Location is always key when traveling so if you’re staying in Baguio, it will be most convenient to stay near famous tourist spots and eat-out places so you don’t have to drive far or take a cab to get to where you need to be. Burnham Park and Session Road (where the famous Baguio Night Market is) are the most iconic spots in Baguio and where most dining establishments are so I highly recommend this area as a home base when you visit.
There are 4 hotel hotspots in this area:
- Lower Session Road/Night Market zone
- Upper Session Road/SM zone
- Victory Liner/Bus Station zone
- Kisad Road/Burnham Park zone
You just have to choose depending on which part you’d like to be near to.
Lower Session Road/Night Market Zone
Source: Sangguniang Panlungsod ng Baguio Facebook
Session Road was the place-to-be during the 70s, 80s, and 90s, so if you’ve noticed, this area in Baguio is where most of the old hotels are. It’s also where fastfoods are, such as Chowking, KFC, Mcdonald’s, and Jollibee, so if you’re on a tight budget, this will be the best place for you. There’s also a 7-Eleven along Session Road for your quick fixes. If you’re also planning to visit during the Panagbenga Festival, the parade passes through Session Road, and you have a higher chance of getting an excellent front seat.
Here are the list of hotels in this area in no particular order:

This zone which is towards Upper Session road and nearer SM Baguio is a great option if you prefer to be a few minutes walk to SM Baguio but still be within a stone’s throw away to Session Road and Burnham Park.

Their strawberry shortcake is a must-try!

The Victory Liner Bus Terminal is the main hub to get to Baguio. There are also other buses that heads for the city but Victory Liner is the most popular. Located in the central business district, the Victory Liner Bus Terminal, as far as I know only has one hotel nearby which is Microtel Wyndham Baguio. This is a great option for those who have a late evening arrival or early morning departure via the public buses.

The Orchard Hotel Baguio
Unlike most hotels in Baguio, I think you’ll find Orchard Hotel very photo-worthy to keep your social media accounts busy. Every nook is instragrammable and they also house one of the best Chinese restaurants in Baguio, found at the ground floor of the hotel. This 6-storey building has 62 rooms where you can choose from deluxe economy, supreme, premier and their more expensive loft rooms. I would pick their loft rooms if you’re traveling with family.

The Marian Kisad Hotel, originally known as Hotel Kisad, is a simple hotel that’s budget-friendly and suitable for families with small pets.
