La Casona Hotel Boutique

La Casona Hotel Boutique, located in the historic center of the city of La Paz, is a construction that constitutes an architectural legacy of colonial style, built in the seventeenth century. It is linked to the Franciscan Order, who built the Convent and the Minor Basilica of San Francisco and it was established that during the Colony the Franciscan Order was the owner of the surrounding land.

However, during the long process of construction of the Convent of San Francisco, the Franciscans for the construction and completion of the convent, sell part of the surrounding land to the Convent and it is believed that one of the Directors of the Work is given, as part of his fees, the land where La Casona currently stands. During the eight years that the restoration lasted, the same architectural and constructive elements that exist in the San Francisco Convent were found, among them, the stone foundations, the gambote brick floors, the adobe walls, the vaulted ceilings and cañahueca, its fountains and steps carved by hand in stone, the doors and windows carved in walnut wood, original elements of colonial architecture.

In the restoration of La Casona a "Tapado" was found, named after the hidden treasures that during the Colony, in this region, people used to keep their valuables in secret places, many times when the person who owned the "Tapado" died. he took with him the secret of his location. The Maldonado Family has preserved these historic colonial spaces as attractions of this modern hotel.
