Everybody knew something was up when the first-ever mid-rise structure was built along the city’s magnificently scenic ridge. Barely one year in operation, Summit Ridge Tagaytay (SRT) has received more and more casual tourists and business travelers looking for a new idyllic retreat in Tagaytay.
With its advantage of having all rooms facing the scenic Taal Lake, the hotel has been gaining constant attention — not only locally, but outside of Philippine shores. With increasing inquiries from overseas, Robinsons Land Corp. (RLC), the owner and operator of Summit Ridge, has opted to make the property more accessible by intensifying its online business. Now there are more opportunities to book different packages through the Internet in very easy steps.
Last July 16 to July 31, an exclusive online promo allowed guests to book their rooms for as low as P2,988 nett, for stay anytime between Aug. 1 to Sept. 30. “This online promotion allowed our guests who wanted to enjoy the all year round cool weather of Tagaytay to book at their own convenience with the use of a credit card and a click of their finger,” says Cora Ang Ley, SRT’s general manager. She adds that similar promos are already on the pipeline for those who prefer to advance their reservation process in one complete transaction on their own computers at their most convenient time. Promo announcements for the holidays and next year’s major celebrations like the New Year, Valentine’s season and Holy Week will also be made via the Internet.
Full service hotel in the heart of Tagaytay
Adding to Summit Ridge’s offers of supreme comfort, weekenders can soon expect the ultimate relaxation getaway when the hotel’s spa opens at the 2nd floor by November of this year. “To ensure that our guests are truly able to pamper themselves at Summit Ridge Tagaytay, we sought a reputable spa operator and put together a new spa facility that will offer massage therapies not only in the guest’s room, but also in tranquil and ambient massage rooms,” says Ang Ley.
One can also lounge around the outdoor infinity pool and be soothed by the breathtaking surroundings. Those looking to complete their fitness regime can get a vigorous work-out at the well-equipped gym, also located at the second floor. Guests can also gear up for a match at SRT’s spacious indoor badminton and basketball court.
SRT also provide not only wellness services and facilities at the guests’ convenience, but also allows guests to avail of special golf packages. Guests can also join a tour that reveals all the wonders of Tagaytay, or hie off to the Taal volcano. Reservations for the city tour, Taal trekking, and use of golf course can be made through the hotel front desk.
Ideal venue for conventions
and special occasions
Aside from constantly enhancing its weekend offerings, Summit Ridge has also become a popular choice to celebrate special occasions. The grand interiors of the hotel function rooms complete the dreamlike atmosphere best for weddings, birthdays, and other important events. Another perfect venue would be the hotel’s Sky Lounge at the 10th floor, which provides a breathtaking view of Taal Lake and Taal Volcano.
“SRT’s wedding packages include an overnight stay and breakfast in bed for two, one day event management services, three layered fondant cake, doves in a decorated cage, complete PA and sound system. We also offer customized care to several other details that require no less than perfection on your special day, including centerpieces, menu cards, guest books and much more. Relatives and friends attending the event get hotel discounts, as does the couple on their first wedding anniversary,” says Ang Ley.
The high-ceilinged ballroom, function rooms and training rooms are also equipped with modern facilities including an overhead projector that can flash videos and presentations on built-in wide screens. “The Summit Learning Center, the 425-square meter convention facility, can seat up to 140 persons, the first and only one of its kind in Tagaytay. Inside the Summit Learning Center, there are individual desks with their own lamps and electric outlets.”
