Modern Luxury and Nature Come Together at This Boutique Stay
by Andrea JuanilloIt's easy to surrender to the sweet pleasures that Baguio can offer—the fresh cold mountain air, the earthy smell of pine trees, and the peacefulness of nature's stillness, to name a few.
Luckily, Grand Sierra Pines is where you can bask in nature's surroundings as it cocoons you in a sweet haven of solace. Situated in a quiet area along Outlook Drive, this low-key boutique gem offers all the modern luxuries you need for a restful and laid-back vacation. The facilities are pristine and the staff is always there to extend warm hospitality. None of it, however, is too grandiose. Rather, it errs more on the cozy side that allows you to feel at home the moment you check in.
All 61 rooms in Grand Sierra Pines come with their own private balcony to relish the cool weather of Baguio and admire the great view of the vicinity. Foggy mornings are best spent out on the balcony catching the cool breeze as the sun rises, with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee in hand.
Their popular Superior Rooms come with two single beds and individually controlled ceiling fan and AC for an extra touch of convenience.
Grand Sierra Pines strikes the perfect balance between understated luxury and at-home coziness. Perfect for families and a group of friends, the loft-type Family Rooms come with a king-size bed and two to three single beds at the loft. Each floor also has a balcony that provides a scenic view of the vicinity and enjoy the cold Baguio air too.
