Nestled in the heart of Guatemala City, our Art Deco hostel stands as a timeless testament to the city's rich history, having witnessed the vibrant energy of the 1920s movement and the tumultuous events of the 1944 revolution. Originally erected as a symbol of modernity and progress during Guatemala's golden era, this meticulously renovated building seamlessly blends its storied past with contemporary hospitality. we are 15 Minutes away from the Airport, 1 hour away from Antigua Guatemala. we have 9 Museums in the historical center of the City. we offer City Walking tours with our host tony. we encourage to Try the Guatemalan Cultural tour and Gastronomic heritage from Mayans and Spanish history. Each dormitory and private room pays homage to Guatemala's rich history, with Art Deco-inspired décor and modern amenities providing a comfortable sanctuary for guests. From the plush bedding to the sleek furnishings, every detail has been carefully curated to ensure a memorable stay that celebrates the building's heritage. In renovating this historic building into a hostel, we have preserved its architectural integrity while infusing it with new life and purpose. Our hope is that guests will not only enjoy a comfortable and memorable stay but also leave with a deeper appreciation for Guatemala's rich cultural heritage and the role this building has played in shaping its history.
Me interesa Aprender cosas nuevas, la lectura y la política, soy Agronomo y politologo (In Fieri) me gusta ser host porque puedo conocer nuevas personas, transmitir la calidez de Guatemala al turista de una cultura tan rica como la nuestra. entre mis intereses esta la lectura, el arte, la cultura y política. Amo los animales, y la Cocina. ¡Ten por seguro que tendremos siempre Algo de Qué hablar!
the Santa Catalina neighborhood stands as a captivating blend of history, culture, and modernity. Named after the iconic Convent of Santa Catalina, which dates back to the 17th century, this vibrant district offers a captivating glimpse into the city's rich heritage and dynamic present. right now in the historical center of Guatemala City, 2 blocks away from the National Palace blended in history and Iconic reference from a past Era. we are in the heart of the Government District, its pretty safe we have a high presence of police officers, in each corner, we have museums and historical sites from Guatemalan Civil, religious and Military architecture.
