Fodor's Expert Review Otelito
12 Calle 4-51, Guatemala City, Departamento de Guatemala, 01010, Guatemala
This former colonial house has character that most other hotels can't match. Ivy-covered walls give way to a cozy reception area. Some rooms surround a breezy courtyard overflowing with potted plants, whereas others share a balcony reached by a spiral staircase. The softly lighted rooms have wooden paneling and tile floors. The Middle Eastern restaurant is an ideal lunch spot; take a table on the tranquil patio where hummingbirds surround a melodic fountain.
PROS
- close to action, upscale atmosphere, lively restaurant and hip bar
CONS
- occasional noise from courtyard
