I’m going to write about Baguio again today because I have loads of ideas and photos from the trip that I want to share with you all!! 🙂 Okay, I’m trying to do a weekly blog update. My last post was five weeks ago cause I’ve been busy with a lot of things at work lately but I promise myself to have at least one post a week so that I can delete photos that have been sitting in my cloud storage and so that I can still practice writing even if I’m sabaw. 🙂
Anyways, the last time me and my family were in Baguio, we had the chance to discover Azalea Residences – a homey and surprisingly beautiful hotel located in Leonard Wood Road across Teacher’s Camp.
Azalea Residences combines the comfort of a luxury hotel (awesome amenities and top-class services) and the convenience of a regular Baguio home (great view, quiet yet beautiful surroundings, complete room set-up). It offers deluxe rooms and one to three bedrooms suites complete with living and dining areas and spacious bathrooms. The place is perfect for families who basically want to still catch-up while having dinner or watching TV even after touring the city.
And since we’re such a huge family we book the three bedrooms suites. 🙂 The room looked more like an apartment than a hotel room. It’s 75-square meter according to the hotel staff and its loaded with everything we need! Aside from the three huge bedrooms, the room has two bathrooms, three television units, and some useful kitchen appliances.
Our youngest sister dived on the bed immediately and opened the TV. She was exhausted from the trip. :p
Here’s a blurry photo of the master bedroom. :p
The kitchen is terrific! After the day tours and during our entire stay, we would buy dinner outside and eat it inside the hotel room while watching TV. You can even cook your own meal cause the kitchen also has electronic stove but we choose not too cause we were tired (and lazy) most especially at night all the time. :p
The hotel has this chic looking restaurant called Tradisyon Pinoy Comfort Food. It offers free buffet breakfast for guests and has a variety of food selection. This is very convenient especially for families who just don’t have the time to have breakfast together. Like for us, we would wake up at different times in the morning. Some at 7 and some at around 11. Some would have coffee and some would immediately look for breakfast. It really helped that that this restaurant is just an elevator ride away!
The restaurant, surprisingly, is huge. The main dinning area can accommodate a huge number of guests even during peak hours. They also built an annex to provide additional space. The interiors are neat and chic and the chairs are comfy as well.
The annex area with a separate buffet table.
The buffet spread has different selection of Filipino and American breakfast (Sorry I was not able to take photos). The restaurant also has a salad corner
and a dessert corner.
Every morning after breakfast, I would walk around the hotel vicinity and take pictures. It was though these early morning walks that I noticed their huge lounge area in the lobby. Guests can just sit, read magazines, and have coffee while waiting for their reservations/check-outs. They won’t get bored, I guess. 🙂
Azalea Residences is a family hotel. You have to stay here to experience warmth of home away from home. Its a little bit expensive but at least, you’ll only be paying for one room. You can just split the bill if you’re with a group of friends but if you’re with your family, you can even have the chance to save some cause in other hotels, you’ll be paying for separate rooms with separate taxes and service charges.
And you won’t even need to go out or use the intercom while waiting for your fam, all you have to do is knock. How convenient is that? 🙂
