A must-see in Baguio! I know there are plenty to attractions in the Cuty of Pines, but at least you have to check this out. Guests are allowed to enter until 5PM. While you can’t enter the building itself, you can go around the haunted structure, appreciate its history, and take snaps. Entrance fee is P20 per person. The Mirador Park is nearby so you might want to add that to your itinerary as well.

Been here for many times. But still love to visit this place. Kinda scary and feels like a horror house to me. 👻

This place is a aesthetically pleasing for people who have brave hearts. Well, I mean, you know the history. The air near the hotel is somewhat heavy for me and my other friends. But the place as I said is beautiful. I just hope their souls rest in peace and don't mind the visitors🙃🙂🤞

Last time I went here was October 2019, where you can still go inside the building and climb up to the roof top. As you go inside, you’ll get that eerie feeling. There’s a fountain in the middle part where it feels so classic and vintage. Now, It’s 2022 and I went back with my partner. Tourists are no longer allowed to go inside due to the falling debris inside the building and for safety measures. You can still take pictures outside and within the premises. They now have an entrance fee of Php10.00 per head. They are only open up until 5pm Follow to catch up with me and my reviews! ✈️

The small garden at the left side of the Old Diplomat Hotel is worth checking, especially when it's dark. When we went there, the park was serene and no one was there but us. Great place to just sit down ang talk. When we went there Dec 2021, the Old Diplomat Hotel was closed because there were falling pieces of rocks from the wall and ceiling due to a previous typhoon. I hope they renovate and fortify it. The graffiti inside though was a bad choice for me. It took away the historical significance of the building.

Love the scary stories of this old abandoned building! ✔️ - Parking Area ❌ - Comfort Room 😛😛😛😛😛 - Enjoyable ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Historical (w/goosebumps) 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 - Ambience ( scary )

The place was a bit crowded when we went in last March 20, 2022. Probably because it's the weekend and the restrictions were lifted. The place kinda gives you a creep but we find it amusing and amazing at the same time. The view is very calming as well and it's nice to take picture almost everywhere. Too bad we cannot go inside anymore not the same as 3 or 4 years ago. Overall we'd love to go back here when it's not that crowded anymore.

It would have been better if we were allowed to come inside. There's nothing much to see. Is it worth the travel? Probably yes for first-timers. Will I go back? Probably not unless they're allowing visitors inside again. It was still fun going here with friends though.

Old Diplomat Hotel, Baguio City 👀 • Visitors are not allowed inside. But you may take your photo-ops outside. 🙂 • Open Mondays to Sundays, 6:00am to 6:00pm Admission: • General Admission: ₱25.00 Transportation Access: • Jeep: Ride a jeepney with the Dominican-Mirador route.

I love the views from the rooftop… It’s scanty because of the pandemic.. quite lonely but it’s a beautiful place for views and pictures. Entrance is php10 for adult and php5 for kids

Wanna get spooked? Heritage Hill and Nature Park Garden is the new name, Dominican Hill Retreat House as referred to before, to me it is Diplomat Hotel. Diplomat Hotel as it is called in the many TV shows that featured this edifice will scare you for the many elements that live in it. Did we get the vibe? Make a guess. We went here on a rainy afternoon. The rain beat us badly, we got wet. Thanks to the umbrellas that we have, it didn't soak us. Approaching the place made me think twice. I am skittish, jumpy, high-strung, even neurotic sometimes despite having so many horror books I have in my room or no matter how many hundreds of thriller-horror movies I already have watched and ghostly experiences I dealt with years back. So, I almost backed out but I did not. Thanks to my friends who laughed at me. We arrived a little past 5 pm. We paid for the entrance fee and waited patiently for our turn to have our picture taken in every part outside the hotel. Yes, outside the hotel. It is in renovation these days that we can only have a glimpse of this famous structure from the outside. Should I be thankful for that? Well, I guess not very because my heart secretly wanted to get in. Anyway, we meandered in the place for the remaining daylight there is and took photos of whatever we can. We went through a path in the garden and posed many many times for the camera for a souvenir that we braved the Diplomat Hotel. Hey, we loved the pictures by the garden. Braved if you can call it that way. Hey, we loved the pictures taken by the garden. It looked like from a fairy tale land. As for the spooks? Sorry, we didn't experience such. We're outside the building. We'll just go back sometime in the future to get this vibe.

My impulsiveness has led me to this well-known haunted place in Baguio. Though it gives off an ominous vibe, as various stories about people seeing headless apparitions and hearing screams, cries, and even banging on the door at night surround its gray and washed-out red walls, the beauty of this dilapidated architecture still remains. It's kind of sad that visitors can no longer go inside and explore because of possible structural dangers.. 😭😭 But I hope the local government can do something to protect and preserve this historical landmark.

