Only breakfast is served downstairs and on the terrace, but Anibal says popular dining options include the Guatemalan specialties at the Fonda de la Calle and the French cuisine at Le Casserole and in the trendy Bistrot Cinq. El Convento (www.elconventoantigua. com) is a blend of Guatemalan traditions and contemporary style. Each of the 19 suites has its own unique charm and all have small patios, many with Jacuzzis. Resident Manager Martha Eugenia Schaeuffler (mschaeuffler@ elconventoantigua.com, 502-7720-7272) is the person to contact for VIP arrangements, especially for clients staying in the grand suites, the spacious Los Caballeros or the two-bedroom Don Alvarado.

The Palacio de Doña Leonor (www. palaciodeleonor.com) was the home of the daughter of the Spanish Conqueror Don Pedro de Alvarado, a gracious 16th-century mansion a block and a half from the main square. The 12 master suites around the courtyard garden all have colonial furniture, antique chandeliers and fine Egyptian linens. The Don Pedro de Alvarado Suite is the most majestic with its velvet-draped four-poster bed, old stone fireplace and couches. The Doña Paola and Doña Beatriz connect and, with bathtubs and separate showers, are recommended for families. The Doña Lucia, which has a four-poster bed and looks out on the cathedral, was our favorite. Owner Maria Jose Rivera de Gereda (gerencia@palaciodeleonor.com, 502-5651-5578) told us twin or double beds can be arranged for any of the suites and that she is adding a Jacuzzi plunge pool, massage room and full restaurant. For special requests, contact Head Concierge Merly Calderon (info@ palaciodeleonor.com, 502-7832-2281). The Vista Real (www.vistareal.com/ antigua) is in one of Antigua’s most famous historical buildings, and has five rooms and four suites. Room 102, with a king-size bed and fireplace, was the former kitchen and the large bathroom still has the old kitchen sink as well as a tiled bath and shower stall. For VIP guests, contact General Manager Mariano Beltranena Falla (mariano@vistareal.com, 502-7832-9715, ext. 16) or Deputy Manager Rosy de Zuñiga (rzuniga@vistareal.com). Suites 103 or 104 can be closed off to form a two-bedroom apartment. Suite 104 is particularly spacious and has a large bathroom with a corner bath, walk-in closet, couches around a large fireplace and a cobbled dining area. Head Concierge Magda Castillo (mcastillo@vistareal.com, 502-7832-9715, ext. 6) says clients can use the helipad at the nearby Santo Domingo Hotel and to book way ahead for Christmas and New Year, as well as for Easter week. In the Las Mil Flores Restaurant, Chef Giuseppe Atzori (gatzori@vistareal.com) tempts guests with Mediterranean and Italian specialties. I AGENTADVICE Pedro Castellanos, owner of Guateviva Travel Agency in Guate- mala City, says La Antigua Guatemala, which is famous for its wellpreserved Baroque architecture as well as for a number of spectacular ruins of colonial churches, “may well be the most outstanding and best-preserved colonial city in Spanish America.” He adds, “Tourists visit La Antigua Guatemala every year from around the world to enjoy its natural beauty and historic monuments. The Spanish colonial style permeates every part of the town: its houses, churches, squares, parks and ruins, as well as its traditions and folklore. Antigua is a city of charm and color where you can see and buy handmade products that honor the traditions of generations of artisans. “Antigua’s temperate climate and friendly inhabitants welcome visitors and the city has all the required ser-vices: sophisticated boutique hotels, cafés and restaurants (with traditional or international menus), stores, Internet cafés, travel agencies, Spanish-language schools and art galleries, all of the highest quality.” 24 | TravelAgent March 2, 2009 http://www.elconventoantigua.com http://www.elconventoantigua.com http://www.palaciodeleonor.com http://www.palaciodeleonor.com http://www.vistareal.com/antigua http://www.vistareal.com/antigua http://www.tauniv.com http://www.tauniv.com
