| The cozy interior |
The Cordillera Inn, formerly
the Casa de Don Gaspar de Bartolome, was built between 1871-1900 and is one of
many ancestral homes in the city turned into cozy hotels and pension
houses.
Located at the heart of
cobblestoned Mena Crisologo St. (parking is not allowed here, park at the rear
of the hotel) and the city's Heritage Village, near Plaza Burgos, it is
surrounded by lots of quaint antique shops and coffee shops serving Ilocano fare.
The large, pleasant reception
area, with its stone floor, huge, round center table and antique lamps on the
walls, adjoins the small congenial in-house restaurant which serves authentic
Ilocano cuisine.
The inn has 23 airconditioned family rooms with four-poster beds, private bath
and cable TV (PhP1,500). The inn's original rooms have been divided
to create these smaller rooms, especially with the standard rooms. Some
rooms have no windows. Their decor is simple and sober. A large staircase leads
to the rooms on the upper floors.
