Antigua, Guatemala is a tiny city with tons of surprises. You can find a whole other world just by walking through a small, colorful – ancient – door. Its hotels are the perfect example of that.

You can go through a door and find yourself in one of the most luxurious, colonial style hotels you have ever seen, or you can find a tiny boutique hotel run by its owners.

This is how diverse your lodging options can be:

1. Earth Lodge: This lodge is located on a hill about twenty minutes away from Antigua that offers rustic cabins and camping equipment to rent. This is an amazing place to spend a couple of nights and is probably the only safe camping with the kids you can find in this area.

2. Hotel Casa Santo Domingo: This hotel is worlds apart from earth lodge, it is located right on the main entrance to Antigua and it is known for being one of the best, most luxurious hotels in town.

This five star hotel is right where an old monastery used to be, part of the restaurant is in the middle of what used to be the chapel while in the gardens you get to see crypts. There is also a museum filled with stuff that belonged to the monks found in the construction of the hotel and some modern/weird artwork.

3. Casa Cristina: This hotel is completely different from the previous two! This is a small yet cozy and affordable hotel with a colonial style that offers 10 rooms and a terrace from where you get a skyline view of Antigua and the Volcano. It is simple, but is in the middle of all the action.

Now that you have the info all you have to do is to pick the one that suits your style.
