We made four trips to Guatemala in 2001 & 2002, and we stayed at the Casa Grande every time because we fell in love with it on our first visit. In some ways it felt like stepping back in time 75 years to stay in a fancy little hotel with ornate decor and personal service. Plus, the last thing we wanted was to travel to another country only to stay in some Americanized chain hotel, whereas the Casa Grande seemed authentically Guatemalan -- in a good way, a classy way. We appreciated being able to order a light meal in the hotel's atrium restaurant, and we occasionally sampled a drink from the bar while playing cards or Scrabble in one of the parlors off the main lobby. Everything seemed so relaxed, and the price was much more reasonable than the big chain hotels. I also agree 100% with what the reviewer from Greeley, CO wrote.

My wife (a native of Guatemala) and I stayed at the Hotel Casa Grande over Memorial Day weekend 2006 while visiting the baby we are in the process of adopting. We rented two rooms, so that “Abuelita and Tía” (Grandma and Auntie) could visit as well. Although the hotel could use some new paint and a bit of maintenance work, we are delighted with the experience. The hotel, right next door to the American Embassy, clearly caters to adoptive families, and the staff was very friendly and very helpful. On Sunday morning, one of the staff heated some water to mix our baby formula, and quickly delivered it to our room. On the day we checked out, the desk clerk exchanged some American dollars for Quetzales for me; while not at the rate a bank would give, still at a pretty decent rate. Although a bit noisy in the daytime from the noise of the very busy Avenida Reforma, the view of the garden from the balcony is lovely. The food in the dining room, while admittedly on a somewhat limited menu, was very good. You can order the local (and very tasty) Gallo Beer, a glass of wine, or a cocktail with your dinner. Although we didn't use it, the hotel also has a small, well-stocked bar. We will definitely use this hotel again when we bring our baby home in the next few months.

This hotel has a very "SPECIAL" place in my heart...it is where we first met our adopted daughter! We stayed in the "suite" which is quite large. This place is like going back in time, like living in some mansion from way back when. We wanted a true Guatemalan experience and we got it! The staff is superb, they can not do more for you. It made a very special time in our lives even more memorable! I highly recommend it if you don't mind being around children and if you want to feel like you are in Guatemala, not another U.S. hotel chain. The food is excellent too. We will go back someday to bring our daughter to visit her birth country and we will be staying there!!

We just returned to the States from Guatemala, where we adopted our new daughter. I had misgivings about the city, having heard a vast array of warnings regarding street thievery, unstable military, etc. What we found in La Casa Grande was a perfectly safe haven for adoptive families. The staff has extensive experience with the types of things families go through in this strange, but wonderful process. They provide cribs, playpens, walkers, room service, bottled water, insight, and good advice. What you won't read about in any "formal" descriptions of the hotel are the many small but big-hearted ways the staff interacts with the adoptive families. A big plus is that the hotel is just steps from the U.S. Emabassy/Consulate, further facilitating that aspect of the process. We highly recommend the hotel. They even have internet access. The only minus was one chicken dinner that was undercooked. For safety's sake we mostly ordered breakfast all the time. It was great, especially the fried plantain. And they'll even prepare guacamole and tortillas (off menu) if you ask.

We stayed at La Casa Grande for 4 days while we were visiting our daughter, whom we are in the process of adopting from Guatemala. They arranged a cab to pick us up at the airport and take us to the hotel. They took us to the room, which had 2 double beds (one for abuelita and one for us..) They provided us with a baby bath tub and crib. The crib was a bit less sturdy than our little girl liked. Fortunately, we had take our pac n play with us and she loved that, plus it had a changing table on it! They sterilized the bottles and made what was already an exciting trip even better. Though not air conditioned, the weather was perfect. There are plenty of sitting areas, terraces and gardens to enjoy while there. The dining room was great, the food was tasty and the staff was loving and caring. The experience of meeting our little girl for the first time was perfect and much of that is due to La Casa Grande and their staff... There were many other adopting families there as well so we were able to visit with them and Mikayla played with their children. They had 2 high chairs in the dining room and a walker for the babies to use. The provided linens and housekeeping. We, however, did not utilize the daily room cleaning, but they still gave us clean towels, extra toilet paper and soaps etc... It was quite clean and comfortable. We will DEFINATELY stay there again when we return to bring our baby home and for subsequent adoptions. Also, they have a very nice lady who comes in the afternoons most days with handmade Guatemalan goods. They are BEAUTIFUL... she takes American $ or Guatemalan $. She is quite nice and it is nice to be able to buy some cultural things on your trip but not have to leave the hotel, when you are visiting your little ones. The room had a TV and it did get Spanish and English channels, BUT I must say we didn't watch much TV as we were with Mikayla and visiting with other families. THANKS LA CASA GRANDE!

Words can not describe the emotions I have for this hotel . It is like arriving home. The staff bend over backwards to help out the adoptive families. While my family and i were there the hotel installed a microwave , changed all of the matresses and painted the place,. Future plans include a business centre and AC in some rooms. I became friends with the owners son who decided to upgrade the hotel. For anyone who wants a true Guatemalan experience ,this is the place to stay

Our two children, my husband and I returned to La Casa Grande after staying there twice 10 years ago. Many of the same staff are still there, including Gloria and Freddy, the husband and wife team who work at the front desk most of the time. It's a very comfortable, clean, and lovely hotel next to the U.S. Embassy with very reasonable prices and a central location. We would recommend it highly!!!

The Casa Grande is a nice, large, distinctive hotel. When we stayed there, however, we appeared to be just about the only guests. The hotel felt empty rather than filled with lively activity.
Facilities are fine. Rooms are cozy. Staff are helpful. Rooms have TVs and telephones. The hotel is very secure.

We stayed at La Casa Grande with the new son my sister was adopting. The staff takes good care of adopting families, providing bottled water, walkers, strollers, high chairs for families to use. For breakfast try the Grande meal-fruit plate, pancakes, scrambled eggs, black beans and cheese-enough for two! Gloria at the front desk is extremely helpful, speaks english and greets everyone with a cheerful hello. Our room was large, had a balcony, and was close to the front balcony where you can watch the world drive by. It is a bit noisy, but take ear plugs, and enjoy the old world charm of this lovely hotel.

We stayed a weekend mid september at La Case Grande to visit the baby boy we are adopting. First impressions were great, the front of the hotel is beautiful, looks like an old spanish style mansion with pretty gardens and statues. The hotel was gated which made it safer at night. The inside of the hotel was under construction when we arrived so it was a bit noisy and the paint fumes really got to us. The room we stayed in was big and had 2 double beds and a sofa but it was in the very front of the hotel and was EXTREMELY noisy!!! We heard cars, trucks, plains, and the gate beeping all night long. The hotel also didn't have air conditioning so if this is something you are used to I wouldn't recommend this hotel. The locks on the doors were flimsy and the patio door didn't even have a lock on it, yet we did feel safe in the hotel, but not sure if it was a false sense of security. Good points were the staff was friendly and some spoke some english. There were plenty of areas around the hotel were families could to and chat with one another. Breakfast was good and the fruit juices are freshly squeezed, the other food didn't look good to us we got take out from a couple restaurants down the street. The Embassy is right next door which is a good thing, maybe a 2 minute walk to the gate. Overall the hotel was beautiful but way too noisy, which ruined the stay for us I think. If you stay at this hotel Id recommend asking for a room in the back of the hotel altought those rooms are hotter. The hotel did have bottled water, cribs(unsafe), if you ask they have baby bath tubs and will clean your bottles for you.
