El Convento Boutique Hotel
The Hotel
Unforgettable vacations begin here at El Convento Boutique Hotel in La Antigua Guatemala.
El Convento is a luxurious and elegant boutique hotel located adjacent to a famous convent dating to the 18th century. While the building is new, it has been carefully designed and styled to accurately reflect a traditional period building. The hotel is focused on personalized attention and refine service. Its on-site award-winning restaurant features cuisine that fuses Antigua’s traditional dishes with Italian and French gastronomy.
The Suites
The stunning suites at El Convento Boutique Hotel are wonderfully evocative of an earlier time, while still offering the most contemporary comforts. All 26 suites are named after noteworthy people and places here in Antigua Guatemala and the surrounding area. Most surround a central courtyard, punctuated by a century-old Tempixque tree. While each and every suite is distinct, all feature warm, soothing décor, bespoke furnishings, and unique local art and artistry. Some suites include fireplaces, tranquil private gardens, or terraces with Jacuzzis; sleek bathrooms offer rain showers and are stocked with premium L’Occitane bath products. Free Wi-Fi access and 42-inch flat-screen TVs with cable allow you to stay as connected as you wish – although we hope you will take some time to unplug while you’re here, and enjoy the serenity of your surroundings.
Places to Visit
Cerro de La Cruz:
Don’t miss out on breathtaking views of La Antigua from this hill, which can be accessed by a police escort from Parque Central. The “cruz” refers to a large stone cross, installed on the hill in 1930.
Santa Catalina’s Arch:
One of Antigua’s favorite landmarks, this arch was originally built in the 17th century, with the clock tower portion added in the 1830s when Antigua was part of the Central American Federation.
Portal de Las Panaderas:
Spanish for the “Bakery Arcade”, this corridor is home to several cafes, where delicious bread, pastries, and coffee can be purchased.
Tanque la Unión:
This colorful public building was designed as a gathering place for socializing and doing laundry. Originally built in 1853, it was restored in 1979 and is still used today for its original purpose.