This place is more of a historical structure for me, not that creepy and haunted hotel some people were saying. You can see rooms where guests used to accommodate, fountains (not working and surprisingly, working) and souvenir shop. Above. You can see the lovely view of Baguio. I wish they could bring this building back to life.

Been here twice this year and every visit was great. The architecture is beautiful and well-preserved, with stunning views of the city and surrounding mountains. The gardens and outdoor spaces are also beautiful and peaceful. However, the hotel’s eerie and haunted reputation might not be for everyone. I would recommend visiting The Diplomat Hotel at night and be prepared for a spooky but unforgettable experience 😱😬😳

A very nice place to go strolling and breath fresh air since the place is also surrounded by nature. Sometimes there are art exhibits held inside the hotel. It is quite creepy when there are only few visitors. But if there are a lot of people, the place gets very noisy. Go to the roofdeck to get a nice view of the city, and if you're lucky, and the weather is great, you will also see Mount St. Tomas and Mt. Cabuyao.

Simple and looks like it's ravaged by war kind of ambiance from the movies. Quick visit. Really old style preserved and only the façade is allowed for pics, can't get in due to renovation. There's entrance of 10 pesos for this outdoor pic. There's a garden nearby to unwind after if you like pine trees. This spot also has snack sellers, a place where you can take a break indeed. If you like old and dated, this is someplace to consider passing-by. Only, it's tough to get a solo pic at lunch time with lots of passers, so come early.

Scary abandoned building with a dark history is said to be one the the most haunted places here in Baguo. It was originally built as a retreat house that would serve as vacation house for the Dominican order. It was remodeled as a hotel but later ceased operations and became abandoned. At present, the Diplomat Hotel story is referred to as one of the creepiest tales in the City of Pines

Heritage Hill and Nature Park Garden, with the Old Diplomat Hotel ruins, provides a unique historical and cultural experience with beautiful scenic views.

Cultural Experience: Visitors can explore the remnants of the old hotel and learn about its past, providing a cultural and educational experience. Gardens and Greenery: The park surrounding the ruins is well-maintained with lush gardens and greenery, creating a pleasant and peaceful environment. Cons of Heritage Hill and Nature Park Garden (Old Diplomat Hotel): Limited Amenities: The site may lack modern amenities like restaurants or restrooms, so visitors should come prepared with essentials.

Weather-Dependent: Baguio's weather can be unpredictable, and fog or rain may obstruct the scenic views, potentially affecting the overall experience. Limited Activities: While the site is historically and culturally interesting, it may not offer a wide range of activities, which could be a drawback for those seeking more diverse entertainment.

We came straight from Mirador Heritage and Eco Park. The ride wasn't long, we drove for about five minutes. There were tourists, but it wasn't as crowded. That was around 10 in the morning. You have to pay for entrance fee and also for parking fee. You are not allowed to go inside the abondoned hotel, but you can roam around the permeter. Currently, they are developing a garden around the place.

The place was not haunted at all. We were not allowed to get inside since there were I think engineers or some people inside inspecting the building. Location is not accessible with jeepney for first time visitors. Just book a grab or ride a taxi to get there quickly. Pay 10pesos entrance fee and that’s it.

The abandoned Diplomat Hotel, now part of the Dominican Heritage Hill and Nature Park, boasts impressive architecture and a haunting history that attracts ghost hunters. The property's transformation into the Dominican Heritage Hill and Nature Park adds a touch of natural beauty to its eerie charm. During our visit, the closed hotel left the interior a mystery, but the captivating scenery below made the trip worthwhile. Whether you're drawn to ghostly tales, architectural wonders, or breathtaking views, the Abandoned Diplomat Hotel provides a unique and memorable experience at the heart of the Dominican Heritage Hill and Nature Park.

A must-visit place when you're in Baguio, as it has unparalleled views of the city especially during sunset. Just be careful when taking photos as you may end up capturing some eerie images. 🤫

We really had a good time when we went to Diplomat Hotel. It is a heritage site to behold. The architectural design of the place is fantastic even if you can onlg see the ruins. When you walk along the corridors, it is like you are walking back to time. My first thought was that we are gonna have goosebumps but when we went there, we did not feel anything extraordinary but we felt so amazed. It is open to the public at 6 am until 6 pm. You can bring snacks with you (but you should know how to put your trash on the proper garbage bins). If you wanted to eat, there is also the Hive just beside the old hotel.

