Each visit brings a sense of nostalgia, and I look forward to discovering new corners of the city while reliving the familiar joys that make Baguio feel like home. We normally stay in a simple inn in which we only stay to sleep, take a bath, and of course leave some of our stuff to go roam around the city for our convenience. The crisp, cool air and the vibrant pine trees wrap around me like an old friend, reminding me of cherished memories. As I wander through the bustling markets and savor the local delicacies, I find that each visit deepens my connection to this enchanting city. The artistic spirit and warm smiles of the locals always invite me to explore further, ensuring that every trip feels like a new adventure.




On March 28, 2016, we arrived at Azalea Hotels and Residences, Baguio, and got checked in, and yes, the first impression was "WOW, ang laki hahaha." We didn't stop laughing for a few minutes; it was huge for the 2 of us, and the kitchen alone added some excitement to our stay. As we roam around, my first destination in the room is the balcony. Stepping onto the balcony, I was greeted by a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and pine trees swaying gently in the breeze. The crisp air filled my lungs, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of tranquility wash over me as I took in the beauty of Baguio. 








I wanted to see the view from our room, and yes, it was just perfect; we are located at the center of the 5th floor. I could already envision the adventures we would embark on during our stay, and the excitement bubbled within me as I took in the breathtaking scene.





We stayed 3 days/2 nights at Azalea Hotels and Residences. At Azalea Hotels and Residences, everything inside the room was perfect.... especially for a couple!

In the morning we wake up early for breakfast at Tradisyon Cafe inside Azalea Hotels and Residences, and well, it was exactly what I wanted for breakfast.

When Filipinos travel, the search for the best food tops the list. Tradisyon brings you well-loved and familiar local and international food sought after by Filipinos on holiday.







Since they haven't arrived yet, we decided to take some photos around the vicinity of the hotel. 











 

 










While I and Joseph were roaming around taking pictures at the playground area, someone, a man in a "suit," came along telling us that we could stay inside the hotel. At first I thought we were not allowed to roam around or even outside the vicinity of Azalea Hotels and Residences. I told Him we are just waiting for the rest of the bloggers for the bloggers event. He then introduced himself as "Mr. Paul Kristian Fil Darang," and he will be one of the staff who will assist us for the bloggers event. 


 


As we went back inside the hotel at the reception area where 8 Degree Bar is situated, there was this cute girl who's also a blogger waiting for the rest of the bloggers. She introduced herself as Charlotte Anne de Peralta, or shortly "Char-Char," and she's originally from Baguio. How cool is that, right?




Finally around past 12pm the rest of the bloggers who came all the way from Manila arrived, perfect time for lunch. 




Our first itinerary destination of the day is to have lunch at Tradisyon Cafe, which is situated inside the Azalea Hotels and Residences. 

Seating Capacity: 70 persons
Operating Hours: 6 am to 10 pm daily
Menu: Filipino and International   






Let me make you starve with the delectable yummy lunch we had at Tradisyon Coffee Shop "Your Comfor Food".


Traditional Chicken Barbeque

Traditional Adobong Pusit

Traditional Squash and String Beans with Coconut Milk

Traditional Pork Sinigang

Traditional Beef Kare-Kare

Strawberry Cupcake



After our heavy yet delicious tummy lunch, we are guided to our designated room. We were advised that we will be sharing a room with Ms. Cherry Bells and Mrs. Nicole Paler, our roommates, for 3 days. 






And since we are a couple, we were given a room of our own—I mean, a room in a room—because our designated room comes with 2 bedrooms, a huge kitchen, separate bathrooms with a balcony just perfect for sunrise, and a sala area with a huge sofa bed. Let me show you some photos of our room for 3 days.









One of the surprising things we saw inside the room as we entered was this basket of fruits that welcomed us. How sweet is that?




 
We were given a few minutes to fix our things inside the room and be ready for our next itinerary, which is the tour inside Azalea Hotel and Residences itself. We get to see the lobby, the functions, the playground, and of course the different rooms they're offering, which are indeed surprisingly huge, perfect for a group of barkadas and/or families


Here are some of the photos of the different rooms
















We had a great Dinner after the days activities, here are some of the food we had:









As the saying goes, "Once you leave a place with a happy heart, it means your heart belongs to that place..." Indeed, I kind of left my heart at Azalea Hotels and Residences. I was fascinated with the style in our rooms; we had everything that we needed—spacious, and you merely don't even want to get out of the vicinity; the kitchen alone makes you feel at home... away from home.

Customer service was all perfect; they made us feel really at home without even feeling like we just had to stay for a while! We even received some goodies while we were away for our bloggers itinerary. How sweet is it?




I may not have had a chance to get to know each and every one of the bloggers, but I had fun during the event. Hoping that we could bond again; who knows, the next destination will be at Azalea Hotels and Residences, Boracay! Here are some of the photos: 





















This is one of the best hotels in Baguio. Though it's a little bit pricey, it's still highly recommended. The place is secluded and very quiet, and the ambiance is great. The front officers are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms have kitchenettes, so you are like living in a condo.

First, this place is secluded. Ample parking, very safe, quiet, and very easy to check in. Booking this hotel was easy. The buffet breakfast was average. 


I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AZALEA HOTELS AND RESIDENCES, BAGUIO. I WILL SURELY STAY HERE ONCE AGAIN WHEN I WANNA HIDEAWAY FROM THE CITY!
