The Mansion Tourism

The Mansion in Baguio is a prominent historical residence where the Philippine president stays during official visits to the region. The building, exuding an aura of elegance and refined taste, stands as an impressive piece of architecture with a unique blend of Spanish Colonial Revival and elaborately designed gardens that harmonize with the cool climate of Baguio. The majestic gates, reminiscent of London’s Buckingham Palace, add to the stately charm, while its well-kept lawns serve as a popular foreground for tourist photographs. The Mansion also holds historical significance, having been built in 1908 and used as the summer residence of U.S. Governors-General during the American colonial era. The edifice was destroyed during World War II but was later reconstructed in 1947. Public access is limited to the grounds and a small museum within, housing presidential memorabilia. The Mansion's location along Leonard Wood Road makes it easily accessible and a must-visit when in Baguio, complementing other nearby attractions such as the Mines View Park and Wright Park.
