Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Santa Rosa City offers several distinct points of interest for a stay: city history, the Sikhayan Festival, the Enchanted Kingdom theme park, and PansEAT, considered one of the city’s oldest restaurants. These themes give a stay different points of focus.

Sikhayan Festival and City History

The 27th edition of the Sikhayan Festival was celebrated on January 18, 2026, at the tennis court of the City of Santa Rosa Multi-Purpose Complex. In the street-dance competition at this edition, six groups from various private schools interpreted the city’s culture, history, and traditions through dance. The competition is an annual highlight of the Sikhayan Festival in the City of Santa Rosa. If the competition is a deciding factor for your trip, check the event dates in advance; the edition mentioned here took place on January 18, 2026.

The city’s history can also be seen in its buildings and architectural heritage. The Sta. Rosa de Lima Parish Church in the City of Santa Rosa was built in 1792. Along Zavalla Street stand Spanish and American ancestral houses that contribute to the city’s historical significance. This gives visitors interested in history two distinct points of reference: a single building with a precisely dated origin and several ancestral houses along one street. The difference between the dated church and the houses on the street helps visitors view the city’s history from different perspectives.

The City of Santa Rosa is also represented by the Sta. Rosa Arch and the Museum of the City of Santa Rosa. The Arch is considered a landmark and symbol of the City of Santa Rosa’s identity; the museum houses historical artifacts. Each points to a different form of cultural heritage: one is a symbol of urban identity, the other a collection of historical artifacts. For planning a stay focused on culture and history, this look at the city symbol and museum collection complements the architectural history.

Leisure and Local Cuisine

Enchanted Kingdom offers a different focus. The theme park is located in San Lorenzo South, City of Sta. Rosa, Laguna, and features attractions, shows, and restaurants. This combination distinguishes the park from the historical points of interest: here, the focus is on different types of leisure activities. If you are more interested in entertainment than city history when choosing a destination, the park is a concrete reason to consider Santa Rosa City. Its offerings can already be distinguished from the historical points of interest by their themes.

PansEAT adds a culinary dimension. The restaurant is considered one of the oldest in the City of Santa Rosa. A Filipino meal was served at a lunch at PansEAT. For visitors who want to include local cuisine alongside city history and leisure, this offers a distinct point of interest.
