Color plays an important role in the everyday life of residents of Central America. You can see it in the streets, folklore, clothing, buildings, art, dishes and more. Choosing between an overnight stay in a dull gray accommodation or in a picturesque and colorfully painted hotel is made easy with the inspiring offer in the latter category. Striking colors splash from many hotels, both in terms of the exterior and the interior. A tour of some striking examples in this region.
Los Almendros de San Lorenzo – El Salvador
Just 50 minutes from the capital El Salvador is Los Almendros de San Lorenzo, a beautiful 200-year-old colonial boutique hotel in the old town of Suchitoto. It is without a doubt one of the most beautiful hotels in El Salvador. Behind the beautiful facade and beyond the beautiful fresco by the Salvadorean painter Luis Lazo is an oasis of serenity with beautiful patios, plants, stylish antique furniture with modern art on the walls. A library, a bar and restaurant, a large garden with swimming pool complete the picture.
W Panama – Panama
In the middle of the business district The W Panama, a super modern hotel dominates the skyline. Don't get confused and think that this is a glass colossus like many other business hotels, the interior is really amazingly colorful. The colorful W logo above the entrance is a harbinger of what to expect. The reception, the rooms, the restaurants and bars, in every space your eyes will be short of the color spectacle. The hotel is located near Calle Uruguay with many good restaurants and bars and within taxi distance of the colonial neighborhood Casco Viejo.
Finca Rosa Blanca – Costa Rica
You do need some imagination to turn what was once a mud puddle into a tropical paradise, but Sylvia Jampol had that. She had a house built there in the 1980s and established a coffee plantation where sustainability is of paramount importance. The house has been transformed into the fairytale Finca Rosa Blanca that is very tastefully decorated with a twist of Gaudi style, including art from Costa Rica. All the staff come from surrounding villages and the hotel has received several sustainability certificates.
