It must have looked magnificent then, I thought as I gazed at what once
have been Diplomat Hotel, that imposing white building up Cabinet Hill. The
deserted sanctuary--with its rooms empty of everything aside from some sporadic
graffiti, the mold that has crept on its crumbling walls and ceiling, its
leaking roof forming a puddle on the main lobby's floor--still has that faint whiff
of grandeur that often lingers in the ruins of previously grand but are now
deserted places.
Intrigued by the mystery that surrounds it, my sister and I visited
Diplomat Hotel on our last trip to Baguio City. I did not sense anything odd
while we were there, contrary to reports of sightings of ghosts and other
paranormal activity. Like other desolate places, it looked sad to me, and not creepy
as some people attest.

It must have been grand back then. It does look sad. Does the city have any plans to revive it?
