Perfect respite from chaotic, incredible La Paz!
The Met was an amazing place of comfort and ease after an adventurous time through Bolivia, including the incredible Salar de Uyuni. The Met staff welcomed us with a quick, easy check in process, in English, ensuring we were aware of all of the comforts the hotel offered, including cups of coca de mate in the lobby, to ease some of the minor altitude effects we had. The team was awesome, but special thanks to Ernesto, who graciously guided my son and I through all manner of questions on where to find what locally, from restaurants to small conveniences/sundries - most of which they had on hand for guests. Our room had these cool motorized window shades that either blacked out the room for a great deep sleep, or let in the views over the Andes. I selected this particular high-tiered hotel based on the look of the bathrooms and was not disappointed. We had great water pressure and super hot water - so welcome after our days of hard trekking at high altitude! The location was excellent - SO safe yet still so interesting. While having delicious chicken soup/broth in the restaurant, we were treated to a surprise visit from one of the Met's world-class featured artists; Keiko Gonzalez, there in all the rawness of La Paz, to ensure his installation was just right! Thank you, Keiko - GDTRFB. Amazing, cool experience. Really nothing but glowing reviews for this lovely respite from chaotic, incredible La Paz!
