Hotel La Atarazana

Hotel La Atarazana Review

A white wrought-iron gate opens to a small foyer with a large mirror and long stems of tropical flowers at this artistically renovated town house. To the left is the kitchen and bar, to the rear is a courtyard furnished with outdoor tables and market umbrellas; there's a coral-stone wall with bamboo and exotic greenery—it's an urban oasis, and one with a waterfall that flows into a dipping pool. Your hosts are Susanne and Bernie. She's a German economist; he's a German architect who designed the hotel and the contemporary lighting fixtures. Rooms, all upstairs, are minimalist and clean, with new plush towels. The courtyard is the setting for the healthy, European-style breakfast and the rum-soaked cocktail hour. Massage services are now available by a trained therapist.
