Posada del Ángel

Conveniently located midway between the ferry port and Colonia's 18th-century town gate, this little hotel has down comforters for chilly nights, plus a leafy backyard with a pool for the summer heat. Inside, angels adorn the ceilings and walls. The cheapest rooms, facing an interior courtyard, lack charm; upstairs rooms are brighter with external windows; some have four-poster beds.
