Hotel Convento Santa Catalina is a tranquil hotel in the heart of Antigua. Our hotel is full of the history that makes Antigua Guatemala an international tourist destination. Our unique hotel is set among the ruins of the convent built for the cloistered nuns order of Santa Catalina. This is probably the most historical property you will find in Antigua Guatemala. The Arch is definitely the most famous and most photographed icon of Antigua. The cloistered order of Santa Catalina began in 1609 in Antigua Guatemala. Their convent, where the hotel is today, began being built in 1613 and was completed in 1647. This is one thing that makes our hotel different, and not many other hotels in the world are like this. So, when we say our hotel has history, we mean over 400 years of history within our hotel walls. Most of the ruins are very weel kept and in their original state. The famous Arch, which was built in 1693, has a passageway inside of it and was used by the nuns to cross over the street to their property on the other side. This way, they could stay out of public site, which was part of their cloistered order.

We are located on the most famous street, Arch Street, in the entire country of Guatemala. And there is more, the most famous historical monument of Antigua Guatemala is part of our historical hotel.

The hotel rooms are situated around a large central courtyard with a beautiful fountain that harnesses the feel of a time long passed. Our rooms and common areas are decorated with beautiful Guatemalan furniture and textiles and many priceless antiques. They are spacious with lots of light and bright colors. All rooms come with private bath, cable TV, hot water, linens, towels, soap and window views. They all have furniture for hanging and folding clothes. All rooms have many hand carved wood furniture pieces and breathtaking chandeliers. Some rooms have views of the colonial ruins. All rooms are well lit with ceiling lights and beautiful hand made lamps on the night stands, beside all beds. Our garden has many sitting areas for relaxing or reading a good book. It is easy to keep in touch, while you are here, with our free Wi-Fi internet. We also offer a Travel Agency, airport pickup, use of a shared kitchen, laundry service, bag storage, Spanish classes and a large garden sitting area. Our bi-lingual staff will help you with all your needs and give you good tourist info. For families with children, we offer pack-n-play baby beds and a family friendly environment.
