Right under the arch, this hotel is an old convent. The room we stayed in is large and rustic, opening out onto an interior garden that is is exquisite. The property is safe and in the middle of the action! It is 2 blocks to the Central Park and a block from the Merced Cathedral. There are restaurants, coffee shops, ATM machines, street venders, tuktuks, taxis, and abundant beauty just steps outside your door.

It is an historic building and they want to keep it as original as possible, to us it looks like they have 3 parts for his hotel, the main one has a bit more of noise and activity, the second part has the garden and it’s more calm, and the 3rd part it’s more quite and private like a vip, it has a different entrance away from the main entrance, it is in our bucket list to get a room there for the next time we come. The whole staff is amazing and they always welcome you, they have live music on Fridays, maybe over the weekend too, not a o sure.

This place was nice. We had breakfast there and it was really good. If you want to take pictures under the Arch this hotel is literally under the Arch. Just wake up early take picture in the morning to beat the crowd. The only negative thing the hotel has no parking.

Hotel Convento Santa Catalina was the best location to spend New Year's Day. The music performed by several groups on the December 31st right under the Arco was a real treat. The staff was very friendly and helpful with arranging transportation. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.
