Chimaltenango Department Vacations & Trips from $529

Under the Arch, Within the City Set beneath Antigua’s iconic arch, Hotel Convento Santa Catalina places you exactly where the city begins to breathe. Step outside and everything is near. Step inside and it softens—gardens, quiet corners, a pause from the street. Rooms are simple, spacious, and comfortable. The staff moves with quiet efficiency, arranging what you need before you ask—like our transfer to Lake Atitlán, handled with ease. In the days before Semana Santa, the city hums a little longer. By ten, it begins to fade; and sometimes, in the quiet hours, distant bells would wake us—we’d count the rings, then slip back into sleep. A stay defined not by excess, but by balance—location, calm, and the feeling of being exactly where you should be.

The staff were very courteous. I enjoyed my stay. For the price and area this was a very good accommodation.

Clean room and good location. Variety of experiences with staff from friendly to lacking ‘warmth’. Choice of breakfast food decreased during our stay.

The food was outstanding. Very fresh, very creative and very tasty. The room was lovely with amazing bedding. We enjoyed a huge tub as well. It was clean and well appointed. The staff were great - helpful and friendly. There was a guitarist that played through dinner and then again in the morning while we had breakfast. It really set a calm mood.

Beautiful property with incredibly friendly staff. There is a convenient tienda right next to the property, and the walk down to the main square is short and easy. The location felt perfect for exploring Antigua. The complimentary breakfast was fantastic, and the coffee is the perfect start for your adventure into the city. I will absolutely stay here again on my next visit.
