Hotel Santa Lucía Review

The Hotel Santa Lucía is housed in a wonderfully restored downtown mansion that dates to 1859. Meticulous attention to detail -- in both decor and service -- is a hallmark. The large, enclosed courtyard, which contains a 100-year-old magnolia tree and beautiful baby palms, leads to spacious, comfortable accommodations. Rooms have the amenities of a large, luxury hotel, and come with plasma-screen televisions. The suites have sleeping lofts, hardwood floors, and Persian carpets. No. 212 has a view of the cathedral and a small, private balcony overlooking the street. All but four of the spacious bathrooms have tubs, and many feature multihead spa showers. On the second floor is a huge private salon with a fireplace for guests to gather around. Antiques adorn the hallways, and fresh flowers are arranged daily. In the courtyard, Trattoria Novacentro serves authentic Italian cuisine, and the new bar Moshi Moshi is elegant and chic.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; lounge; tour desk; limited room service; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
