Fodor's Expert Review Gran Hotel Sorata
Carretera Principal Sorata, Sorata, La Paz, Bolivia
This hotel's charm lies in the outdoor garden and lovely views across the valley. On-site is an Internet café and game room, as well as a large swimming pool open to nonguests for a small fee. Rooms at this 1940s hotel were renovated in 2007, but could seriously do with another renewal. The restaurant specializes in the traditional dishes of the region. If you are coming from La Paz, the hotel is on the main highway 1 km (½ mile) from Sorata's central square. Make sure you notify the hotel of your expected arrival time since the managers often lock the doors and head to La Paz for supplies.
