Fodor's Expert Review La Casona

Colonial with more than a touch of class, this exclusive, 11-suite boutique casa comes complete with a manicured interior courtyard; stately sitting and dining areas; and rooms with heated floors, antique-looking but modern bathtubs, and marbled showers. Every detail inspires appreciation, from the chic furnishings to the intricately carved wooden doors, soaring stone archways, and smiling staff. The hotel captures all the charm of a 16th-century mansion while offering all the amenities of a modern world-class retreat. After a day of tromping about town, you may find yourself cozying up and settling in, but be sure to pull yourself away from your private nook long enough to enjoy afternoon tea.
