1. Hotel Luna (check discounted rates)

Touted as the “the first and only museum hotel in the Philippines,” it is the place to visit for anyone interested in Filipino artists. The mini museum displays the work of contemporary as well as master artists, including Juan Luna and BenCab. The hotel itself is appropriately a period piece, worthy of a four-star rating as hotels go, and the service and food are excellent. The focus is not so much on amenities as for the historic experience, but it is all good considering the location in the middle of Heritage Village!

If you want a feel of the Spanish era and don’t mind spending a bit more, this is a good place to feel it. Clients consistently give this hotel 4.5 out of 5 stars for the décor, cleanliness, friendly service, and excellent food. The most common complaint is the prices and occasional loss of power. Very young children and pets may not be a good idea.

2. Hotel Veneto de Vigan (check discounted rates)

This is a more conventional type of hotel in Vigan, although it is also remodeled from an old building. No museum, though, so it is more a place to stay than to visit. It is best advantage is its proximity to all the major tourist spots and commercial areas in Vigan. It is clean, comfortable, and the service is good. Many clients recommend the breakfast, which is ample, and it is considered a good place for families to stay. Clients consistently give it 4 out of 5 stars.

If you are looking for more affordable accommodations, this is probably a good hotel for your money. The rooms are clean and the breakfast is adequate. It is quite a small hotel, but it is close to the center of the city and has fast WiFi, so whatever it lacks on hotel amenities may be offset by its price and convenience. However, it is also a bit noisy, and parking is a problem.
