Meson Panza Verde Hotel and Restaurant

Plus

Meson Panza Verde was established in 1986 as the first Luxury Boutique Hotel and Restaurant (European style) in Antigua. Ideally located at the quiet end of famous Fifth Avenue, it is a pleasant five minute walk from Antigua's main Plaza and Cathedral down cobble stone streets past wonderful ruins and delightful shops. Our hotel has nine uniquely decorated suites and three double rooms. Just beyond the entrance, there is an inviting central garden and fountain surrounded by a veranda that is quintessential Antigua. Meson Panza Verde was selected as a Fodor´s Choice Establishments in 2010. Our restaurant received the coveted Medal de Oro award as best in the country in 2008. Our Restaurant motto: "International cuisine with a twist". People often ask about our name. Panza Verde is what generations of Antigüeños have called themselves. No one is quite certain of the true story, but it is said the people who remained here after the Capital was moved to Guatemala City were so poor they had to subsist on avocados. Being a Panza Verde is mentioned with great pride.
