Torre de Manila Unit 1720 Taft Avenue Manila Unit 1720 Overview

You know what struck me first about Torre de Manila Unit 1720 Taft Avenue Manila Unit 1720? The view from that 17th floor – honestly, you get this sweeping panorama of Manila that makes the urban chaos below look almost beautiful. I mean, Taft Avenue can be pretty hectic during rush hour, but from up there, it’s just these ribbons of light snaking through the city.

The unit itself feels more like staying in someone’s actual apartment than a typical hotel room, which is exactly what it is – it’s a four-star condo setup that works surprisingly well for travelers who want space to spread out. The kitchen is fully equipped (I actually cooked a couple meals there using ingredients from the Robinson’s Place nearby), and the living area has this comfortable, lived-in feeling that I really appreciated after spending weeks in sterile hotel rooms. The bedroom’s got a proper king bed, and the air conditioning – crucial in Manila’s humidity – runs quietly enough that street noise from Taft doesn’t really bother you. Though honestly, if you’re a super light sleeper, pack earplugs anyway because this is still the heart of Ermita.

What I love about this location is how it puts you right in the thick of things without being touristy. You’re walking distance from Rizal Park and the National Museum, but you’re also close to where actual Manileños live and work. There’s this excellent local restaurant called Aristocrat just a few blocks down that serves the kind of Filipino comfort food you won’t find in hotel restaurants, and the LRT station is close enough that you can easily hop over to Makati or other parts of the metro. The building itself has decent security – you’ll need to sign in visitors, which felt reassuring – and the elevators are reasonably fast, though they can get crowded during peak hours. Parking can be a bit tricky if you’re renting a car, but honestly, in this part of Manila, you’re better off using Grab or public transport anyway. The whole experience feels authentic in a way that big chain hotels sometimes miss – you’re staying where locals actually live, dealing with the same daily rhythms of the city, but with the comfort level and amenities that make it genuinely enjoyable rather than just an adventure in urban survival.
