LE MONET HOTEL OF BAGUIO CITY: OF LUXURY AND COMFORT
Refreshing scents of pines
makes one to be rejuvenated by nature.
Isn’t it everyone’s dream to
wake up one morning with the sliding door to the balcony half-opened as the drop
of the curtains sway with the gentle breeze of the wind amidst a landscape of
towering and scenic pine trees and mountains?
I did so. It was an imagination so I thought that came
into reality as we stayed for three days at one of the luxurious hotels of Camp
John Hay, Baguio City – the Le Monet Hotel.
The changing lights of glass
chandeliers greeted us as we went directly to the reception area for check-in. It felt like a grand welcome.
Alone and lonely are
antonyms in my so-called vocabulary. And
I was alone in my room during the first night as my roommates were still en
route from Manila, though I had the company of great travel buddies commencing
an unforgettable affair in one December at Baguio City.
We stayed in a Deluxe Twin
room. (check room rates and other room types) The room is so spacious with a
balcony that gives a relaxing ambiance provided by the aligned pine trees and
mountains of Baguio City.
The buffet meals were a
constant rendezvous for our group on the duration of our stay not to mention
the karaoke and mandatory drinking
sprees attached. Everyday was a feast.
The hotel has all the modern
facilities and amenities that every sojourner and tourist desires. Surprisingly, with the cold weather especially
in the uplands of Camp John Hay, there is a heated indoor swimming pool. How about a plunge with the scenic pine trees
that surround as backdrop?
Camp John Hay is a
destination in itself at Baguio City.
Having stayed at Le Monet Hotel is a perfect advantage to define what it
means to visit Baguio City. Just beside
the hotel is the Filling Station, a strip of popular restaurants that serves
varied Asian cuisine. For those who love
to shop and buy souvenirs, a walking distance as well is the Mile Hi Center,
selling branded items at discounted prices.
And for the adventure seekers, like our group, there is the
Paintball Republic. This fun and
colorful combat game is gaining popularity in Baguio City, which we failed to
experience on account of time constraints and the love to just sit back and
relax at the hotel. But there’s always a
next time.
The Lobby, dining area of Le
Monet Hotel, has been our daily meeting place.
It offers traditional and modern cuisine with a charming ambiance. Replica works of the famed French painter,
Claude Oscar Monet, are likewise on display with a grasp of Baguio City’s
outdoors and scenery made possible through the glass walls that abounds.

I am not a morning person and I can count the number of times I had breakfast in a year. But breakfast at Le Monet Hotel is a willing exception. From classic Filipino to Western breakfast staples, they served it gastronomically appealing not to mention ambrosial. One of Le Monet’s specialties is their version of Eggs Benedict. And it did not disappoint.
Before we leave, we
dropped by the bakeshop of Le Monet Hotel and sampled on a few pastries and
bread.
Personalized service and
hospitality beyond compare is what Le Monet Hotel offers. For the duration of the stay, the staff
became inevitably a family to us.
Luxury and comfort goes hand
in hand at Le Monet Hotel. Truly, it was
a pleasant treat of a stay at Baguio City.
