Hodelpa Nicolás de Ovando

Three stone colonial houses on Calle las Damas, the oldest paved street in the New World, make for a hotel with architecture most museums would envy. Rooms keep the original stone walls and timber ceilings where they survive, and the courtyard layout hides two restaurants, two bars, and a pool within its walls. The Zona Colonial's museums and plazas are steps away, and the beach is a rental car and a road trip, not a walk.
