Hotel Boutique El Palomar

Beautiful boutique hotel, centrally located, unique decor, great restaurant on site.

Hotel is great. It sits on top of a hill with excellent views. Staff is wonderful. We stayed here for 5 nights for our son's wedding. Our family had rooms #1, 3,4,7, and 8. All the rooms are so pretty. Room 3 does have some road noise due to road behind but traffic dies down and the room is a very good size with a huge bathroom. Room #1 has a large private balcony the bedrooms are a little tight if you have a lot of luggage. The view is incredible. Room 4 was very nice with a small 1/2 circle balcony and great view. Room 1 , 3 &4 are on the 1st floor which is up a flight of stairs and where the elevator starts. Room 7 & 8 have excellent views and are accessible from both the stairs and elevator. We enjoyed the free breakfast provided at El Correo , coffee and food were very good and staff was very nice. You could have coffee, juice and all but the 2 steak meals for free. There is a coffee area made with filtered water and a sitting area outside room 1,2,3 &4 where the elevator starts. Hotel provided bottled water to the room everyday. We ate dinner and had drinks upstairs at Antonio bistro which was very good and had a wonderful view. We had the hotel arrange shuttle for one group. One person overpaid their bill and hotel contacted us to arrange refund. Highly recommend this hotel. Due to steep hill we did sometimes take taxi back to hotel due to bad knee. (cost less than$5 with tip)

This really is a very nice hotel with very nice and spacious rooms. Ours (#10) was a two room suite with two bathrooms, sitting area with a lovely view and a separate bedroom. Plenty of room and the view was a 12 out of 10. The sitting room doors open up to a view of the entire city and of course the church! Bed, linens, shower, towels and other amenities were all top-notch and incredibly comfortable. Made service daily and fresh waters every day. The location is just about 3-4 blocks off the main square and slightly up hill the last two blocks. Once in the courtyard there are another 20-25 steps or so to get to the first floor rooms and elevator. These steps are not optional, you must climb them to access the first floor, so beware if this is an issue for you. There is coffee & tea service on the main floor in the morning. I am an espresso drinker, so unfortunately this didn't offer too much value for us. But, plenty of coffee shops within 3-4 blocks and even a Starbucks on the main square if that is your jam. There is a restaurant on the top floor of the hotel and it is lovely with pretty good food. We were slightly disappointed in our first meal there, but for the most part it is good and they have a decent selection of beers, tequila and mezcal if you are into that. Beware that if you stay on the third floor (units 8,9 & 10) the moving of chairs in the restaurant rings loudly within your room. So, if you are a light sleeper and are planning to go to bed before the restaurant shuts down, do not get a room on the 3rd floor. There is some parking but very limited to just about 5 cars or so. So, call ahead and make sure they will have room for your car if you have one. Parking in SMA looked to be a miserable experience, so not sure what options you would have if the hotel lot is full.

This hotel is amazing and great customer service they accommodated my husband and I with extra time just because our flight was late we love it

Delightful few days in SMA. Hotel near the center of historic district. Excellent restaurant on the roof with great views.
