Book Strategically: Where to Stay in Baguio
When I was in college, I
was tasked to look for the venue for our awarding ceremony. I found myself
comparing the halls of different hotels in Baguio to ensure that the
participants to the ceremony get the value of their admission fee.
I ended up closing a deal
with Hotel Supreme along Magsaysay Road. At first, there was some misunderstanding
because the hall I reserved was given to another group but because I talked to
their manager, I was given an option.
At times, my friends from
Manila ask me where they can stay in Baguio. I recall the places I have been to
and give them my best recommendation based on their preferred location.

Hotel
Supreme for Vacations with Seminars
Located along Magsaysay
Road which is meters away from Stobosa Village and the Chinese Temple, Hotel
Supreme is the best hotel especially if you have functions. The function rooms
look great. One time, we went there my sister to drink coffee while enjoying
the view of the heavy vehicular traffic.

Hotel Veniz for Typical Vacations
Hotel Veniz was my American friend’s favorite because it is located near Burnham Park and across the lowest part of Session Road. This hotel is literally in the heart of the city. It is across Harrison Road which is the venue for night market. Upon opening the hotel door, you can hail a cab going anywhere like Mines View, Strawbery Farm in La Trinidad, or Ben Cab Museum in Tuba.

Baguio Transient for Vacations with the Family
If you want to see a more
natural Baguio, I recommend staying at Baguio Transient. Peter Torres, the
owner, will show you units that are designed for the family. Each of the family
members gets a space; the driver also has a dedicated space for him. You can
cook there, too. It is located in Crystal Cave which is 15 to 20 minutes away
from the city center. The neighboring houses are also owned by locals so you
get the chance to mingle with Igorots there.

After staying in Baguio for
nine years, I decided to go down to Manila to look for a job. The last time I
went home to Baguio was February this year for our promotional caravan. I hope
to be there this Christmas.
If you have questions about
accommodation, I recommend Agetyeng Travel & Tours. It is operated by
Jennifer Palacsa, a tourism practitioner slash friend. CLICK HERE to message
them on Facebook (you may mention my name to them before asking for discounts
LOL).
