Daybeds and loungers line the rooftop lap pool, looking out over Casco Antiguo's church spires and tiled roofs.

Treatment rooms on the fourth floor of the Spanish Wing have carved wooden doors and tall arched windows.

Restaurant
American Bazaar
American comfort classics are served beneath ornate pressed-tin ceilings in the 1904 Beaux-Arts wing.
At the table
Capella pours drinks beside illuminated church towers on the roof, and El Santuario serves meals under vaulted stone arches.
How it began
A meticulous seven-year restoration united a 1688 Jesuit convent, an 18th-century university, and a 1904 department store into one property.
