THE GRAND HYATT MANILA OF BONIFACIO GLOBAL CITY (BGC)

 Location:  BGC, Global City, Taguig City, Metropolitan Manila, Philippines

The imposing Grand Hyatt Manila

The Grand Hyatt Manila is a 5-star luxury hotel located at 8th Avenue corner 35th Street in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), Taguig.  It occupies the top floors of the 318-meter-tall Metrobank Center where it features 461 rooms and suites, a heated outdoor pool, the 24/7 Illume Spa, and upscale dining spots like The Peak.

The lush garden view of the hotel

The hotel features an integrated indoor-outdoor green space centered around its signature Garden Pavilion and pool area rather than expansive ground-level botanical gardens with an are of 597 square meters with an architectural venue constructed from glass and wood, designed to blend natural outdoor views with full air conditioning.  And to top it all, it has floor-to-ceiling transparency, natural light, and a surrounding decorated archway and manicured greenery utilized for intimate ceremonies and social gatherings.

A state-of-the-art swimming pool

Its swimming pool located on the 6th floor podium is a 25-meter heated outdoor lap pool with a separate unheated children's pool.   It is also equipped with a heated bubbling jacuzzi/whirlpool.  It opens daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM (or 8:00 PM depending on specific seasonal advisories) with free access for registered hotel guests.

Enjoying an evening swim at the hotel

The pool area is framed by modern BGC skyscrapers and lush landscaping, designed to have stone paving, comfortable lounge chairs with umbrellas, and thatched-roof cabanas.  Guests can access the poolside bar for refreshments, alongside nearby wellness facilities including the 24-hour fitness center and Illume Spa which offers saunas, steam rooms, and additional jacuzzis.

The spacious Garden Pavilion is really ideal for corporate gatherings, where guests can utilize its scenic spaces for product launches, networking cocktails or executive reception.

Relaxing morning at the poolside

The Pool House offers a relaxing al fresco and indoor/outdoor seating directly beside the hotel's heated outdoor pool, featuring views of the BGC skyline and a dedicated grill/barbecue area.  It serves to guests international and Asian fusion dishes, wood-fired pizzas, gourmet burgers, fresh seafood, grilled meats and steaks, and signature items like Laksa and Nasi Goreng, alongside cocktails and tropical drinks.

Just after an evening swim

Bringing workload before sleeping in my hotel room

After buffet dinner and an evening swim, I went to my hotel room to work for at least two hours.   After that, my friends and I decided to go out for a stroll.

A stroll at the nearby Uptown Mall

It only takes 5 minutes to walk from the hotel to the Uptown mall - an upscale, modern lifestyle center developed and managed by Megaworld Lifestyle Malls.  The mall features a design and vibe which is glossy, chic, and relatively spacious with an upscale urban atmosphere.

The Dancing Fountain at the Uptown Mall

The mall is also equipped with a multi-auditorium complex featuring Ultra Cinema (with La-Z-Boy recliners), Tempur Cinema, and the Boozy Bar.  It also has an open-air oasis on the 4th level that houses al fresco dining options and the St. Gabriel the Archangel Chapel. Its Dancing Fountain on its facade is complete with lights and pyrotechnic displays.  Furthermore, the mall has around 150 tenants, including global fashion brands, specialty lifestyle stores, supermarkets (The Marketplace, Rustan's Supermarket), and a diverse mix of casual-to-gourmet restaurants.

Beyond the Uptown Mall

Nightlife in BGC is just endless with a number of options to go and roam around.  So good for the family and groups to enjoy this beautiful place.

The Grand Hyatt Manila is just one of the 5-star hotels in Metropolitan Manila.  If you want to know more about the 16 cities and 1 municipality of the Metropolis Manila, then, you may click this The Modern and Tech-Rich Metropolitan Manila.
