Outside the door
Candlelit colonial casona
Behind heavy wooden doors, this restored colonial casona unfolds around quiet courtyards illuminated by dozens of candles each evening.
Where it shines
Notable
Restored eighteenth-century colonial architecture framed by traditional cloistered courtyards and antique woodwork.
Notable
Handwoven Maya backstrap-loomed cotton textiles and morning breakfasts with handmade corn tortillas.
What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
the seven suites are well-maintained and modern in function if not in style — the comforts may be contemporary but the look is decidedly old-world.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set four blocks south of Parque Central, the quiet cobblestone street provides clear rooftop views toward three surrounding volcanoes.
The rooms
Wood-burning fireplaces are lit nightly in each room, warming antique four-poster beds dressed in handwoven Mayan cotton textiles.
The lap pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A temperature-controlled lap pool sits in the central stone courtyard beneath vine-draped wooden pillars.
Restaurant
Rooftop Terrace
Morning coffee and fresh fruit arrive on the open-air deck against views of Volcán de Agua.
At the table
Inside the stone dining salon, breakfast is served beneath a chandelier beside a working fireplace.
How it began
Opened in 1993 as one of the town's pioneering boutique retreats, the inn famously hosted Bill Clinton during his 1997 visit.
