The Palace is the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines, located in the city of Baguio. Majestic Palace building was built in 1908 at the urging of former Governor-General William Cameron Forbes as a summer residence. He also gave her a name in honor of his estate in the U.S. state of New England. During the Second World war the Palace was seriously damaged and was almost completely rebuilt in 1947. Since it houses the office of the President during his visits to Baguio.

Over the years, the Palace hosted many international events, for example, in 1947 there was held a meeting of the Economic Council for Asia and the Far East, in 1948, a meeting of the world Agriculture organization of the UN, and in 1950 was held meeting of the members of the Union South-East Asia, better known as the Baguio Conference. In the Palace regularly hosts international conferences.

The Palace consists of a main building, built on a Grand scale, and a more modest guest house. They say that the main gate cast iron on the model of the main gate of Buckingham Palace in London. To get into the Palace for a regular tourist, of course, impossible, but you can visit the small Palace Museum, which houses the personal belongings of former Philippine presidents.
