Hotel Victoriano  

Perched in front of San Juan del Sur’s paradisiacal bay, this bayfront beach hotel sits steps from San Juan del Sur Beach and a 4-minute walk from the Old Lighthouse Trail. San Juan del Sur Port and the Church of Saint John the Baptist are just a short stroll away, with Managua about 140 km to the northeast.

Housed in a restored Victorian manor built in 1902, the hotel keeps an elegant, sober Victorian vibe with modern touches. The 25 individually decorated rooms feature heated floors, premium bedding and down comforters, DVD players, safes and rainfall showers with complimentary toiletries. Expect bay views, daily housekeeping and a calm, slightly nostalgic atmosphere—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and old-world charm.

Soak in an outdoor pool, recharge at the full-service spa with massages, or hit the 24-hour health club. There are barbecue grills, a tour desk and bike rentals for exploring the coast. Concierge services, laundry and free self-parking are on-site, and an area shuttle or airport transfers are available for a surcharge.

A business center and computer station are available, along with luggage storage and laundry facilities. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected across the property.

Vintage, the on-site restaurant, serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes for lunch and dinner. Enjoy a drink at the bar/lounge or order limited-hours room service. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served each morning to kick off your day.
