There has been so much buzz about the recent opening of an intriguing hotel in the quiet side of the Tagaytay-Nasugbu road which makes me remember that one of my cousins and former neighbors happen to get a job there as one of its staff as evidenced by his bevy of posts and shares on my Facebook news feed. This makes me wonder what makes Twin Lakes Hotel different from numerous hotels sprawling around one of the coolest and arguably the most peaceful city in the Philippines until I learned more about it from Inquirer Business. 

For starters, Twin Lakes Hotel is owned by Global Estate Resorts Inc., a subsidiary of Megaworld Corporation, and you have to believe that it took about Php1.5 billion for GERI to make the move on such an interesting buzzkill. Moving on, it is operated by another Megaworld subsidiary Global One Hotels Group which also manages its own homegrown brands of its kind which include Belmont and Savoy. Combining with the Filipino-style brand of hospitality and the expertise of a renouned local property giant, Twin Lakes Hotel is bringing the old nostalgic European vibe not only to Batangas but to in and out of Southern Luzon as well.

The hotel is situated within the integrated tourism estate development of Twin Lakes, a premium property that seeks to refine the local tourism landscape with its quaint commercial strip, romantic ambiance and Instagram-worthy spots, unparalled views of the famous Taal Lake and Taal Volcano, and a ten-hectare vineyard that is slated to bring Europe's revered wine making traditions in our shores. And that vineyard is at the backyard of no less than, if you guessed it right, Twin Lakes Hotel which is presumably the first in the Philippines. Aside from the vineyard, there is also more of what makes this buzzkill of a hotel one to enjoy the most of your Holy Week vacation.

Apart from the usual amenities that can be at par with other hotels and resorts, there are two features that make Twin Lakes Hotel unique and special for local and foreign travelers to enjoy. On one hand there is the Twin Lakes Shopping Village where guests can shop, dine and unwind in a curated row of restaurants and shops which includes what is regarded as "the most beautiful Starbucks branch in the Philippines" par none. On the other hand, there will be a chapel complementing the scenic ambience of nature and Tagaytay's cool climate which should make a perfect wedding destination for couples.

Added to the overwhelming number of features and amenities is the fact that it has already been recognized prior to its grand opening. Twin Lakes Hotel was named the Best Hotel Development in the Philippines at the 2018 Asia Property Awards in Bangkok, Thailand and the 2018 Philippine Property Awards for its exemplary design, location and huge potential for tourism. As of the moment, only 40 out of 122 rooms are being offered to the public but we should expect all rooms to become available by February 2019.

Many hotel aficionados believe that Twin Lakes Hotel in Tagaytay City will be a game changer in not only the Philippine hotel industry, but also in one of the coolest cities in the country to enjoy and hang out considering that it has been enjoying a fair share of guests every day. Despite facing tough competition, Twin Lakes Hotel may be the right place for every tourist to be added in their list mostly due to its unique offerings. Well, let's just wait and see about that.
