Restored between 1968 and 1971 by Don Carlos Dorion, Isabel de Dorion.

Today Posada Don Rodrigo conserves its ambiance that characterizes a colonial an antique home in Guatemala.
The San Rafael, which opens following a three-year restoration.
Incorporates the remains of an early structure significantly altered in the nineteenth century. The recent restoration preserves the form of a grand, traditional colonial home with its brick, stone and stucco construction; two courtyards; antique tile roofs; and three water features (including a dramatic wall fountain). Besides the furnished patio where one can enjoy a leisurely breakfast while gazing over the garden, guests will appreciate the elegant and lofty sitting and dining room, the perfect space in which to sip a glass of wine, sit before a roaring fire, or catch up on emails and correspondence.
Entering through the gates of the San Rafael, visitors enjoy a sweeping view of the first courtyard with its two fountains and richly varied plantings: Italian cypresses, ficus trees, and the colorful blossoms of native plants. The hotel office and reception are conveniently located off the entry vestibule, where newly arriving guests will be greeted with a welcome beverage, and hotel residents may seek advice on touring the city, securing reservations at Antigua’s finest restaurants, or making arrangements for a private excursion.
Meson Panza Verde was established in 1986 as the first Luxury Boutique Hotel and Restaurant (European style) in Antigua.
Ideally located at the quiet end of famous Fifth Avenue. It is a pleasant five minute walk from Antigua’s main Plaza and Cathedral down cobble stone streets past wonderful ruins and delightful shops. People often ask about our name.
Panza Verde (green belly) is what generations of Antigüeños have called themselves. No one is quite certain of the true story, but it is said the people who remained here after the Capital was moved to Guatemala City were so poor they had to subsist on avocados. Being a Panza Verde is mentioned with great pride.
