Parador Santa Maria la Real

Beautiful colonial hotel. From the terrace, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the white city of Sucre. Highly recommended.

Beautiful historical property a few steps from central town square, feels like living in a museum but with modern facilities. Service is top, particularly liked the breakfast. only weak spot is the WiFi, even though I understand that it is difficult to get the signal to the remotest rooms. I would return, when in Sucre again.

Unquestionably the nicest hotel in Sucre and located one block from the main square. Hands down the best in town. It has an incredibly beautiful interior as you would expect from a UNESCO World Heritage site and it is constantly being rehabilitated and upgraded. The cellar bar is only exceeded by the rooftop bar that provides incredible views of the city and the surrounding mountains. Sunset at the rooftop bar is a local favorite. Breakfasts and guest services are what you would expect from a 5 star hotel and doesn't disappoint.

We spent two nights in this lovely, historic property two weeks ago. The staff, especially the proprietor and bartender (Rene?), made our visit very welcoming and comfortable. It's not every property where you are greeted by the proprietor, and he was visible throughout our stay, clearly proud of his fine establishment. The decor is very well suited to the history of the building, and the small museum in the basement is a hidden treasure. One afternoon, we spent a few hours in the bar. The bartender offered a tour of the basement, including the meeting rooms and artifacts, while he also served us drinks and snacks. He was very thoughtful and attentive, and he was especially patient with our very poor Spanish. Breakfast consisted of a nice variety of fruits, breads, meats and cheeses. The omelet station was an unexpected bonus. The breakfast host was very friendly and helpful. Our room (206) faced an air shaft but was very quiet. The bed was somewhat worn, but the antique-style furnishings were beautiful and made us feel like we were staying in a much more expensive hotel. There was no shortage of hot water or water pressure in the large shower. The location of the hotel, one block from Sucre's main plaza, is ideal. Many of Sucre's sights and restaurants are within a very short walk of the hotel. The area felt very safe, even at night. We would definitely recommend this hotel, and we will certainly stay here when we return to Sucre.
