"A foliage-filled hotel that marries contemporary minimalism with historic colonial architecture, featuring a lush courtyard café serving artisanal coffee and light bites. Rooms are calmly appointed with locally crafted decor, neutral palettes, polished concrete floors, and wooden accents that emphasize serenity. The building itself dates back to the early colonial era (built in 1529) and originally served as a parish, giving the stay a deep sense of historical context while remaining conveniently located in the city center." - Austa Somvichian-Clausen Austa Somvichian-Clausen Austa Somvichian-Clausen is a travel and lifestyle journalist living in New York City.
