Meson de Maria, Antigua

A lovingly restored colonial mansion, Meson de Maria offers just 20 characterful guestrooms in the historic heart of Antigua.

Warm earthy tones, rustic wooden furnishings and beautifully decorated bathrooms (complete with hand painted tiles) create an inviting ambience in each of the hotel’s individually decorated guestrooms. Away from your room, you’ll find many areas to relax in around the property from the lushly planted courtyards to the elegant salons and fabulous roof terrace overlooking the Agua, Fuego and Acatenango volcanoes. Breakfast is enjoyed on-site, and you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to lunch and dinner with plenty of superb eateries within walking distance.
