About Hotel La Perla

Hotel La Perla is a 23-room boutique hotel in León's colonial centre, north of La Merced church.

Fly into Managua (MGA) and continue by road.

Hotel La Perla occupies a mansion that a wealthy nobleman had built in 1858, when cotton drove León's economy. Few buildings in the city share its neo-classical style. Inside, maps, paintings and furniture from the 1800s fill the public spaces, and the Grand Patio and the upper corridors are kept for people staying at the hotel. The address sits north of La Merced church, in the colonial centre.

The 23 rooms are spread over three areas: ten in the original house, five around the pool patio and eight in a contemporary annex. The façade is preserved as it was, so layouts differ even within one room type. The Azul Terrace Suite has a king bed, a private balcony and a bathtub with hot water. The Perla Jr Suite also has a king bed, with balconies over the street and the entrance courtyard.

Bistró 1858 is the restaurant, with Nicaraguan dishes alongside international ones made from local ingredients. The hotel can also set up outings: volcano boarding on Cerro Negro, beach days at Las Peñitas and Poneloya, and visits to the Rubén Darío Museum and to León Cathedral, which UNESCO lists as World Heritage. Parking and a concierge are on site.
