Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Portal del Ángel

Hotel Portal del Ángel combines colonial elegance with sleek modern design. Gilt mirrors and baroque religious art bring a hallowed air to the lobby, whereas cool colors and clean lines brighten the courtyard. You can dine here beneath pale-blue-and-lemon-colored arches where plants climb up bits of twirling wrought iron. Panels of hand-carved mahogany are used for headboards in the generously sized rooms. In the heart of Colonia Palmira, the hotel is close to trendy bars and restaurants.
