You always feel welcome at Hotel Dominique. It almost comes as a pleasant surprise, as one would realize—it has been there all along, and yet seemingly tucked away and barely noticed by many, considering that it’s been there since February of 2003. It has a down-to-earth friendly facade that greets one like home, but then its strength as a hospitality establishment is gradually revealed as one stays longer.

The fresh interiors will eventually catch the eye, as they emerge from the visibly heavier vintage frames. And with this shifting of readjustment of aesthetic views, it seems so too do points of view on life. Stress and worries seem to suddenly fade shortly upon entrance, as if it were a gateway to a special getaway.

Rated 3-star hotel by the Department of Tourism, Hotel Dominique comes out as a gem for immersion tourists and welcome luxury to a whole new view of Tagaytay.