They say it is creepy but actually it is not. The ruins are nice. It should be preserve

... The place is maintained, though there are some rooms filled with debris. The second floor is closed and under renovation. All and all good for it's very historical...

The Dominican Hill Retreat House, also commonly known as the Diplomat Hotel, is an abandoned structure atop Dominican Hill, Baguio, Philippines. It is now undergoing rehabilitation through the efforts of the city government. The whole property on which it stands has been renamed as the Dominican Heritage Hill and Nature Park. A panoramic view of the city unfolds from its vantage point, the stone crucifix on the outdoor patio of the hotel's second floor.

It’s been a decade before i went back here. More clean and many people becoming more interested in the place. But they don’t allow people enter the building maybe for safety purposes. I still amazed and grateful to be back🥰🥰

It was sooo foggy when we got there around 4pm, feeling you are really in a hunted place 😱. Tourist are no longer allowed inside the building because of the falling debris, but you can take pictures outside of the eerie old building. It was constructed in 1913. You have to pay P10. entrance fee per head and closes at 5pm. You can take your best OOTD as the outside building facade is soo vintage and very beautiful but just be aware there might be a ghost or white lady behind you 🤪😂✌️ 👉 PS: You may watch, like, comment and SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube channel 😘 " Arlene Aces "

Hunted mansion but still very unique. Paid entrance fee of Php10.00. At first glance of the mansion, it looked scary. It’s abandoned mansion with some horrifying stories. It has garden at the back and with a nice view of the community and there is another garden with paved walked way adjacent to the front of the mansion is a garden.

This is a beautiful area and worth seeing, however I do wish there was a way to restore the old church back to its original state. We spent a couple of hours here looking inside the church from the outside. This church sits quietly on top of a small mountain. There were venders there and I tried yam ice cream for the first time. This is worth a visit for sure.

I can't believe I get to take a photo of the place myself. I used to look at the photos from the internet but now I have taken shots of this famous place by myself and I loved it! It's creepy knowing it's history but I loved it!

I am a local and I must say that this place still gives me the creeps whenever I go here. Too bad that on my most recent visit, it was too crowded already. Maybe because of the influx of tourist going to Baguio. Nonetheless, if you are looking for a picture perfect memory here in Baguio, Diplomat Hotel is a must visit.

The place and its history was interesting enough and man, the view!

What a view So far, they have the best viewpoint in Baguio. There is plenty of space to park vehicles. It's not that expensive. Needs more places to buy snacks or drinks.

The place is very cozy, There's a spacious parking here. I love the Historical Vibe of the Place. When we got there-The tourists dont have the permissions to enter the Hall maybe because of the obsolescene of the hall and the results of an erathquake cor the past time which can lead on causing an Accidents.

Such a cool place to visit that feels eerie but looks beautiful. It has such a quiet atmosphere and I wish there was more signs or an old museum to read the history of the place. The gardens were beautifully maintained and very clean and tidy. I’d love to go back at night time for a paranormal investigation.

Was honestly disappointed. There is literally nothing to see here. The building itself was not available to the public, which is understandable since it's so old and practically falling apart, but even the garden portion is so small. The views are good and some spots are really nice for pi tures but that's about it.

It's a good place to visit if you are interested in historical places and remnants of the war. But if you are a little in tune with the paranormal, then extra caution would be recommended since the energies in this place can be a little uncomfortable. Has an entrance fee of 10 pesos per head. Tourists are no longer allowed to enter the place due to its compromised structural integrity.

The place is okay. If you want to go here, I suggest you have your car/rental/Grab. We were struggling to book a taxi to go down. Thankfully, we were able to secure a grab, but it did take a while.

Visited November 15. We cannot go inside due to the poor structure of the building premises. Lucky to have been able to go inside back in 2020.

Perfect place to visit if you are passionate into ghost hunting — given the building’s storied past. However, for the normal person, I feel this is overhyped by the spooky stories you hear from social media. It’s nothing more than just an old abandoned building, and you couldnt go inside even. Not to mention the very difficult drive going to the area. I have to give it to them though, they have a nice and lovely view of the entire city. But again, this is a very hit or miss destination.

Extraordinary place

This place looks so scary

Great view from the Deck.

Nice place to discover... Eerie for some but I find the place great for seeing Baguio in a much better viewpoint. Quite difficult to go to for some dye to steep roads but it's a great ride :)

Okay

A good place to visit for art lovers

Cool place (literally). It's good but not maintained properly. Also, no functioning comfort room when I went there.

