MAIN TEXT BY MAYA CALICA COLLINS
With its cool climate,
strawberry fields and pine
tree-scented air, Baguio is
deserving of its billing as the
Philippines’ summer capital.
Sure, it’s a bustling metropolis
but it’s also home to the rich
culture of the Ifugao and a
host of quaint 19th-century
heritage-homes-turned-
delightful-restaurants,
charming bookstores and
quirky museums. When in
town, check into the Microtel
Inn & Suites by Wyndham
and you’ll be at the center of
all of Baguio’s wonders.
NO CAR? NO
PROBLEM!
Escaping to Baguio from
Manila is as simple as
boarding a bus. Conveniently
located right next to the
Victory Liner bus terminal,
Microtel Inn & Suites is linked
to it by a short walkway.
What’s more, you’ll love
how close the hotel is to
Baguio City’s major points
of interest. Browse for rare
titles at Mt Cloud Bookshop,
wander around the lush
campus of UP Baguio and
take in awesome views of
old copper mines at Mine’s
View Park. Go boating or
cycling in Burnham Park and
experience the hustle and
bustle of Session Road.
ASK AND YOU SHALL
RECEIVE
Given that its staff is trained

will gladly help meet your

THE COMFORTS OF
HOME… ANDMORE
Is it business, pleasure or both
that you’re in town for? Microtel
Inn & Suites Baguio has what it
takes to ensure a comfortable
stay. For corporate get-
togethers, the function rooms
here are just the thing. You can
also wine and dine colleagues
or spend time with family
and friends — while enjoying
margaritas, mojitos and
sumptuous Spanish cuisine — at
Te Quiero Tapas Bar. Thanks to
free Wi-Fi and unlimited coffee
in the lobby, it’s a snap to do
last-minute tweaks on that all-
important presentation on your
laptop. When night falls, retreat
to your spacious room (rooms
range in size from 25 to 30m
2
)
where a chiropractor-approved,
queen-size bed awaits.
