(SPOT.ph) Manila's Entertainment City is home to luxury hotels with casinos, but few offer convenience and comfort without the noise that comes with play. Enter Seda Manila Bay, the hotel chain's newest branch in the Philippines that only opened last August 2023.

Seda Manila Bay is the epitome of what the South is to the North—modern, thriving, and accessible—befitting a hotel at the tail end of Metro Manila. It’s a smart choice for those looking to explore the vibrant south or needing a comfortable stopover near some of the biggest transport hubs in the country, being only 10 minutes from the Parañaque Integrated Terminal Exchange (PITX) and 15 minutes from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

Everything you need to know about Seda Manila Bay

There are 350 guestrooms and suites at Seda Manila Bay, each offering a unique blend of leisure and business amenities, making the hotel a great option for vacationing families and business travelers.

The Deluxe Room (P8,478) is best for transient solo travelers, while the Premier Room (P10,833) is best for couples who would appreciate separate vanity sinks and a bathtub. The Family Room (P14,954) can comfortably fit two adults and two kids; it has a master bedroom, a separate living room, and kids’ room with a bunk bed.

If you have a bigger budget, you might want to consider the Club Room (P9,900), which is essentially a more extra Deluxe Room, offering additional privileges like express check-in and check-out, a complimentary buffet breakfast, all-day refreshments and cocktails, a private meeting room, an iMac station, and extra-personalized service from the staff. 

The room we had was the Deluxe Room with twin beds, a chaise lounge, and a multi-purpose table. The view from our room was not of the Manila Bay but it has a great view of the pool (and many, many buildings).

What to do at Seda Manila Bay

You’ll find a host of activities to get into at the 5th floor.

Seda Manila Bay stands out among nearby hotels with its unique amenities. In addition to the expected restaurant, swimming pool, pool bar, and business lounge, Seda Manila Bay boasts a playroom, a game room, and a mini golf course.

The mini golf course at the courtyard is Seda’s first, while the game room caters to every kind of gaming interest—arcade games like air hockey and foosball, computer games, and even console games like Xbox and PS5. You’ll have to leave a valid ID with the hotel room number at the reception desk to borrow some consoles. Game lovers can easily spend a whole afternoon in this area.

The infinity pool is expansive, covering almost the entire 5th floor. It also has a sprawling water playground with pool fountains for kids and kids-at-heart. You can lounge by the poolside, enjoy the water features, or swim laps in the quieter parts of the pool.  

The pool bar is right in the middle of the pool. It's a great spot to watch the sun set with a cocktail in hand. Do note that it’s only open for drinks on weekends.

Meanwhile, the gym has over 20 professional equipment for a complete workout session. From cardio machines to free weights, it is well-equipped to cater to a variety of fitness needs.

Of course, what’s a hotel stay without a relaxing spa experience? Seda Spa has private massage rooms with a starting rate of P1,500, but you can also opt to have it in your hotel room upon request. Spa services are open from 12 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Right beside Seda Manila Bay is Ayala Malls Manila Bay, the largest Ayala Malls property to date. We’re not just talking about doing some window shopping here. Ayala Malls Manila Bay is home to various activities for both young and old, like Instagram playground Lakbay Museo, arts and crafts center Craft Academy, and indoor skating rink Roller Fever.

That’s just one building. If you step out further you can find the rest of PAGCOR’s Entertainment City, where Solaire, City of Dreams, and Okada are located.

What to eat and drink at Seda Manila Bay

At Seda’s signature restaurant, Misto, one can find international and local favorites. Ongoing until April 28 is the Weekend Lunch Buffet at P1,400 and a 10+1 offer where a birthday celebrant can enjoy the buffet for free when dining with 10 other full paying adults during his/her/their birth month.

Meanwhile, Seda’s exclusive rooftop bar, Straight Up, provides guests with panoramic views of the city, with Manila Bay at a distance. You can choose to sit at the main lounge or at the al fresco setting. Straight Up is open until midnight.
