Description: Dos Loros of Antigua
The Dos Loros Inn is located 15 miles from La Aurora Airport. Antigua itself is a destination to behold, with at least 35 monuments dating to the 17th century and the annual Holy Week spectacle, when thousands of local churchmen and women retrace Christ's final days along cobblestone streets adorned with colorful carpets of flowers, fruit, pine needles, and dyed sawdust. Nestled among three towering volcanoes, Antigua lies in a 5,000 feet high mountain valley. During its 18th century heydey, Antigua then called Santiago, was the biggest city between Mexico City and Lima until a devastating earthquake in 1773 prompted the government to move the capital to a nearby mountain valley and what became Guatemala City. Antiguas abandonment was incomplete, and by the early to mid-1800s, the population had begun to grow, in large part due to coffee farming in the fertile volcanic soils nearby. Thus the early renovators began piecing together the damaged homes, retaining their colonial architectural style. Tremendous efforts went into restoration of quake-ravaged churches, most notably the Cathedral of Saint Joseph, which anchors the east side of the Antiguas central park.
The inn will have its driver to meet guests at the airport as they arrive, and save the confusion and trouble of locating transportation at the airport. The property amenities include free breakfast, non-smoking rooms, high-speed Internet, free parking, dry cleaning and laundry facilities, and kitchenette.
This inn provides spacious, airy, and modern rooms in all of Antigua. After a three-year renovation program, the inn has re-opened with the modern plumbing, fixtures, and amenities. It also specializes in making guests visit as home-like and pleasant as possible.
