The 1810 home of Manuel de Orihuela hosted South American liberator Simón Bolívar, and you can stay in Room 136 where he slept during his 1825 visit. Spacious rooms contain colonial-style furnishings and are arranged in blocks around four courtyards, lush with flowered gardens. Pros: Historic setting. Cons: Some people think history is boring.
