Hotel Salta

Salta


You pay extra for the top location here on a corner of the postcard-pretty central plaza. This stately, traditional hotel's facilities are good and service excellent, but the rooms are a tad drab and disappointing. Try to grab one with a view of the church and Cerro San Bernardo. Superior and executive rooms are bigger than the compact standard rooms.
