SM City Baguio is an enclosed shopping mall in Baguio City in the Philippines. At a floor area of 105,331(m²), it is the largest shopping mall in the region. The entire complex stands on a land area of 80,000(m²) on Luneta Hill on top of Session Road overlooking historic Burnham Park and opposite Baguio's City Hall which is situated on a northern hill.

The mall was formally opened on November 21, 2003. It is also the first SM Supermall to not use an Air-conditioning System. The mall is one of two SM Supermalls that make use of natural lighting. It is also the only SM which does not have an airconditioned common area. The site of the mall was once occupied by the Pines Hotel, which burned down.

Attractions

Being the biggest mall and one of the largest buildings in Baguio City, it houses more stores, entertainment centers as well as shops than any other mall located in the city. The cruise ship-patterned mall is surrounded by towering pine trees and beautiful lush gardens. The accessible stores are roofed with translucent white fiber enabling sunlight to illuminate the inside on a clear sunny day. Also, the verandas overlook the whole city, giving the best view of the city's tourist attractions, such as the Burnham Park & its Lake, the City Hall, the Athletic Bowl, as well as the Session Road.
