| Notes |
- Notes - Dubbed as the most famous hotel in Northern Luzon, the Baguio Pines Hotel was originally constructed as a medical center for the lowlanders. In 1906, the main building was leased to C.M. Jenkins who immediately transformed it into a first-class hotel where the general public could come for recuperarion or pleasure. Shown in photo is the most famous hotel in Northern Luzon. Originally constructed as a convalescent center to service sick and disabled persons from the lowlands, it was gradually expanded to accommodate visitors who were totally uninterested in medical services. Majority of these "tourists" were government employees and army officers who gravitated towards Baguio because of the campaign of the Department of Interior. In 1906, the Philippine Commission leased the main building to C. M. Jenkins who immediately transformed it into "a first-class" hotel where the general public could come for recuperation or pleasure.
