Our wedding planner encouraged us to book with Barbara (the owner) early on and it was the most stress-free part of our wedding. What a blessing! We stayed in the suite far in the back and never heard a SINGLE noise from outside or within the Cloister. We lit a fire every night which was expertly built and incredibly romantic.... More

The impeccable staff conducts themselves as perfect host. Each time we return to the Cloister it is like returning home. It is a comfort to the eyes, the... More

My husband and I have stayed at The Cloister on three different occasions and we never tire of enjoying the atmosphere of this beautiful property.

The Cloister: a tiny, quiet nest full of old-world charm--restored 17th century convent near Santa Catalina arch and great restaurants, shops, central plaza--and my school.
