Loved by guests
"The ornate main courtyard was just outside the door, with several tables along the periphery for breakfast."
"I loved how convenient it is to everything (literally right beside Santa Catalina Arch), and yet you feel like you are tucked away."
"The common areas - luscious gardens peppered with art and cozy seating - are the perfect respite from the bustling streets of Antigua."

This is a rare combination: immediate access to the city's vibrant pulse paired with a serene, almost otherworldly escape.”
