9.4/10 Exceptional! (699 reviews)

Nice property centrally located. Good dining options. Spa was disappointing. We took complimentary 30mins spa service and one more treatment which was wrong call. They have spa at the hotel but I do not recommend, never have I felt so worse after spa day. Staff are nice but not well trained for spa services. Overall we had pleasant stay, besides spa. Bonus point they have free flowing tea and hot water.

Calle Jaen

Stroll along this picturesque street to admire its colonial architecture and visit museums dedicated to Bolivian history, musical instruments and gold.

This fascinating museum is situated along Calle Jaén, one of the most attractive streets in La Paz. I stumbled upon it completely by accident and decided to have a look inside simply because the entry fee was so cheap (5 bolivianos/42p). I'm so glad I did. Every single musical instrument you could possibly imagine
