Glorietta is one of the most prominent shopping mall in country, situated at the heart of Ayala Center in Makati City, Philippines, the mall boasts more than 500 shops and restaurants, house in a 5 Story building covering 250,000 square meters of retail floor area.The mall is owned by the Zobel de Ayala family and its holding company, Ayala Corporation.
The mall is divided into five sections (named Glorietta 1–5) and contains many shops and restaurants, as well as cinema screens, a gym, arcades and a large central atrium often used to stage special events. It has an activity center, located at the heart of the mall. It is also integrated between Greenbelt Mall, SM Makati, Rustan's Makati and The Landmark, a department store. Ayala Center is planning to construct Glorietta 5, which will be located in front of Hotel Intercontinental Manila and beside Rustans Department Store, as part of the Ayala Land's plan of redeveloping Glorietta. Other prominent tenants includes Manila Shangri-La Hotel, Park Square 1, SM Makati, Oakwood Hotel and Suite among others.
What I like about this mall is its accessibility, it has a Metro Railway Transit Station attached to the mall making it considerably easy and favorable to visit compared to other malls where you have to walk few meters under a scourging heat to break in not to mention the SM North Edsa and the SM Mall of Asia among others.
Not only that the mall is famous as a shopping destination, it also took part in the history of the country booth involve in one a bloody bombing incident and politically motivated mutiny famously known as the Oakwood mutiny in 2003. Recent incident that made an international headline was on October 19, 2007 where an explosion in Glorietta 2 killed eleven people and injured a hundred others. Initially, authorities termed it a LPG explosion in a restaurant, but later began investigating the probability that the cause of the explosion was a C4 bomb. The explosion destroyed much of Glorietta 2's main lobby and vehicles parked outside.
Images above was the malls activity center, huge and spacious, inset right was the malls main lobby which serves as the main link to all divisions, this part over here is going south and connects to the Landmark Department store. This images where taken before the 2007 explosion and I believe there have been a lot of changes going around this place.
Images on top is the main internal entrance to Glorietta 3 and on the left is the lobby tailing down to the external entrance. If you are confuse about the malls division, I am rather and I even got lost roaming around this humongous mall, so bare with me on this hahaha. Okay, I'll try to explain this the best I could, the mall is divided into 5 parts, Glorietta 1-5 and each division has its own entrance, its own cinema, its own foodcourt and its own fun zone, still confused?
5 photo's below where all Glorietta 4's. First on the upper right is the Hallway, quite cozy actually if you are to compare this with other other parts, then upper left is the Food Zone that offers variety of delectable cuisine, Middle left was the Cinema (sorry the image was a mess, I was only using my old Nokia 6120 Classic), Middle Right was the lobby and not the car part, there was a promotion going on at that time so the ground part has cars displayed, then the lower photo which was Glorietta 4's own Timezone, actual location, cannot be describe, I told you I was lost already! c",
So theirs the Glorietta Mall, off you go if you are to visit Metro Manila and be lost in the realms of confusion, very much like this posts. haha!
