2023 Travelers' Choice Best of the Best
In 1979 UNESCO declared the colonial city of La Antigua Guatemala as a World Cultural Heritage Site turning it to a recognized treasure of exceptional value before the eyes of the world. In the XVII Century, the Convent of Santo Domingo was one of the largest in America and in 1773, the earthquake of Santa Marta almost totally destroyed it. In 1989, the project known as Casa Santo Domingo was developed with the primary objective of rescuing the vestiges of the Convent and Temple buried under tons of rubble. Hotel Museum Spa Casa Santo Domingo progressively emerged where each corner is a page lost in time that joins others to form a beautiful chapter of the great book of our history.

Staying at Casa Santo Domingo is a reason unto itself to visit Guatemala. Antigua is a gorgeous, charming city. And Casa Santo Domingo is a magical place to stay. Once you pass through the humble entrance, you are greeted with gorgeous stone hallways tastefully accented with fountains, art, statues, plants/flowers, and historic furnishings. Candles light the way at night. The details around every corner make it an adventure just to roam the halls, day or night. Access to the museum and ruins is also a big plus. The rooms are gorgeous. I've only stayed in rooms that offer a fireplace and separate living room and bedroom -- a luxury that is very affordable at CSD. The food is delicious, but a bit overpriced. There are so many wonderful places to eat in Antigua, so do explore (highly recommend Por Que No). I've been to CSD three times in the past 20 years, and each was perfect. I can't wait for the next.

Thank you for such a lovely review and for your preference along the years. In your next visit (and if you haven’t already been there) I suggest that you visit our second property (SantoDomingo del Cerro) a cultural park with wonderful views to the 3 volcanoes, gardens, a modern restaurant, permanent museums and more. If you want me to send info., just let me know.

Consistently the best hotel experience in Guatemala. This 5-star hotel deserves a 5 star rating. This Hotel has it all. I have stayed several times over the years but this is the first time I write a review. Where to begin, the grounds, the pool, the Spa, the artwork, the amenities, the food, the friendly staff…. Honestly, I can’t name one negative aspect. Every time I visit there is something new. This hotel is constantly renovating. The last time we visited we had the chance to visit the spa, WOW!! Should not be missed and with the kids we enjoyed the newly refurbished pool. We had such a memorable time during our 4 night stay. Can’t wait to stay on our next visit. We will try the cabin experience at their other property in Santo Domingo del Cerro.

I've been traveling to Antigua for decades and while I've seen this hotel, we've never stayed there. It was so unassuming on the outside and yet...We’d always been curious about this hotel and what it was like on the inside. So, this trip, we were lucky enough to get to stay here and all I can say is WOW. Honestly, I should say, “wow,” because the elegance of this hotel is beautiful, but understated. Built in and around the ruins of a Dominican Convent that dates to 1547, the Convent was pretty much destroyed in the earthquake of 1773. In 1989, a restoration project was begun and now we have this beautiful fusion of history, culture, art, and hospitality. Staying here was a restorative and unique experience. Walking through the wide, gorgeous hallways invoked reverence. It was also incredibly relaxing. Any time I'd think, "You know, it'd be nice if..." then that thing would appear or that's the way things were arranged. The amenities were top-notch, including a lovely HEATED pool, fireplaces in the rooms, and a gourmet restaurant. The staff was incredibly pleasant and helpful. I hope I get to return to this hotel because I didn’t get to see nearly enough of it! I highly recommend this gorgeous hotel.

This hotel is one of the most amazing hotels I've ever had the opportunity to stay at. As soon as you arrive, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time. The hotel is set in the ruins of a 17th-century convent, which gives it such a mystical atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and have rustic decor that perfectly matches the historical ambience of the hotel. On the hotel grounds, you'll find beautiful gardens, courtyards, fountains and old relics. There are also multiple museums, an art gallery and a chocolate shop. One of the highlights of my stay was visiting the gorgeous spa at the hotel. It has two types of saunas, luxurious hot tubs and a heated outdoor pool surrounded by a lush garden. The massage I got was also one of the best ones I've ever had. I highly recommend staying at Hotel Casa Santo Domingo. This place is truly one-of-a-kind!

An outstanding hotel, one of the best I've ever encountered. The hotel is nestled within the ruins of a former convent that's now a museum. Architecturally, the new buildings complement the ruins, and create a gorgeous atmosphere. There are gardens, fountains and abundant bird songs. My room had a balcony that I enjoyed sitting upon. Rooms are excellent, good beds and bedding. Wifi is fast, showers are strong. There's no desk, so if you're a business traveler in need of one, that's something to keep in mind. But the overall ambience is so good that you're bound to be productive. I can't say enough good about this hotel. Stay if you can.

We have stayed here previously and enjoyed our stays. However this time we have been situated in a room that is close to some extensive and very noisy building work that is happening. From approximately 9am to 6pm constant hammer has literally shakes our walls. i have provided photos with this review of a couple of the rooms in the wing that is being renovated so that you can ask for a room at the other end of the hotel campus. We have queries management for a solution and they could not care less. We appreciate that renovation are essential- but some form of make good for impacted guests should be considered. Even a small gesture would go a long way. Particularly given how comparatively expensive this place is.

If you can get over the price tag, this is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Spa and massage services. Fireplace is in your room. Wonderful courtyard and restaurant. There are weddings going on here constantly for a good reason.

It is a real pleasure to return to this hotel, coming here is like being transported back in time where every detail in every corner of the hotel reminds you that you are in one of the most beautiful cities in the world and in Guatemala. Its atmosphere is incredible, it's like living in a museum where no matter where you look there will always be some detail or element of interest or to take a photo.

This Hotel is supposed to be one of the best hotels in Antigua, however it does not meet expectations. - this is a +$300-400/night hotel -upon arriving to the room there was bird poop on the table in the balcony which was not cleaned until 2 days later when I saw the cleaning lady I asked her to come back and clean the table. - we were 4 people, how difficult is it to leave every day 4 towels, enough shampoo and soap? Everyday I had to call to ask for more. - we rented a double bed room + and additional room that had a living room and dinning room. One of the sofas was a sofa-bed, if I wanted to use it as a Bed I had to pay additionally $40/day!! - the first morning the shower broke down, it took them 1 hour to fix it. - rooms need more light - no free bottles are offered, each one cost Q18.00 ($2.25), you may but in a store nearby for Q7 (less than $1). - there is a note that you may change the pillows for different types, I asked the cleaning lady to change them… she did not… I had to call once again - at 6:30AM, 30-45min before checking out I called the reception to prepare everything (we did not take anything from the mini bar nor drink the bottle of water), when arriving to the Reception the person there was unable / untrained / unwilling to do her job so it took us another 45 min to check out (there were no other guests there) - my parking ticket was signed at the Reception, she did not explain I had to validate it before going to the exit, thank to the friendly person at the entrance of the parking who asked us and validated the ticket before we drove the the exit. Its a sad that such a hotel that is made within a Convent and has beautiful scenes is run without care as expected. The restaurant is really good, service and food is excellent, just be prepared to overpay for what you may find elsewhere 30-40% cheaper (in a good restaurant also, there are many in Antigua Guatemala). Next time I might eat there, however I will choose another Hotel.
