At the table
Guests share long timber tables beneath terracotta pendants for breakfast, and the bar counter opens onto the central courtyard.
Good Hotel is a design-forward stay with a big heart. Dutchman Martin Dresen invests 100% of Good Hotel profits into powering education for Guatemalan children from low-income families.
How it began
After founding a children's charity, Marten Dresen bought the ruined mansion in 2014 to finance education through hospitality.
