My Nicaragua Vacation Part 5: Hotel Spa Granada


As promised, here are some shots of the interior of the Hotel Spa Granada. Built in 1802, a presidential home for many years, taken over by the Sandanistas in the 1980's and used, if I recall correctly, as the offices of the Ministry of Health, then returned to the family, and currently run as an upscale hotel.

I stayed there for one night. It was $95 for an enormous room with a king-sized bed, massive bathroom, two beautifully furnished balconies, lovely pool courtyard, a complimentary spa treatment and awesome breakfast. It was 4 times more than I paid for other accommodations on the trip, but soooo worth it (if only my boyfriend had been there to enjoy it with me!).

The furniture was incredible! But with all the drinking in the beauty, I neglected to inquire about the origin of the art. So much brain power was taken up by absorbing the surroundings in Nicaragua that I spent a lot of quiet days just processing. The heat and humidity doesn't help me to reach out much either. And there was the other kind of drinking to keep up with too...

Since returning home I have done a bit of searching to find out who made the furniture in the Hotel, but no luck so far.
