.
