Mesón Panza Verde was established in 1986 as one of the first European style inns in Antigua. Ideally located at the quiet end of famous Firth Avenue, it is a pleasant four block walk from Antigua’s main Plaza and Cathedral down a cobblestone street past wonderful ruins and delightful shops. People often ask about our name. Panza Verde is what generations of Antigüeños have called themselves. No one is quite certain of the full story, but it is said that the people who remained living here after the capital was moved to Guatemala city were so poor that they had to subsist on avocados. Being a Panza Verde is mentioned with great pride.
We seek to provide you with the service and amenities of a fine European style Inn and Restaurant with a casual elegance all our own.
