Description:
Many boutique hotels move in and renovate older properties and later relay tales of the property's history, but this family-run guesthouse is the real deal: the three owner-sisters grew up in this beautiful house, which has been occupied by their family since 1916. While the friendly, casual, and spick-and-span atmosphere suggests as much, the hard evidence of the family's presence can be seen in a lovely collection of photographs from over the years, many taken right on the premises. This well-priced option is ideal for those hoping to stay a little bit off the beaten path and not right smack in the center of the bustling shopping and nightlife district just a handful of blocks deeper into Palermo Viejo. Climb the grand staircase to reach the five classic guestrooms; once settled in, ponder what you'll be in the mood for for breakfast in the morning – your wish is the hotel's desire.
