Joya Lofts and Towers - Another Luxury Hotel Manila Alternative

If you're looking for an alternative to the standards of luxury hotels in Manila such as the Peninsula Manila or the Shangri-La Manila, you can look at the Joya Towers and Lofts in Rockwell as an almost equal alternative to the luxury hotel experience that the Shangri-La or Peninsula provides.

The Joya Towers and Lofts are a pair of luxury condominium towers rising above Rockwell Center, a private community located in the north of Makati, just south of the Pasig River and Mandaluyong. Rockwell Center is centrally located within Metro Manila, providing easy access to EDSA, the airport, and the Ortigas Business District.

Within Rockwell Center are several luxury condominiums which have become alternatives to luxury hotels in Manila. The Joya Towers and Lofts were opened in 2007 and provides condominiums for purchase as well as condominiums for short and long stays.

You can rent a studio, 1, or 2 bedroom condominium for the same price as you would for a regular room at the Shangri-La Manila. The rooms are nicely appointed, with modern furniture, internet, cable TV, and a kitchen to allow you to blend the luxury of a hotel room room with the comfort of an apartment.

The Joya Lofts and Towers has a large pooldeck on the 7th floor with a walkway connecting the North and South Towers. The gym is on the 3rd floor of the North tower and features weights and many forms of aerobic equipment, including a pair of Concept2 Rowing Machines. Yoga classes are offered in the studio and a personal trainer is available if you need one.

The best part about staying at the Joya Lofts and Towers instead of a luxury hotel in Manila is the Power Plant mall across the street. Within this mall are shops, restaurants, and cafes to pass the time as slowly or as quickly as you like. Cantinetta is a great Italian restaurant owned by a real Italian in Rockwell. Sango makes a unique Japanese style burger. C2 offers a fresh, modern take on classical Filipino cuisine on the 2nd floor of the Power Plant Mall. These are just a fraction of the dining options available there.

So, if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a stay at the Shangri-La or Manila Peninsula, then you should consider the Joya Lofts and Towers in Rockwell for your next stay in Makati.
