The Property — Silvertone Inn
Silvertone Inn feels like a practical base camp for Baguio exploration: clean lobby, tiled floors, a front desk that hands you a key without fanfare. The rooms are basic but solid – think firm beds, hot water that works, and windows that frame pine trees rather than city smog. It suits independent travellers who want a no-nonsense place to sleep after a day of walking Session Road or the nearby Burnham Park. There’s no restaurant, but the location on Upper Session Road means you’re a short, steep walk from coffee shops and the public market.
Chronicles of Baguio
Baguio was founded in 1900 by American colonial planners as a summer capital, escaping Manila’s heat. Architect Daniel Burnham laid out the city with wide, orderly streets, parks, and a central lake – a rare grid system in the Philippines. The city grew as a hill station for expats and wealthy Filipinos, with the Grand Old Days of the 1920s cementing its identity as a ‘pine city’. Today, Baguio balances its colonial-era charm with a bustling student and tourist population, famous for strawberries, ukay-ukay (thrift shopping), and the Panagbenga Flower Festival.
Best Time to Visit
Full Baguio guide →Best months
February and March offer the best weather: dry, sunny days (17–24°C) and cool nights. April stays dry but can be hotter; November has similar coolness but occasional drizzle. Avoid December–January unless you enjoy heavy rain and crowded public transport.
Peak / festival surge
February is the Panagbenga month, with parades and flower floats filling the city. Hotel prices can double, and Silvertone Inn typically sells out weeks in advance. Book by November for 2026; expect noise along Session Road.
Budget shoulder season
May and June offer lower rates and thinner crowds. The weather is still tolerable (20–27°C) with afternoon showers. Go for decent deals and fewer queues at tourist spots. September is similar, but roads from Manila may be mudslide-prone.
Weather & packing
Baguio’s climate flips from sunny to drizzly in an hour – July 2026 will be wet, with 22°C highs. Pack a waterproof jacket with a hood and sturdy walking shoes; leave umbrellas (they flip in the wind) and flip-flops (too slippery on wet pavement).
Live City Briefing — Baguio
- The Baguio City Hall announced in May 2026 that Session Road will be pedestrian-only on Sundays until end of July, with jeepneys rerouted to Magsaysay Avenue. Check the city’s Facebook page for weekly closures.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Silvertone Inn, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 4 to 7 at the back of the building (away from the main road). These upper floors reduce street noise from Session Road traffic and offer better ventilation.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on floors 1 and 2, especially those facing the street, as they pick up traffic rumble and footfall from the entrance. Also avoid rooms near the lift shaft on any floor if you’re a light sleeper.
Best views
Ask for a room on the upper floors (6 or 7) at the back of the hotel: you’ll get a view over the rooftops and the pine trees of Burnham Park, not the main road.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 to 7 are quietest: high enough to escape street noise and away from ground-floor common areas.
🔊 Noise notes
Silvertone Inn is on Session Road, Baguio’s main commercial strip, so expect daytime traffic, jeepney horns, and evening crowds. The adjacent Marbay Building has a bus stop that can cause early-morning noise.
Insider tips
Parking is tight—get there before 3pm to snag a space, or use the valet. Check-in can be slow on weekends; arrive after 2pm to avoid the queue. If you’re sensitive to cold, request a room on a higher floor (heat rises) and bring a blanket.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
