Boutique Hotels in Antigua Guatemala

The property is beautifully landscaped and has a few small museums. The room was spacious and comfortable and the breakfast was absolutely delicious.

We absolutely loved this hotel! It is without a doubt one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. I loved how convenient it is to everything (literally right beside Santa Catalina Arch), and yet as soon as you pass through the gate you feel like you are tucked away in a tranquil and private oasis with a beautiful secret garden in the central courtyard. Each room in this hotel is different and some are larger than others. We were not able to stay in the same room both nights due to availability, which gave us a chance to experience two different rooms: room 1 and room 3. Room 1 was absolutely amazing. It is huge and has high, vaulted ceilings and a large fireplace and sitting area. The bathroom is set apart around the corner and the shower also has a vaulted ceiling, chandelier, and skylight. Everything felt very grand. I appreciated the makeup mirror that was provided so I could get ready without turning on all the lights and waking up my husband. Room 3 is still very nice but smaller and less grand than Room 1 (it doesn’t have a vaulted ceiling or separate sitting area in front of the fireplace). If we had stayed in Room 3 first I think we would have loved it, but it was a bit of a letdown coming from the huge and extravagant Room 1. With that said, Room 3 is not right on the central courtyard, so it feels a little quieter and more private. I think every other room is on the main courtyard, aside from the big suite (which is just beyond Room 3 in its own courtyard). The San Rafael is a small hotel (I think there are only 6 or 7 rooms) and it feels very intimate and boutique-like. A few other pluses about this hotel: First, I really loved taking breakfast outdoors in the courtyard surrounded by the beautiful garden, and second, it felt very safe. The gate locked behind you when you walked out on the street so even in broad daylight you still had to ring a doorbell to get in. At night, there is a door and a gate. All told, we absolutely loved this hotel.

The privacy of the place and the location, was very nice

Great service, location, nice colonial views in the hotel. The food at the restaurant was also exceptional including the live music.

Room was spacious and beds were very comfortable. The hotel had a hot tub but we did not try it, it did seem to get crowded at night time.

We had a fabulous stay here really lovely room and you could light the fire when cold in the morning Hotel was amazing as were the staff It was walkable to all the sights restaurants etc You had sweets delivered to your room every night We had the opportunity to have breakfast on the terrace on our last morning and we could see the volcano Would recommend staying here it is expensive but if you like a bit of luxury All staff friendly and always said hello

Beautiful, clean, high standards, helpful.

Absolutely loved this place!! Our 'room' was a two-story private apartment, with a full living room and kitchen in addition to the bathroom and two bedrooms. It was so lovely and we were super comfortable, and the staff was super helpful.

We loved that our room had a seperate second room offering privacy. We were surprised by the hot tub and sauna. We also liked that our main bedroom had a door out to a balconey. Also liked that they had free water and jaimaica water downstairs. Water pressure in the bathroon/shower was awesome.

The staff was so welcoming! Unfortunately, we arrived on Palm Sunday and during Semana Santa when so many of the streets were blocked off. Monica was so wonderful in trying to help us get everything sorted. Oscar was also so lovely and friendly. The hotel is in a centrally located part of Antigua, within walking distance to many of the main city attractions. The hotel itself is charming and beautifully designed where you feel as though you're entering your own little city oasis. There's also a beautiful little rooftop deck where you see Volcan Agua on a clear day. The included breakfast was great and provided a menu with a fair variety of options to choose from.
