Picture this: a refreshing cocktail in one hand, pica pica thoughtfully curated by chef Chele Gonzales in the other, the city skyline spread out before you, and a chic, well-designed space that sets the tone for an unforgettable night.

This is Aire 32, The Westin Manila's newly opened alfresco rooftop bar.

Perched 32 floors above Ortigas, Aire 32 officially opened on Aug. 15, 2025, The stylish venue serves up sweeping skyline views and a curated menu of drinks and specialty cocktails, all designed with sustainability and wellbeing in mind.

"Pronounced as ai-re—meaning air in Spanish—it is an extension of our existing Spanish restaurant," said Alexander Dietzsch, general manager of The Westin Manila. "This space is designed for social experiences rooted in conscious connection and balance. Every drink is a toast to life, a celebration of family and friends, complemented by relaxing views and comfort food."

The rooftop spot is envisioned as a venue for life's milestones, whether intimate weddings, private parties, or special gatherings. It can host up to 75 guests, with another 20 in the private dining area. The elegant bar, with its textured finishes and curved forms, is a design statement on its own.
