Hotel Doña Elvira

Housed in a renovated colonial building, Doña Elvira is a friendly place geared toward travelers; you can hang out in the inner courtyard, take a dip in the pool (it’s too small for swimming), lounge on the rooftop solarium or read in the lobby–dining area. For such a pretty building, it’s unfortunate the 13 rooms are a somewhat haphazard amalgam of mostly plain styles and furnishings.
