Mi Casa Es Su Casa: Hotel Casa Santo Domingo, Guatemala

Less than an hour from Guatemala City but 10 minutes by foot from La Antigua Guatemala is the bucolic Hotel Casa Santo Domingo. The majority of its 125 rooms feature private bathrooms, mini-bars, fireplaces, TV, phones, hair dryers and safe deposit boxes, plus you can enjoy its cozy dining room for fine local cuisine and its “El Cabildo” Bar.

This may all sound sleepy and quiet, but in 2005, Conde Nast Traveler Magazine classified the Hotel as #1 in México and Central America and one of the 100 best hotels, resorts and cruises around the world.
