Hidden behind an unassuming street façade, the Casa Santo Domingo is an ecclesial delight. Located in the heart of historical Antigua in the beautiful Western Highlands of Guatemala, this restored 17th-century monastery is in keeping with the city's cobbled streets and colourful colonial buildings.

Offering understated luxury and comfort without compromising its original features, a stay at Casa Santa Domingo is a unique and fascinating experience.

Location

The colonial city of Antigua is 45km (a one-and-a-half-hour drive) from the country's capital, Guatemala City.

Casa Santo Domingo is ideally situated in the heart of Antigua, and is a leisurely five-minute walk from the main square on Parque Central. Located in Guatemala's Western Highlands, the colourful Indian town of Chichicastenango and beautiful Lake Atitlán are just a few hours drive away.

Things to do

Set in the Western Highlands and between three volcanoes, Antigua is an essential component of a visit to Guatemala, or a more cultural and tranquil alternative stopover than the bustling capital, 45km away. The ideal way to explore the city's cobbled streets and colourful colonial buildings and churches is on foot.

You can take an excursion to one of the colourful Indian markets in the area. The most visited are the Thursday and Sunday markets in the village of Chichicastenango, a three-and-a-half hour drive from Antigua.
