Founded in 1980 as Hostal Colonial, our hotel was born from the vision of creating an authentic space in a city rich in history. Since then, we have evolved while staying true to our essence: offering a warm, welcoming place filled with character.
Set within a 17th-century colonial mansion, every corner preserves the soul of Potosí. Today, as Colonial Hotel Boutique, we blend tradition with modern comfort to create a unique experience—where rest becomes a lasting memory.
We preserve heritage while honoring its original essence
Personalized care focused on each guest’s well-being
We deliver on every promise we make
Every detail is crafted for a memorable stay
At the heart of our colonial mansion grows a Keñua treea unique Andean species capable of thriving at higher altitudes than any other tree in the world. Sheltered from the wind, it has reached an exceptional size, rare for its kind.
According to historical accounts, Potosí was once surrounded by Keñua forests used during the colonial era for silver smelting. Today, this tree—protected within our walls—keeps that memory alive.
Its presence not only enhances the space, but invites you to pause and connect with a story that has endured through generations.
Colonial Hotel Boutique is ideally located in the historic center of Potosí, just minutes from the city’s main access routes. Whether you’re arriving from Sucre or Uyuni, the hotel is easily reachable by road.
