A beautiful hotel in a restored colonial building
Hotel Patio del Malinche enjoys a prime location just two blocks from the central cathedral, along El Caimito street in the heart of Granada.
Housed within a lovingly restored colonial home, this boutique gem offers a stylish retreat infused with Nicaragua’s Spanish-colonial heritage.
With its terracotta tiles, wooden beams, and tranquil courtyards, the hotel exudes charm at every turn. Accommodation revolves around two charming patios: one adorned with a lush garden and seating for leisurely breakfasts, while the features a refreshing pool, perfect for escaping the midday heat.
The 20 modern rooms blend simplicity with colonial elegance, featuring wicker-style furnishings, locally inspired fabrics, and wooden ceiling beams. Many rooms offer direct access to the central garden and pool, while the second-floor vantage point treats guests to breathtaking views of Mombacho Volcano.
Guests can enjoy the secluded outdoor pool nestled within a serene courtyard, a tropical garden, and inviting patio seating with hammocks. The on-site restaurant serves up delectable fare for al fresco dining.
Patio del Malinche is more than just a hotel—it's a labour of love run by a delightful Spanish couple committed to supporting their staff and giving back to the local community through educational initiatives and social work.

January
This month offers sunny days and warm temperatures, making it perfect for exploring beaches like San Juan del Sur and Corn Islands.
February
Similar to January, February boasts excellent weather for outdoor activities such as hiking in the lush rainforests or enjoying water sports on the Pacific coast.
March
As the dry season continues, March is ideal for visiting colonial cities like Granada and León, with comfortable temperatures and clear skies.
April
Easter celebrations in Nicaragua are vibrant and colourful, particularly in cities like Masaya and Managua, offering cultural experiences for visitors.
May
May marks the start of the rainy season, but it's still possible to enjoy the country's natural beauty while avoiding crowds at popular tourist spots.
June
Rainfall increases in June, so travelers can take advantage of lower prices and fewer tourists while exploring attractions like Ometepe Island and the Masaya Volcano.
July
Despite occasional showers, July offers opportunities for eco-tourism adventures, including birdwatching in the cloud forests of the Mombacho Volcano Nature Reserve.
August
The rainy season continues in August, but visitors can still enjoy the country's diverse wildlife by exploring national parks like Indio-Maíz Biological Reserve.
September
September is a particularly wet month throughout the country and we do not recommend visiting at this time.
October
October is similar to September and the height of the wet season.
November
As the wet season eases off and drier days commence, November offers pleasant weather for outdoor activities such as zip-lining in the canopy forests and volcano trekking.
December
The holiday season brings festive atmosphere to Nicaragua, with lively street markets and celebrations in cities like Managua and Estelí. Christmas & New Year holidays are popular times for travel throughout the region.
