Hotel Casa Blanca

Western El Salvador


Set inside an old mansion filled with colonial-style furniture, this slightly ostentatious hotel is a fine choice to start or end your journey down the Ruta de las Flores. The eight rooms are a little cluttered and the color schemes startling, but the beds are comfy. Take your coffee in the internal courtyard, which speaks to an earlier time.
