The Hyatt Terraces Baguio, opened in 1976 as the Terraces Plaza Hotel, was a 12-storey hotel located along South Drive in Baguio, Philippines. It was the only five-star hotel outside the National Capital Region during its time until the hotel was destroyed during the 1990 Luzon earthquake.

History and Architecture

The Terraces Plaza Hotel was built during the Philippines' "hotel boom," opening in time for the World Bank-International Monetary Fund 1976 meeting of the Board of Governors, held in Manila.[1]

The architecture of Hyatt Terraces Plaza is characterized by a unique stepped design, with terraced levels cascading down, taking inspiration from the Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao. The Terrace wing also features a wide open atrium, with lush plants cascading down. This design not only provided panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and city, but also integrated the hotel seamlessly into the hilly terrain.

General Manager Heinrich Maulbecker of Hyatt Bangkok was tasked in 1978 to study the viability of converting the hotel to a Hyatt. Hyatt assumed management in 1979 and the hotel was rebranded as Hyatt Terraces Baguio. Maulbecker became the general manager of the Baguio hotel until the destruction of the hotel during the 1990 Luzon earthquake.[2]

It sustained the most serious damage among buildings in Baguio, with the hotel's terraced front wing collapsing and falling into the lobby area which caused the deaths of at least 50 people.[3][4]

Facilities

The hotel had three restaurants including a coffee shop: The Kaili Cafe, The Copper Gill, and the Hanazono Japanese Buffet. The hotel also had three bars: The Fireplace Bar, Gold Mine Disco Bar and The Kaili Bar located near the casino. In addition, the hotel had a casino, located at the other side of the atrium lobby, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, golf club, and a spa.[5]
