Sofitel’s first hotel in the Colonial Zone may have been overshadowed by the addition of swankier little brother Nicolás de Ovando's addition two years ago, but this long-standing favorite still stands out.
At about an eighth of the size of the Ovando, the intimacy of this 16th century stone manor is what makes it a top pick for visiting luminaries.
Rooms are appropriately decorated in a colonial décor and overlook an Andalucian courtyard with limestone columns and pretty Moorish fountain. Staying here you’re bound to fall into the local scene easily as the courtyard is a popular setting for regular cultural events.
