star hotel, even if its pink walls are like totally 1983 and the lobby is quite smoky. Rooms
include giant resort beds, great views and your typical hodge-podge of high-market amen-
ities, making this the best business hotel option in the center. Ask for a south- facing room
for the best views. The top-floor Aransaya Restaurant affords a superb view over the city
and surrounding mountains.
Hostal Naira $$

; Sagárnaga 161, Rosario; s/d/tr incl breakfast
B$220/320/452;
) You can't get a better location - right at the bottom of Sagárnaga
near the Plaza San Francisco. The rooms are also quite comfortable with vaulted ceilings,
slightly bowed mattresses and no dirt within sight. It can be a bit noisy at night.

Hotel Las Brisas $$

; Illampu 742, Rosario; s/d/tr incl breakfast B$150/
250/340;
) This is a solid budget bet with a 'Bolivia moderna' style - think stark, but
neat rooms (some with internal windows), funky murals and crispy sheets coupled with a
few shabby bits and external glassy walls. The rooms at the front have excellent views
and the staff are friendly, but the whole place does smell a little like Thai food.

HISTORIC HOTEL
Arcabucero Hostal Inn $$
(
231- 3473; Liluyo 307, Rosario; s B$95-155, d/tr B$180/200;
) The nine quiet
rooms at this restored colonial home are arranged around an ornate, plant-filled indoor
courtyard. The saggy mattresses, however, should be relegated to the inn's otherwise
quirky antique decorations, as should the pillows and electric showers.
Hotel Fuentes $$
(
231-3966;
www.hotelfuentesbolivia.com
; Linares 888, Rosario; s/d/tr incl breakfast
B$160/190/270;
) This cozy place is just-ever-so-slightly overpriced. Nevertheless,
there's friendly service, and the basic rooms with bowed beds and parquet floors, cable
TV and hot water are certainly do-able. Some rooms on the higher levels have superlative
views. A book exchange is a nice bonus.
