Description
Privilege
Great place to have bonding with your family and friends.
Creepy! Cold air coming from inside the place whilst the sun is shining outside.
Beautiful building. It didnt feel creepy at all in contrast to what the mainstream media is telling. Sadly you can only go and visit around the structure but not inside due to the damaged it incured.
MoreI studied at Saint Louis University but didnt go to this place until my daughter told me about it. Located on top of DOMINICAN HILL, this historical place is a Monastery during Japanese invavsion. Also beside it is a big TABLET of the TEN COMMANDMENTS where it earned the Guinness Book of Records.
MoreThis place is really aesthetic ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Nice place but its no longer allowed to go inside.
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 reasonableOld building full of history.😃 👧 my pay, my say 😊
MoreWe wanted to go inside but the guard says that anyone was not allowed because some of the stones are falling down and might cause an injury when we got hit by it... it was quite creepy inside
MoreBest time to visit around 4pm till closing time for you to feel the haunted vibes of the place. Happy Hunting Peeps! 😱😱😱
MoreNot for the faint of heart, the history behind it is quite sad so it would be nice to drop by and pay respects.
MoreThe haunted diplomat hotel!! the way it built n left abandoned, with the eerie looks of fog surrounding the place n chilling weather will give you a feeling of living in a horror thriller movie scene-for a while, better if you read a bit of history on how japanese invaded it in WW2, n all related stories surrounding it before visiting..I heard diplomat hotel was later burnt n so many died from a folk here,but couldnt find it in google🥴share if u know...ps.Dont wryy you can still sleep well at Night🤭🤗
MoreHistoric places really has this chilling and thrilling experience in them. Will recommend this tourist spot, its cheap, not very crowded, and very enjoyable at night
MoreThis was once a beautiful property. I have had the honors to work here in the 70’s and was then, the most gorgeous grounds establishment you’ve ever laid your eyes on. The attention to details, from the entrance all the way to the back, was class act!!! It’s sad to see this place deteriorate. I wish someone would bring it back to its old glory.
MoreWARNING: Hindi na pwede pumasok pero may entrance fee and parking fee pa rin. Budol. Waste of time. Do not go here. There is nothing to see but you will still pay. PLACE IS CLOSED.
MoreWent with my friend and we were both scared. 😂 we decided to have a walk around since it’s not allowed to enter the building, we went there at 6pm so it was really dark and it was raining. The parking is 10 pesos and the entrance is 10 pesos too. What a great experience.
MoreStill under renovation when we visited. Area is very clean, youll enjoy a nature stroll without minding the eerie feeling of the place even when you know the history behind it
MoreLocation: 🌟🌟🌟 Quite far from the city and the jeepney will only take you halfway. I suggest you take a taxi or bring a private car. Going out is also a problem because its a secluded place and not many taxis will go up unless they are taking a passenger there. We had to walk for a bit in order to secure a taxi that will take us back to the city.Place: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I mean its a known ghosty area so expect eerie vibes from it haha. Quite cold on the downstairs area, but when we got to the rooftop, it was kind of humid. I didnt know why, considering the whole place was so foggy.I will definitely recommend this for those who are into these kinds of things. But be careful though, you might disturb those who are permanent residents there.
MoreWe love the plants around the vicinity. The building was closed when we visited and it was raining but still we enjoyed visiting and taking pictures around.10 pesos lang ang entrance fee and 5 pesos for children
MoreThis eerie abandoned building with a dark history is said to be one of the most haunted places in the Philippines.One of the best attractions in Baguio City!
MoreYou cant go inside the building, nice scenery and a haunted ambiance.
Simple and looks like its ravaged by war kind of ambiance from the movies. Quick visit. Really old style preserved and only the façade is allowed for pics, cant get in due to renovation. Theres entrance of 10 pesos for this outdoor pic. Theres 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, its tough to get a solo pic at lunch time with lots of passers, so come early.
