In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Getsemaní's narrow colonial streets surround the property, and the historic walled city is a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms keep their high timber ceilings alongside antique furnishings and pastel oak, with windows facing the courtyard or the street.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop pool is lined with blue porcelain and Cristanac tiles, set beside sun loungers looking across Getsemaní.
The spa
Draped treatment tables sit on a shaded rooftop terrace, where massages and facials take place in the open air.
Restaurant
Clero Restaurante
The kitchen prepares fresh Caribbean seafood under exposed brick arches, and drinks arrive from a golden mirrored bar.
Bar
Terraza Abadesa
Wicker barstools sit beneath a thatched canopy on this upper rooftop terrace, looking out toward the historic city walls.
