Leading Chacas’ recent renaissance, the Plaza is a new hotel (you can still smell the paint) set in an old, quintessential Chacas building with whitewashed adobe walls and rich wooden balconies. The rooms play for function over features, but are clean, comfortable and spacious. It also includes a restaurant and tour agency, and can help with any transportation conundrums.
