Visitors to La Paz will be delighted to find El Angel Azul, a quaint property nestled in the heart of the historical downtown area of the city. The eleven rooms are arranged around a beautiful and serene gardened courtyard, where guests can relax amidst flowers, fountains and palm trees.

El Angel Azul lies within two blocks of the Cathedral, yet once within its doors the residents feel miles away from any traffic noise and city bustle.

The restoration of this landmark monument (once the city courthouse) is the work of the Swiss owner Esther Ammann. Esther has created a haven for tourists, who can enjoy delicious breakfasts and lazy siestas within the ancient walls.

Having fallen in love with the area many years ago, Esther is also a great source of local information and can recommend the best restaurants and sightseeing opportunities. A helpful city map with tips and suggestions is provided in each room.

The guest rooms are fully air-conditioned and have pretty tiled bathrooms. They are decorated with local handicrafts and brightly colored Mexican blankets, and many feature high ceilings. The hotel's Suite is on the second floor and boasts a large terrace.

In order to maintain the tranquil atmosphere at El Angel Azul, only children aged twelve and over are accepted.
