Hotel HBlue Malecón is a mid-sized hotel with 52 rooms on Colina Capistrano, in the Sun Mountain area of La Paz and less than two kilometres from the Malecón and the state museum of anthropology and history. The hotel is rated four on the booking partner's property scale, and its guest score is excellent, about 9.4 out of 10 from nearly three hundred reviews. Guests staying here get an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, free self-parking, free Wi-Fi in the rooms and a free full breakfast each day, which together make for an easy, comfortable stay at a fair level of service. Rooms range from standard singles and doubles to premium doubles with a partial ocean view and an open-plan suite with a sea view, so there is a choice for couples, families and small groups. The front desk is staffed around the clock and can arrange tours, tickets and luggage storage, which suits visitors planning boat days, beach trips and wildlife excursions from La Paz.
Location and getting around
The hotel stands on Colina Capistrano in the Sun Mountain (Cerro del Sol) area, less than two kilometres from the Malecón and the state museum of anthropology and history. That puts the waterfront and the historic center within a short taxi ride, and it is a hilltop base rather than a seafront one, so views and quiet tend to be the draw rather than a stroll to the sea. Free self-parking suits guests who rent a car for Balandra and the other beaches along the Pichilingue road, and the front desk can help arrange tours and tickets, taxis and luggage storage.
Rooms and facilities
The hotel has 52 rooms, from standard rooms with a king bed or two large beds to premium rooms with partial ocean views and an open-plan suite with a king bed, sofa beds and a sea view that sleeps up to five. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with free Wi-Fi, a desk, a phone and a shower with a hair dryer.
Facilities include an outdoor swimming pool, a restaurant and bar, laundry and dry-cleaning services and a front desk that is staffed around the clock. A free full breakfast is included. Check-in is from 3 pm, with a late-night check-in cut-off, so tell the hotel if you will arrive very late, and check-out is at noon.
Who it suits and good to know: couples, families who want a pool and parking, and travellers who rate a quiet, well-reviewed hotel above being on the promenade. Guests give it an excellent score of about 9.4 out of 10 from several hundred reviews, and individual room types rate very highly, which is a good sign for consistency. The property is non-smoking and does not accept pets.
Because the hotel is on a hill, plan on taxis or a car for dinner in town and for the Malecón at sunset, and ask about the best route when you arrive. Rates change by date and cancellation terms vary by rate, so read them carefully when you book, and reserve ahead in the busy winter and spring weeks.
