Hotel Santo Tomás

Frommer's Review

Even though it's on a busy downtown street, this converted mansion is a quiet oasis inside. Built more than 100 years ago by a coffee baron, the house has been lovingly restored and maintained by its owner, Thomas Douglas. Throughout the hotel you'll enjoy the deep, dark tones of well-aged and well-worked wood. The rooms vary in size, but most are fairly spacious and have a small table and chairs. All rooms are nonsmoking, although smoking is permitted in some of the common areas. Skylights in some bathrooms will brighten your morning, and firm beds provide a good night's sleep. There's also a small outdoor pool with a Jacuzzi above it; the two are solar heated and connected by a tiny waterslide. The staff and management are extremely helpful, and the restaurant here is excellent. This neighborhood is a little bit sketchy after dark, so you'd be advised to take a taxi to and from the hotel for any evening excursions.
