The Hotel con Corazon sits on an unpretentious corner of the historic city of Granada, Nicaragua. This charming boutique hotel has 15 rooms, a swimming pool, tiny bar and restaurant and a lush courtyard.
But the Hotel con Corazon is more than just a pretty face. The boutique property helps young Nicaraguans build a better future, as 100% of hotel profits are invested in educational projects as well as creating jobs and supporting local businesses.
Inside the hotel, evidence of its work is seen in the small shop in the lobby which sells jewellery and hand made cards produced by local artists. Food is all locally sourced and visitors are welcome to enjoy group dinners of Nicaraguan dishes in the courtyard dining area where at the weekend youngsters from the neighbourhood can also be seen having lessons. Hotel con Corazon encourages visitors to get out and about to see the real Nicaragua. Its in-house guides take trips to the lakes and volcanoes as well as walking and cycling city tours. Those who want to experience local culture can also book cookery and cocktail making classes.
