Hotel Plaza Colón stands on the Parque Central of Granada, the main square of the colonial city, close to the cathedral, the church of La Merced, the museum and convent of San Francisco, the ChocoMuseum and La Calzada, the street of bars and restaurants. It occupies a traditional colonial-style building, and it was the first hotel in Granada to be certified for its sustainable practices by Preferred by Nature; the hotel says it has welcomed travellers for more than 15 years. There are 27 rooms and suites, among them Superior singles and doubles and rooms with a balcony, and there is a swimming pool. Breakfast each morning is made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, El Bar serves tapas and the national cocktail, El Macuá, on its terrace, and Café las Flores keeps coffee, pastries, salads and sandwiches going through the day. From the door it is an easy walk to the sights of the old town, and the boats for the isletas of Lake Nicaragua leave from Asese Port, just outside the city. The hotel puts Managua International Airport about 45 minutes away by road.
