The Old Diplomat Hotel (Baguio City)

March 14, 2015


So after visiting Mines View Park we then proceed to another known scary place in Baguio City, The Old Diplomat Hotel.

The Old Diplomat HoteL

This place is located in a secluded area in Baguio City, so better grab a cab to easily locate it, I believe there's no jeepney's traveling in that area. But do not worry, taxi cabs in Baguio are very accommodating and is far more different than taxi cabs in Manila.

Entrance fee? There's no entrance fee for this place, we just have to make sure that we won't litter or damage anything that is inside the park or else someone will hunt you! hahaha just kidding!

The biggest tablet of 10 commandments of God I have ever seen

When you arrive in the vicinity you'll first notice this chapel-like place adjacent to the parking lot. We thought it's a must that you enter the chapel first before touring around the hotel to be blessed and be safe with unseen creatures.

But that's only in my thoughts, hihi, paranoid me. It's like a healing prayer for those who will enter their chapel. A woman entertained us and gives us a small prayer leaflet and she prayed for us all who was in there. And then after the prayers, she will anoint the sick with oil. And then after that a photo opp.

And then we've proceeded with the tour, nothing special really. It's just a simple old building, well clean building. They have a couple of benches inside and some photo exhibit on one wall. It's really the same as what we usually saw on TV.

Photo Exhibit 

In the photo exhibit, you will see several pictures of somewhat like an operation using the faith healers bare hands. And some photos of friars who used to live in the hotel. Some photos are freaky, especially those of friars who seems to be looking straight at you.


I think what's really unforgettable about this place is the garden. It is not scary here compared to Laperal White House. The place is very clean and very relaxing. The garden looks like it was taken care of seriously.

So here's the famous central garden at the old Diplomat hotel.

And one more thing you will see here that you will never forget is the huge sunflower all around the garden. It's like plants versus zombies came into life. So cute!

So don't forget to visit this place when you go up north, I would prefer you do it in the morning, cause you'll know.

Happy planning!