This place is really historical imagining the history behind this hotel where it served as a refuge during World War 2. It's amazing how the walls are still standing and withheld the test of time. The place is at the very end of Dominican hill in Baguio. There are many tourists coming in so no need to be afraid

(Translated by Google) Abandoned old building See from the layout design picture Period that is still active Seems to be a beautiful place With a well-designed space allocation Nowadays it is often said that In the mystery of the spooky spirit Unfortunately the building is beautiful.

Opening my third eye 😁😁

We visited this place, yet they restricted you to enter the main hotel due after the earthquake because the building is quite old , and for the safety for all.. Entrace fee is 10 pesos for adult and 5 for kids. Operated by the lgu so quite reasonable Old building full of history. 😃 👧 my pay, my say 😊

It is pretty but since we got to go there in morning, it is not that creepy. We had fun strolling here and I love every corner of it. The only thing that I didn't see was the restroom because there's a lot of people that time.

Quiet place for prayer but they were cutting trees when we visited. First time buying their Angel Cookies. Sweet but I liked them. There's a small place for candle lighting.

Old Diplomat Hotel is a fun visit

Great for photography!

Quite crowded in the morning. Due to the volume of people, the ambience of the supposed to be creepy place was gone,. Maybe the place will be different by afternoon or evening. Will go back to check on a different time. Nonetheless, the place is beautiful. The view from the top is amazing.

Low cost ticket. Cons long queue line and up to no parking space. Better to go here as early as you can. Or better to have driver/tour

Nice place to visit... its historical place.. Before its a dominican rest and retreat house then for the refugee and turn to a hotel.. now its historical place you should visit. Open 6am-6pm. Its not that scary place.. more like historical site

Explore the old Diplomat hotel with its picturesque facade but don't let your imagination get wild!

It was nice, the creepy feels are still there. Too bas we were not able to see the art galleries. No idea why most of the displays are gone

Fun to spend time with friends here, it's a very old and historical place to visit.

It's good But Creepy It Was Haunted

It was awsome! It feels like turning back in time :) amaizing experience must visit !! Entrance will only cost 10Php. Per person.

I like it hope to visit again when someone will give a good restoration for it

They say its a creepy place since lots of people lost their lives there. For me, it's merely connecting to our past. While going around the place I keep thinking of how the early generations lived and lost their lives there. Thumbs up to their local government for preserving this ruins in order for the new generations to have a glimpse of the past. 👍👍👍

Better to come early morning to avoid the influx of tourist.

Love the place.

Spooky old building with a rooftop offering a wonderful scenic view of Baguio city.

Big improvement on the facilities.

Place was clean and orderly...

History is a great teacher..

Nice place with a very nice view.

Scary place

Nice place.

The Dominican Hill Retreat House, also commonly known as the Diplomat Hotel, is an abandoned structure atop Dominican Hill, Baguio, Philippines. It is now undergoing rehabilitation through the efforts of the city government.

just an old bldg with nature. nothing so special

Considered as one of the most haunted place in the country. Yeah! I'm convinced. I saw a white misty figure coming out from the main entrance. I wasn't frightened but amazed. 😮👻🏚️

(Translated by Google) No longer maintain order, concentrated writing on walls (Original) Hindi na maintain ang kaayusan, puro sulat sa mga pader

Super crowded. But it will gave you a nice view. Best time to go is 4pm onwards

Spooky and cold.. nice exploration for this historical haunted building.

Cold and nice scenery. 5:30 the guards alarmed us that the place will be close at exactly 6pm. There's an entrance fee of 25 pesos last February 2020, but last November 2019 no one asked us for the entrance fee. Maybe it is seasonal.

Adventure seeker ?visit here

Wasn't able to go inside as it's not allowed when we went there. They blocked the entry way. It was creepy. There were a lot of people. Even so a couple doing prenup.

Revisited the hotel during the pandemic and it hits different with no tourists bustling along with you. The air is colder and it's like someone's always looking from your back. Haha.

The rooftop view is pretty good and the history of the place is quite interesting. Not spooky enough imo.

Disappointing

Historical and yet "romantic place"

(Translated by Google) This place is not creepy at all. The roof top is cool and the view is nice. Also, the beauty of paintings within the diplomat ☺️ (Original) This place is not creepy at all. Napakalamig sa roof top saka ang ganda ng view. Isa pa, ang gaganda ng paintings sa loob ng diplomat ☺️

Improved tourist spot! Excellent view of Baguio.

Creepy af but we went here many times already! This historic place from the past was very interesting.

Had an amazing time at the Diplomat Hotel in Baguio! The historical charm and eerie stories added a thrilling touch to our stay. The ambiance was fantastic, and we appreciated the unique experience. Would recommend for those seeking a blend of fun and intriguing tales! Overall 5 shiny stars!!
