Azalea Residences | Where to stay in Baguio

I've been coming to Baguio ever since I was 2 years old for the summers. I thought that I had seen it all, and that the only new thing that I would get to appreciate is the Strawberry Taho and Strawberry Ice Cream that everyone's been crazy about lately.

Turns out I am very sorely MISTAKEN. So come with me, and let me take you to my journey of seeing Baguio in a New Light.

Azalea Hotel And Residences

When going to Baguio, you would need a place to check in for the cold nights. A place where you can snuggle. Or keep warm under the covers in the cool mountain breeze that Baguio brings. A place you can call not just your room, but your holiday haven, your Home, if you will.


Azalea Hotels and Residences gave us just that, and more. Located in Leonard Wood Loop, (a few minutes walk away from Teacher's Camp), location is great as it is quite near your usual city hotspots for checking out new restaurants along the area, and even clubbing and what not. Having a 4 star rating for being the first serviced apartment- hotel in Baguio City, Azalea Baguio your next holiday haven.

Tradisyon Restaurant in Azalea Residences

We were welcomed with a very hearty lunch from their in house restaurant, Tradisyon, and they stay true to the motto of Pinoy Comfort Food.





We were served Ginataang Kalabasa and Okra, Stir fried Squid, Chiken Inasal, Pork Sinigang and the pahabol na Kare Kare.


Chicken Inasal

Ginataang Kalabasa at Okra

The simplicity of this dish is what made it taste so special. No frills and stays true to it's natural veggie flavors, this Veggies in Coconut Milk is a true Comfort Food. :)

Stir-Fried Pusit

Sinigang na Baboy

I say pahabol to the Karekare because it was given to us after everything else is already served. Thus I wasn't able to get you guys an awesome food shot like the other dishes cause I was already eating at that point.

Carrot Cup Cake

Dessert is presented to us in the form of a really decadent Carrot Cup Cake with walnuts and a strawberry and cream cheese topping.

Sweet Strawberry juice to start our Azalea Baguio Summer Getaway

They offer buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But if you want a quick drink or maybe 3, 8 Degrees Lounge is an easy access to your cocktail fix. The place is called 8 Degrees by the way in remembrance to the lowest temperature ever recorded in Baguio City, which coincidentally is 8°.

Side story: We were already late for lunch when we got there because there's a heavy traffic buildup at Kennon Road, just after you pass the Big Ole Lion Statue. Yes folks, hindi lang sa EDSA #MayForever, you can also find it sa Kennon Road going to Baguio City. XD

Rooms and Rates in Azalea

This is how a 2-bedroom suite looks like... This is the sofa bed, one door to the left of the photo is a room and my room is to the right door in the photo.

Above and below are photos from our two bedroom suite when we stayed in Azalea. If the two bedroom suite is spacious enough for 8 people from my point of view, I imagine all rooms in Azalea to be really big and worth it for the price. It feels much like a more affordable version of the Manor in Camp John Hay to be honest.

After that we were presented to our rooms. Azalea Residences Baguio is inspired by a ski resort lodge. Below are their published rates, but if you go and book earlier, like at least a month before, you can get up to 50% discounts. The link to get 50% off is below the rates.

Azalea is designed for Family Fun, Group Getaway vacations, hence the fully furnished rooms with kitchen and living room facilities. Yeah guys, you can cook rice or whatever dish you fancy if you don't feel like eating out, or if you're a mom on a budget, cause they have working stoves, rice cookers and complete kitchen and dining utensils! Cooking something up with the family is a great bonding experience!


Our room is a 2 bedroom suite with a back view balcony (can accommodate up to 6 adults), and we were only 4 in the room hence the big space and room for privacy. Most of their rooms have the same comfy ambiance, and can accommodate a lot of people, depending on the size of the room you got.  I really love hotels that adorn white/cream walls by the way as it gives the illusion of more space and it makes me feel at peace. :).



Here's my cozy bedroom, fully equipped with cable tv and wifi for the guests! All I wish now is a cuddle from Pichi for my Cool Baguio nights, but I'll have to make do with the very comfy and warm pillows and comforter that they have. :3



The lavish bathroom is not to be missed! It really surpassed my standards for being a great and awesome bathroom.

Travel Fact: You can tell if the place you're staying at is great if you have an awesome, clean bathroom, fully equipped with working heater for the showers. ;)

Complimentary basket of fruits for the guests! Yay for Bananas and Strawberries! :3

And oh I am loving this big cozy swivel chair, perfect for just chilling and basking in the Baguio scenery. And as with most hotels in Baguio City, you don't need the A/C cause the chilly weather of the City of Pines is enough. :)

Azalea Hotels and Residences Baguio also has a number of spacious function halls and meeting rooms for your events, valet parking and car hire service, as well as a lavish garden and a cute, spacious playground for your kids and kids at heart to enjoy!

By the way, if you're looking for more discounts, guests can call Azalea's "Tawad Hotline" 450-1151 and book their rooms. There are discounted rates and promos available depending on the day you book and the day you will stay. #FrugalMommy! ;)

Azalea Hotels and Residences also offers tours around another side of Baguio. While we all usually know about Burnham Park, Wright Park or Camp John Hay, there is more to this city than the said tourist spots. Check out their website below to see their latest deals.

It is quite refreshing and that alone makes it perfect for a Family Fun Weekend Getaway, or even just a great barkada group getaway bonding experience.

I would definitely recommend that you stay here and experience the warm hospitality and great suites that they have. Azalea Residences and Baguio indeed holds something different for everyone, see what it has for you. :)

PS: I will post more of my Baguio Summer Adventure, as one article will be way too lengthy if I stuff it all here.
