Taal Vista Hotel
About
The classic Tagaytay postcard view, served with history! Taal Vista Hotel has stood on the ridge since 1939, and its wide lawn and view deck look straight down at Taal Lake and Volcano Island. Settle in for coffee or a long lunch at the hotel restaurants, take a heritage walk around the Tudor-style main building, then line up for your own photo at the famous view deck. Stay for sunset, when the lake turns gold and the breeze gets chilly. It is a favorite for proposals, family celebrations and slow dates. Come on a clear morning for the sharpest look at the volcano!
