About

The beautiful property on which The Carmelence View was built on runs along the Tagaytay ridge, in the heart of the city, along with the national highway. Because of the strategic location and rolling terrain of the property, The Carmelence View offers a central view of the lake and, on a clear day, affords a view of three bodies of water, namely, a part of Laguna Lake, Taal Lake and Batangas Bay (West Philippine Sea) plus unobstructed views of the mountains of Makiling, Makulot, Banahaw, the craggy range of Batulao and the outline of the mountains of Mindoro. The Carmelence View was named after one of the property's original landowners, the late Carmen Aguinaldo-Melencio, from whom the name "Carmelence" is a fusion of "Carmen" and "Melencio". She was the eldest daughter of the Philippine's first President, General Emilio Aguinaldo y Famy and was known to many as Doña Carmen, to friends and relatives as Mameng and to her grandchildren as Meme. She was married to the late Ambassador to Japan Jose P. Melencio who co-owned the property and whose marriage was blessed with two daughters: one a bar top-notcher who became one of the few female Supreme Court Justices of the Philippines, Mme. Ameurfina A. Melencio-Herrera and the other was the first female general surgeon of the Philippines, Dr. Emilina A. Melencio-Fernando MD, who completed her degree at Cornell University in New York. Passed on from generation to generation, the land on which the hotel sits is now owned by Meme's grandchildren who named the properties "Carmelence" to honor and express gratitude to their forebears.
