Hotel Los Pasos
★★★★★
Boutique Hotel
Antigua, Guatemala
A colonial boutique retreat in historic Antigua, with rooftop volcano views, intimate gardens, Guatemalan dining, and a private spa.
About the hotel
Set along 9 Calle Oriente in Antigua Guatemala's historic centre, Hotel Los Pasos occupies a quieter corner of the UNESCO-listed colonial city, within walking distance of Central Park, the cathedral, churches, convents, and many of Antigua's best-known landmarks. Its location gives guests easy access to the city on foot while still offering a calmer atmosphere away from the busiest streets. Cobblestone lanes, tiled rooftops, and views towards Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango reinforce the hotel's strong connection to Antigua's historic setting.
The hotel takes its name from the historic Calle de Los Pasos, associated with a series of 17th-century chapels representing the Stations of the Cross on the route towards Calvary. That connection to place continues throughout the property, where low-rise colonial architecture unfolds through intimate patios, stone walls, timber details, tiled surfaces, interior balconies, and terraces. Rather than feeling like a conventional hotel arranged around long corridors, Los Pasos has a more residential rhythm shaped by courtyards and interconnected spaces.
Recently renovated, the hotel preserves this colonial character while introducing more contemporary details across its rooms and public areas. Accommodation ranges from compact Essential Rooms to larger suites, with selected categories offering fireplaces, jetted bathtubs, private balconies, or an outdoor Jacuzzi. The result is a boutique property that balances historic atmosphere with modern comfort while maintaining the intimate scale that distinguishes it from Antigua's larger luxury hotels.
Dining and social spaces add a more contemporary dimension to the stay. The restaurant places emphasis on carefully prepared dishes using local ingredients and flavours, including elements such as corn, cacao, coffee, and regional herbs, while the hidden Habitación 13 speakeasy bar provides a more unexpected and intimate setting for cocktails. For slower moments, the boutique spa offers a massage room and private wellness circuit with hydromassage, sauna, steam facilities, and treatments inspired by ingredients and traditions such as cacao, jade, and hot stones.
One of the property's most memorable features is its rooftop terrace, where guests can look across Antigua's historic rooftops towards Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango. This combination of panoramic views, local gastronomy, wellness spaces, and a highly walkable location gives Los Pasos a strong sense of place. Today, the hotel is particularly well suited to couples, cultural travellers, and guests looking for an intimate base from which to explore Antigua while returning to a peaceful property closely connected to the city's colonial character.

Creator experience
“Hotel Los Pasos offered such a peaceful way to experience Antigua, with beautiful colonial patios that made slow mornings over breakfast feel especially memorable. I loved how the calm atmosphere contrasted with being just a short walk from the heart of the city. Watching Agua, Fuego, and Acatenango from the rooftop with a cocktail was unforgettable, while the genuine warmth of the team made the entire stay feel incredibly personal.”
