Fun and Relaxation at Azalea Hotel and Residences in Baguio

No. 7 Leonard Wood Loop, Brgy. Manuel Roxas, Baguio City

It was past 6:30 am when our group left Quezon City , passing several towns and provinces on our way to Baguio City ( Summer Capital and Flower Capital ) of the country. Our group wanted to have fun and relaxation within Baguio .  It had been 4 years since i last set foot in the city.

The travel was smooth and comfortable . Despite the ongoing road construction at Kennon road  , We manage to arrive safety within the hotel premises by 11:00 am , A good 4 hours and 30 minutes drive from Metro Manila. Our group had 2 brief stop over one at NLEX and La Union .

lion’s head

We spend about 5 hours and 30 minutes when we last visited Baguio in 2012.  The lion’s head is located at Camp 6 and is considered as an iconic landmark of Baguio.  There were a lot of stalls selling handcrafts and souvenir items not only around Baguio but also nearby provinces .

There is also a pocket garden with a fountain located at the middle of the building , this also serve as a focal point and great photo opportunity site for those visitors to the hotel premises.

  The building is modern with a touch of Swiss chalet style in design and some rooms have scenic views of the surrounding mountains, buildings and pine trees.

playground

The hotel had a playground for kids and a small garden with a lot of flowering annuals plants and azalea flowers .

azalea flower

Azalea is a flowering shrub which is found growing in higher elevation and in temperate countries . I think the proprietors choose the name because of the unique features of the flower and its vivid colors . However , I think this flowering plant will not survive the hot and humid conditions of Metro Manila .  There are also some native azaleas growing within the vicinity of Baguio .

vertical wall garden

parking space

There is also an ample parking space for visitors of the hotel ,  I would recommend guests to pre-book parking slot if you are planning to bring a car or family van.
