"Set on the outskirts of Antigua’s cobbled downtown, this elegant 15-room boutique hotel offers a picture-perfect view of Volcán de Agua, one of three volcanoes that frame the colonial Guatemalan town. The property is part of the Relais & Chateaux group; as such, the service is more concierge-style and upscale. The in-house team can book bespoke experiences for guests, from an on-site tasting journey of local varietals of maíz through bite-size dishes to a natural dye workshop with a local textile studio. Most suites come with private balconies or enclosed gardens with firepits, while the greenhouse-style restaurant centers on elevated presentations of regional and Indigenous Guatemalan ingredients. —Michaela Trimble" - Jamie Spain
