Hotel Parq Central is a newly opened boutique hotel that is built on the renovated site of the original Santa Fe Hospital, which first opened in 1926.

Original clay tiles, 1926-era windows, and a Grand Staircase provide the backdrop for modern touches, including free wireless internet, iPod data connectors, and LCD flat-panel TVs.
Luxurious guestrooms and welcoming public spaces are located in four separate buildings, connected by landscaped gardens and pathways.
