I've travelled to over 40 countries and stayed in hotels that are deemed the best, but El Convento is my favorite hotel in the world. It's a refuge of calmness. It's authentic Leon, offering some of the best amenities one can expect from a hotel but careful not to fall into the homogeneizing trap of a five star chain hotel. One feels that one is in Leon at every turn--the shoe shining box, the rustic details that are clearly there by design, the windows on the doors, the rocking chairs, the welcoming drink as soon as you walk in, and the genuine hospitality of Leon. The art and antiques are outstanding, and not surprising given that the owner is one of Nicaragua's best art collectors. The owner is also the sponsor of the best art gallery in Nicaragua, which is down the block from the hotel.
