Welcome to Posada del Ángel, a boutique hideaway tucked into the cobblestone heart of Antigua. Blending Spanish colonial architecture with intimate luxury, this seven-room hotel feels more like a private residence than a traditional stay. Think candlelit courtyards, flickering fireplaces, and handcrafted Guatemalan décor—this is where history meets hushed elegance.
Location and Accessibility
Located on a quiet street just a short stroll from Antigua’s main plaza, Posada del Ángel offers both privacy and proximity. You’re steps from the city’s historic churches, artisan markets, and vibrant café scene, yet shielded from the hum of the town. The hotel is around 40 km (about a 1-hour drive) from Guatemala City’s La Aurora International Airport, with easy access via private transfer or shuttle.
Luxurious Accommodations
Each of Posada del Ángel’s seven rooms is individually designed, with local textiles, hand-carved furniture, and original artwork creating an atmosphere of soulful luxury. Rooms feature wood-beamed ceilings, garden views, and cozy fireplaces—ideal for Antigua’s cooler evenings. The Rooftop Suite is a standout, offering panoramic volcano views from a private terrace. While the ambiance is timeless, modern comforts like plush bedding, rainfall showers, and Wi-Fi ensure a seamless stay.
Dining: A Culinary Highlight
Breakfast at Posada del Ángel is a quiet ritual—served in the garden courtyard or your room, with locally sourced ingredients and traditional Guatemalan flavors.
