Experience tranquil and frill like no other at Sotogrande Hotel
BAGUIO City—more mindful of their physical and mental health than ever, both homebuyers and travelers are now very conscious of a place they would dwell in for life or quite some time to be conducive for their overall well-being.
Known for developing lands into an estate that’s livable and flexible to today’s time, Sta. Lucia Land Inc. (SLI) has offered them another property that provides an unmatched mix of comfort, luxury and tranquility while giving that signature Filipino hospitality.
Nestled amidst the scenic sights of the country’s summer capital renowned for its cool climate and serene environment, SLI has just officially opened its eighth condominium-cum-hotel or “condotel” project under its Sotogrande brand.
More than just a home or accommodation, Sotogrande Hotel Baguio seeks to become an oasis amidst the city’s lively atmosphere and rich cultural heritage.
“Given what happened during the pandemic, people have become more aware that maybe it’s good also to own a property or a land, instead of just living in a condominium. Space was very essential during the pandemic. So having to enjoy fresh air and ample space are among the things they consider when buying or renting a place to live or stay in,” SLI Project Development manager Jayson P. Robles told the Businessmirror in an interview during the condotel’s recent grand opening.
This, together with the continued improvement of infrastructures in the country, became the deciding factor for the developer to pursue with this project.
“Unlike pre-pandemic, we really have to go to the office and then report every day. But now, we’re given the chance to work from home. So that’s also an advantage for Sta. Lucia because most of our developments are outside the central business districts, but are still a few minutes or hours away from them. So given the improved public works and highways and the internet service now, then they don’t have to stay anymore within the city just to go to work because they can be outside the city, enjoy fresh air, have more space, and then be able to work,” he explained.
Exceptional stay
STEPPING into the entrance of the Sotogrande Hotel Baguio brings an astonishing feel of its well-appointed amenities and facilities, impeccable service, and real local experiences.
Upon entering the lobby, guests can marvel at the intricate wood carvings displayed on the ceiling, showcasing the artistry of Baguio’s natives.
The eight-story condotel houses a total of 188 rooms and suites, each offering a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
Its amenities and services include a fine dining restaurant called Brisa Del Baguio, event spaces, and corporate gatherings.
For an ultimate respite in the City of Pines, a wellness retreat is at its best to recharge the mind, body and soul at the hotel’s fitness facilities, heated outdoor swimming pool and other relaxation areas.
“Our vision for every guest is to immerse them in the unique charm and cool climate of Baguio while offering a worthwhile retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life,” said Marco Fetizanan, hotel resort manager.
“We strive to encapsulate the essence of Baguio’s culture and beauty, integrating local art, cuisine, and traditions into our guests’ experiences. This allows travelers to enjoy the best of both worlds—the warmth of Filipino hospitality and the serene beauty of Baguio City and the whole Cordilleras,” he added.
All these are matched well with a personalized service from competent and welltrained staff to cater to guests’ specific needs and preferences—thanks to its partner, Enderun Hotels, that manages it with its expertise in creating unparalleled hospitality experiences.
“Our signature brand of service, ‘Personalized Luxury,’ makes us at Sotogrande Hotel Baguio a true standout,” Robles noted. “This synergy ensures that we are not just a place to stay but a sanctuary where guests can create memorable experiences.”
Beyond promoting further Baguio’s tourism industry, SLI also pushes the envelope for public-private partnership. In fact, Sotogrande Baguio works closely with the local government and stakeholders. It has initiated and joined in different projects aimed at sustainable tourism, including community outreach programs, environmental conservation efforts, and cultural preservation initiatives.
“Through these endeavors, we aim not only to enhance the visibility of Baguio as a prime tourist destination but also to contribute to the community’s well-being and the preservation of its rich heritage,” Fetizanan stressed.
