WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

Sleep amidst the ruins of the former Santo Domingo Convent, a colonial treasure reduced to rubble following the devastating earthquake of 1773! The Casa Santo Domingo is a landmark hotel and living museum that showcases the convent’s unique baroque architecture and picturesque gardens that defined its former colonial glory. Casa Santo Domingo has the rare commodity of space in Guatemala’s old capital where you can explore the grounds stumbling upon crumbling fountains and ruined archways and patios. There are two restaurants, the “Refectorio” which specialises in fusion cuisine and the “Sushisan” which focuses on lighter, asian-inspired bites. Above all, the Casa Santo Domingo sees itself as part of Antigua’s historical backdrop. Take a walk along the on-site Museum Promenade and you can visit the “Colonial”, “Archaeology”, “Pre-Colombian Art”, “Silver” and “Pharmacy” museums before losing yourself in the hotel’s galleries, boutiques and candle works. Other facilities include a sumptuous spa and a large pool, sectioned off from the public areas and beautifully illuminated at night. True, the Casa Santo Domingo has the feel of a resort with a number attractions open to the public, but if you are looking for space, comfort and a wonderful historic setting, there is no better place in Antigua!
