Casa Santo Domingo

Hotel Casa Santo Domingo | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located 45 minutes from the international airport, this former friary is "filled with beauty, history, and luxury—every corner has an eye-catcher. It's a treat." Rooms have fireplaces and wood-beamed ceilings and are simply decorated with earth-tone furniture. The place has "a museum quality"; indeed, the hotel's museum exhibits a collection of colonial items including sculptures and silver religious objects found on the site. El Refectorio serves local and international dishes at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. At El Tenedor de Cerro, tamer choices such as pasta and pizza come with views of the volcanoes Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. "The food and the staff are wonderful."
