La Paz and the altiplano: Hotel Rosario

Visit Us

Hotel Rosario

The Hotel Rosario is a popular and well-established colonial hotel near La Paz's indigenous markets, sights and restaurants. It’s a clean, quiet, well-decorated guesthouse with a pleasant jumble of flowery courtyards, always buzzing and lively with guests. 

The small and neat guestrooms are cheerily decorated with bright textiles and furnishings. There are two restaurants and a more informal café, and the top floor has been converted into an internet café which also serves snacks and Mexican dishes. There’s also a well-respected travel agency on the ground floor, which can arrange any off-the-cuff tour or day trip you’d like to make.

What our experts say

This is one of our favourite budget hotels over all our time in Latin America; I personally have been going there since 1982.  Its sunny colonial patios ooze with charm, it has a very popular restaurant and attracts everyone from back packers on a splurge to guests on a short holiday wanting to pack in as much local colour as possible.

"Probably my favourite hotel from them all.  The room decorations were fabulous, the bed comfortable, a good sized bath in bathroom. The breakfast was also much better than most places."

FR, Perth | December 2014 | 50 - 65

Nandu: Peaks and plains of patagonia | Tour rating: Excellent

"We arrived late after a delayed transfer to La Paz, and so only rooms at the front of the hotel were available, which were rather noisy. However, on request we were able to move to quieter rooms at the back for our next two nights. Very good restaurant for breakfast and dinner."

Good food

“Hotel Rosario - functional. No lift though and we were on the very top floor which made it a chore to go to and from the room - especially as we suffered from the high altitude, so this bit was not enjoyable. Food was good. I liked that there were some plants in the corridors - (lack of trees and greenery generally in La Paz, so having these in the corridors/courtyard, made it seem 'refreshing' like a little oasis.”
