This is such a gorgeous hotel - every aspect of our stay was beautifully appointed (rooms, courtyard, breakfast areas) and the staff were just lovely. It’s also super centrally located close & walkable to the major sites and, but you don’t step out into anything touristy. The breakfast was spectacular too

We recently stayed here from the states. From the moment we stepped onto their property, we were well taken care of. From coffee as well as ham and swiss chesse sandwiches, great breakfast options to the friendly smiles and welcoming conversation. We were very comfortable here. Everything was clean, the garden area and fountains were beautiful. Artwork was displayed everywhere. If ever in Antigua Guatemala again, We would definitely stay here. I highly recommend this place! Thank you everyone for the experience!

A beautifully maintained traditional hotel. The room was spacious, it was very peaceful and had a lovely fragrance from all the lovely fresh flowers. The location was excellent.

This boutique hotel was a beautiful, quiet little sanctuary in the heart of Antigua. The location couldn’t be any better considering you are right next to the Santa Catalina Arch and walking distance from everything you would need. From the staff to the owner of the hotel, everyone was so nice and helpful and gave great recommendations in the area. It’s also super helpful that they can organize private shuttles to and from the airport along with going to Lake Atitlan for an extra charge. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone coming to Antigua for a couple days.

The hotel is beautiful, quiet, safe, and cozy, perfectly located near La Merced Church, and the principal park , museums, ATMs, stores, and bars. The entrance is on a peaceful side street, so it’s easy and safe to access. The staff were very polite and helpful, they arranged my airport transfers and a private volcano tour, which was amazing and better priced than outside agencies. Everything was well organized, saving me time since they handled it all. There’s no air conditioning, but the fans and open windows kept the room comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the beautiful setting made it even more enjoyable. Thanks San Rafael.

San Rafael is an exceptional property — one of my favorite hotels I’ve stayed at in the world. The design perfectly strikes a balance between historical, luxurious, and boho-chic. The common areas — luscious gardens peppered with art and cozy seating — are the perfect respite from the bustling streets of Antigua. The location is stellar, just steps from the Santa Catalina Arch but feeling serene, secure, and worlds away. And the service is top notch. Staff is friendly but unobtrusive. Breakfast is also the best I’ve had in a hotel in Guatemala: fresh, generous, and filling.

Gorgeous property. Amazing patio, full of greenery, a water fountain, kumquat trees, beautiful seating areas with stunning furniture. The patio served as a perfect area to eat breakfast every morning and the breakfast was delicious. I even did a whole photo shoot on the patio. The room was stunning and architecturally impressive with beautiful furniture and high ceilings. The staff was lovely and polite. They packed me a take away bag for breakfast for one of my early excursions. They cleaned my room daily. The room did not have AC but with the windows open there is a lovely cross wind that kept the room cool. I would definitely recommend this beautiful place.
