Posada del Angel
Romantic, intimate, old-world colonial. This is the kind of place that feels lived-in — art and relics in every corner, signature scents developed by a local alchemist, custom dinnerware inspired by Capuchinas monastery engravings. It pulls off elegance without feeling precious.
The Rose Suite is widely considered the best room — it's the only one with its own private roof terrace and has three-volcano views; book well ahead.
Why It Matters
One of Guatemala's most recognized boutique properties. Winner of the 2007 Andrew Harper Hideaway Report, now awarded one Michelin Key. Has hosted Presidents (including Bill Clinton, whose suite is named after him) and celebrities. The first boutique hotel in Antigua, opened in 1993.
Posada del Angel is the original boutique hotel of La Antigua — seven rooms inside a restored Spanish colonial casona on a quiet cobblestone street, about four blocks from the main plaza. Everything happens behind a small wooden door: a courtyard lap pool, a romantic garden, a rooftop terrace looking straight at Volcán de Agua. The rooms are not large or flashy, but the atmosphere is dense with character: Mayan textiles woven on backstrap looms, carved wood sculptures, hand-hammered copper, and candles that transform the corridors at night. Established in 1993, it was the first luxury boutique hotel in Antigua and it still earns a Michelin Key.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
The Bird Room
Garden-view standard room with a king bed and wood-burning fireplace. The bathroom is tiled in beige and reddish tones. Named for its garden outlook — a quieter option that trades the pool or terrace views for direct garden greenery.
King
The Blue JR Suite
One of the most requested rooms. Decorated in blue hand-woven Guatemalan fabrics with a king bed, wood-burning fireplace, and a bathroom that leans into the rustic colonial character of the posada. Straightforward layout — no jacuzzi or terrace — but the textile work and fireplace make it very popular.
King
The Green JR Suite
Romantic pool-view room with a 4-post antique queen bed and a wood-burning fireplace. Decorated with rustic Guatemalan furniture. Consistently described as the favorite for honeymooners. The pool view creates a serene, private feel even though the room is on the courtyard level.
Queen (4-post antique)The Mary Sue Suite
Exotic suite decorated with a 4-post antique queen bed, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace beside a cozy living room. The marble-and-wood bathroom has a Jacuzzi and opens to a private outdoor patio — one of the more unusual bathroom configurations at the property.
Queen (4-post antique)
The Mayan Room
Cozy queen room decorated with antique Mayan prints and an original wooden floor. The spacious bathroom features elegant rustic accents and hand-woven Guatemalan fabrics. The only room without a fireplace — the coziness comes from the textiles and original flooring instead.
QueenThe Rose Suite
The hotel's flagship room, historically home to President Bill Clinton. Original wooden floors, fine antiques, and a wood-burning fireplace in both the bedroom and bathroom. Extra-sized jacuzzi. Private rooftop terrace with unobstructed views of three volcanoes. Lounge area and bar fridge. The only room with its own private terrace — it is up a level from the rest, giving full privacy.
KingThe Yellow Room
Pool-side standard room with a choice of two twin beds or a king, a wood-burning fireplace, and a bathroom designed to match the room's color personality. Flexible bed configuration makes it one of the few rooms that could work for two travelers who are not a couple.
