El Convento Hotel is a meticulous restoration of the 17th-century San Francisco Convent where throughout the hotel, a seamless blend of elegant décor and colonial-style.

Dark-wood furniture creates a timeless ambiance, extending from the well-manicured gardens to the meticulously designed rooms.

The 32 rooms exude simplicity, spaciousness, and a cool atmosphere, with smooth Spanish tiles and stylish furnishings that harmonise with the historic theme. Each room features very comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, and modern conveniences such as WiFi and excellent air conditioning.

El Victoriano, the on-site restaurant, invites guests to savour an eclectic international menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The central garden provides a tranquil space for reflection on the hotel's rich history, while the small outdoor pool and modest fitness room offer additional avenues for relaxation.

Ideally situated in the heart of the city centre, the hotel is a mere two blocks from the main plaza, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and captivating colonial architecture. The owners, Central America's most extensive private art collectors, have transformed three colonial homes adjacent to the San Francisco church into an art museum.
