Antigua's boutique hotels occupy restored colonial mansions within walking distance of Central Park and the Santa Catalina Arch. Most properties feature interior courtyards, rooftop terraces with views of the Agua Volcano, and on-site spas offering indigenous treatments like the Temascal steam bath. Room rates typically range from $120 to $350 per night, depending on the season and room category. The central district (Casco Antiguo) is the most convenient area to stay, with easy access to restaurants, museums, and ruins.
