Gran Hotel Bahía

This 1905 landmark was built by the United Fruit Company to receive visitors to its headquarters. Though it's not a standout, some careful restorations have revived its 18 rooms and original splendor and the service is congenial. Second-floor deluxe rooms (eg room 208) with wicker furniture, safe boxes and original oak floors are considerably bigger and brighter than their ground-floor counterparts.
