In the heart of Casco Viejo, the first hotel built but you could not tell as it has been remodeled. A lot of history. The place is beautiful and well maintained. We went on a sailing trip for 2 days and the held our bags at no extra cost. The staff is great and the restaurant in the back is absolutely delicious! Lots of great restaurants around as well. There is a Speakeasy nearby called Villa Ana 1928, second floor above the restaurant, don’t miss it!
