SOPHISTICATED BOUTIQUE HOTEL
A tranquil respite in the heart of Antigua and just two-blocks from the city鈥檚 central park and cathedral. The San Rafael Hotel is a sophisticated boutique hotel and the ideal base for exploring the cobbled streets of Antigua.
The San Rafael Hotel offers seven thoughtfully designed rooms in a beautifully renovated colonial home. Each room is unique; design elements include four-poster beds, sky lights, hand-carved wooden furniture, stone fireplaces, antique crystal chandeliers, traditional Guatemalan fabrics, and generous bathrooms (some with sunken tubs; others with custom-painted tile showers).
Carefully landscaped courtyards boast Italian cypresses, fig trees, native plants, and gurgling fountains. An indulgent, complimentary breakfast is served overlooking the gardens.
The San Rafael Hotel is an elegant home for those looking to explore the colonial town of Antigua. Explore the cobbled stone streets of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the beautiful churches, arches and plazas or venture further afield and discover the surrounding coffee plantations and volcanoes.
