Since its genesis, Casa Santo Domingo was the bastion of one of the most grandest convents of America: the one that sheltered the followers of the order of Santo Domingo de Guzmán.

La Antigua Guatemala is a city in which each fountain and wall could tell us a story but instead, is limited to give out the explosive happiness of a beautiful bougainvillea or the nostalgia of a lilac jacaranda. Each studding door, each ruin, the colour of the moss covered centenary rocks, tells us about the nostalgia that wraps the City of the Perpetual Roses between gentle landscapes.

Casa Santo Domingo is an important part of the beautiful colonial reliquary that preserves in its bowels the treasures from the baroque period of ancestral America. Each corner of this house, each stone, each image and each piece that composes this unequalled whole of works becomes a lost page in time, which one by one is joined forming a beautiful chapter of the grand book of our history.

Today, as the Phoenix bird, these treasures are resurfaced so that locals and foreign can appreciate and understand the stories that its textures, forms and colours tell us, ones you will admire at Hotel Museum Casa Santo Domingo.

Let us plan your wedding, meeting, convention or any other special event.
