I have been traveling to Guatemala annually for several years and discovered this gem of a hotel after my first couple of trips. I had never experienced such complete and thoughtful detail (decor, room, excellent food) in a hotel until I discovered the Dona Leonor. And you cannot beat the location being right in the heart of Antigua and only a half block from the town square. This hotel is a magical experience that really compliments the out of world experience you already feel by being in a place like Antigua!

We have traveled all over Central America and this is a real jewel. Clean, comfortable, great service, good food, great staff. Beautiful grounds and rooms. Our room had a balcony overlooking the street and a little noisy at night, but great to watch the activity during the day.

We stayed at Palacio de Dona Leonor and it was a terrific stay. The hotel is in a perfect location literally steps to the Central Park. The beautiful gardens within the courtyard of the hotel are wonderfully maintained. The rooms themselves are very comfortable, quite formal in their decor and just terrific. The quality of this hotel would be upper end even in Europe and it represents a great value for those looking for accommodations on the higher end of the market. I recommend it highly.

Our group of four travellers stayed for 3 nights in this hotel in November 2012. This is an impeccably restored colonial-era hotel, with outstanding service. The rooms are among the most beautiful I have seen anywhere in the world. The details of the rooms, as well as the common areas are very tastefully done, with unparalleled attention to detail. Service was also excellent; each guest is greeted at the door each time you enter.
We also enjoyed a drink in the lovely bar and ate breakfast each day in the restaurant. The food was very good, but service a bit slow.
The location was ideal, just a block from the central plaza. I will definitely stay here again upon any return trips to Antigua.
