Vintage-themed cool down.
by Meryl Medel | June 04, 2020
Rain or shine, the heat in the Philippines is unrelenting. That’s why a lot of people flock to places in higher altitudes like Tagatay, Antipolo, and of course, the Summer Capital of the Philippines, Baguio. There’s definitely a lot of places you could choose for your next stay there, but these vintage lodgings will bring you closer to the city’s history, as well as make your trip perfectly Instagrammable.
The Old Orangewood Bed & Breakfast

Originally a vacation home for an American family in the 1930s, this old house eventually became the hub of an international missionary organization, as well as a school and dormitory for the missionaries’ children. It then went on to become the house of a businessman and even a mock hotel where HRM students practiced their skills. Now, this humble abode serves as a bed and breakfast for visitors looking for a laidback, cozy, home-feel atmosphere — but you know, cooler.
