In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Plaza Poeta Alfonso Canales places you at the edge of Soho, two hundred meters from Calle Larios and Muelle Uno.
The rooms
Vivid stripes in turquoise, forest green, and navy line the walls, balanced by white marble floors and subway-tiled bathrooms.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A small plunge pool sits on the wooden rooftop deck, surrounded by sun loungers facing the port.

A brightly lit fitness room with wall mirrors provides cardio machines and free weights around the clock.
Bar

Intricate blue tilework lines the rooftop cocktail bar, with high-top tables looking across the water and city hills.

Morning buffet spreads run until noon, and outdoor tables sit under wide parasols overlooking the marina.
How it began

Restored eighteenth- and nineteenth-century facades frame the property, positioning it directly between the arts-centric Soho quarter and the historic port entrance.
