Asunción is still making its mark as a high-brow tourist destination, so most of the accommodation you’ll come across caters to backpackers and day trippers crossing the border from Argentina. Though with more and more curious travelers seeking out new cities to explore, Paraguay’s horizons are widening, with chic places to stay appearing across the capital. Here’s a snapshot of the best boutique hotels at the heart of South America.

1. La Mision Hotel

Boutique Hotel

Perched on the edge of Villa Morra – one of Asunción’s most elegant barrios – La Mision is the place to stay in Paraguay’s beguiling capital. Effortlessly chic and timeless, it’s garnered a reputation for fine service, delightful breakfast and exquisitely comfortable beds. Each of the 37 suites has its own unique flair, calling on the charm of the 1930s and decorated in tasteful pastel shades. Escape the humidity in the hotel’s rooftop pool, or curl up with a book in the cosy lounge. The finishing touch? A harpist at breakfast is what takes La Mision a cut above.

2. La Casona

Boutique Hotel, Villa

Tucked away in a peaceful corner of Villa Morra, La Casona is an oasis of calm in this bustling city. This rustic hotel overflows with Paraguayan charm; it doesn’t get much more authentic than this, with its colonial architecture, old-world atmosphere and warm staff. The cosy rooms are individually decorated and strewn with colorful cushions, as are the sofas along the covered porch outdoors. Pitch up here with a book and spend the afternoon curled up with a mug of the hotel’s lauded coffee.

3. Las Lomas Casa

Hotel

This Asunción institution is a celebration of Paraguayan art, a fusion of old and new. Its biggest draw is its lush garden, sun-drenched courtyard and outdoor swimming pool, which is the perfect escape from the heat of the city in summer. Indoors, the hotel is inspired by colonial Spain, with exposed brick walls, beamed ceilings and terracotta accents. The rooms, from standard to superior, are elegant and atmospheric, with compact en suites and ultra-modern touches. Dine in at hotel restaurant Narciso, which showcases the classic flavors of Paraguay at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

5. Villa Morra Suites

Hotel, Villa

Known for its European grace and Paraguayan welcome, Villa Morra Suites is one of Asunción’s most delightful hotels. Located right at the heart of the barrio that lends its name, along Avenida Mariscal Lopez, it’s close to some of the city’s best restaurants and just a stone’s throw from Paseo Carmelitas. The monochrome parquet floors and traditional wall hangings in this guesthouse will have you feeling like you’ve stepped back in time to colonial rule. After dinner at the hotel’s La Cava restaurant, snag a spot in the Jacuzzi to watch the sun go down.
