Baguio, since time immemorial, has been a top vacation destination. The cold weather makes it convenient to roam around during the day and explore the different sights and scenes in the city.
At night, though, when it can get too cold to bear, everyone’s out and about searching for a place where they could hunker down and hug a drink to warm up.
But given Baguio’s popularity, everyone else might be out thinking the same thing. So, the next time you’re spending the cold nights in the City of Pines, consider these hotel bars in Baguio so you don’t have to go too far anymore.

Room 601, the hotel’s newest bar, is an executive bar which not only provides exclusivity within its walls but also has a sumptuous menu to offer its patrons.