MoreThis was the old Diplomat Hotel. It does not look scary when I went there coz there were a lot of people visited the are during the weekend. So.i.advised you to go during weekdays instead to avoid traffic. I think they are starting to renovate the place. It is close. You cant go inside the building.
MoreThis 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 dont mind the visitors🙃🙂🤞
Moreits an abundant building which is too old to live, but still with very nice out view.
MoreNot worth the hype, at least not at the time of day and when I went. It was very crowded and the building was temporarily closed to walk around inside and get a more creepy feel for this haunted building.We managed to get several nice pictures outside and around the building, and you can have a glance inside some of the opened windows. Maybe a night time experience with a small crowd will make for a better experience, otherwise it was fairly lacking for the 20 minutes or so we spent there.
MoreIt’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🥰🥰
MoreIve been here twice when I was just in high school. Theirs a lot of improvements in this hotel and also the name was recently change. The garden beside the building is quite a fantasy. It has a variety of plants and colorful flowers. The place was improving its like they are actually reviving the Hotel. Some pictures of the Hotel was hang on the wall so other people can read the history of this place. And my instincts tell me there is a big tunnel under the Hotel. I still believe that this hotel still holds the secrets of the history of the past. Because from what I know this Hotel was a home from a wealthy family up until it became a church then a hospital and becoming a hotel later on. Being a tourist in this place, youll expect that something weird youll see or hear scary noise. And some other cases you might smell some nasty stuff. And that means you might be experiencing a paranormal activity. Ill visit again soon to check on this matter.
MoreNice place but could not enter at the moment bec of falling debris from a recent earthquake.View from outside still great
MoreTourist attraction but you cant go inside anymore. The building is considered too old and fragile.
MoreNice place..but when we went here, the building was temporary close. Will be back here again.
MoreIt 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 "
MoreA very historic and quiet place. Been here twice already. It feels creepy and eerie everytime I go inside as the voices of other visitors slowly fades. However, this place is great for photo ops.
MoreAlthough we did not have the opportunity to go inside, we were able to enjoy ourselves outside. This is how you appreciate what you have in life, and we are all grateful for it.
MoreI love Baguio,so cool to be there,and the cold breeze of air and foggy weather is awesome,😍Heritage hill and nature are also great for relaxing and peace of mind.
MoreWanna 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 didnt 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 didnt experience such. Were outside the building.Well just go back sometime in the future to get this vibe.
MoreThe place was a bit crowded when we went in last March 20, 2022. Probably because its 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 its nice to take picture almost everywhere. Too bad we cannot go inside anymore not the same as 3 or 4 years ago. Overall wed love to go back here when its not that crowded anymore.
MoreNice to explore. Not scary as I thought. With the right shot many corners are insta-worthy.
MoreLast 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 5pmFollow to catch up with me and my reviews! ✈️
MoreA clean and quiet place, but you cannot enter the building due to the falling debris. Theres a small park where you can sit and relax. You cannot buy food and refreshments here.
MoreWhen we went here It’s close to public for a bit of rehabilitation. I hope the next time we came here we can explore the inside. You can take photo’s outside tho while it’s close to public
MoreWasnt able to go inside as its 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.
MoreThe 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 hotels second floor.
MoreThe small garden at the left side of the Old Diplomat Hotel is worth checking, especially when its 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.

MoreBeen here for many times. But still love to visit this place. Kinda scary and feels like a horror house to me. 👻
MoreCold and nice scenery. 5:30 the guards alarmed us that the place will be close at exactly 6pm. Theres 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.
MoreI 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
MoreNice hidden gem in Baguio. Its a breath of fresh air so to speak. Something to go to other than the usual go to places of Baguio
MoreI visited the place way back in 2017. The place was kinda normal to me, maybe it was because there were lots of people that time. The view was nice, though. I enjoyed my time while we were at the rooftop. I hope they could guard the place better to maintain the beauty of the place, because if I remember clearly, theres vandalism on some parts of the place.
MoreA 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 youre lucky, and the weather is great, you will also see Mount St. Tomas and Mt. Cabuyao.
