A Hotel with a Unique Design and Close to Everything

A Hotel with a Unique Design and Close to Everything

The Crowne Plaza in Managua is as unique as the city itself. It is an iconic landmark that is easily identifiable by its pyramid design. The hotel invokes images of the many Mayan pyramids that dot the Central American landscape. The hotel is centrally located and only a few blocks from Lake Managua and the famous Managua Cathedral. Although Managua doesn’t really have street names and directions are normally given by landmarks that may or may not be there, it is fairly easy to find. Upon leaving the airport, you will head west on the Pan-American Highway. There will be a statue of a soldier holding an assault rifle in the air, which soon became our personal landmark. After turning left onto Avenida Bolivar, you will go two blocks and after passing the roundabout, the Crowne Plaza will be on the left.

The hotel has security officers who patrol the parking lot 24 hours a day. The parking lot is not big and they will meet you at the entrance to assist you in parking your vehicle. The hotel lobby is beautifully decorated with marble floors and we were greeted by a wonderful hotel staff. On the first floor, there is a business center, a restaurant, and a casino.

The rooms were average in size with the bathroom being very small. The rooms were equipped with the basic amenities along with a refrigerator. Since we were traveling with a child, the crib made the room even smaller.

The hotel is only a few blocks away from the historical center of Managua. Sites of interest are the National Museum, the Cathedral of Managua, and the Ruben Dario National Theater and many others. Lake Managua is less than four blocks, however, the lake is heavily polluted and it is not advised to go swimming. About a mile to the west is the National Baseball Stadium named after Dennis Martinez, the first Nicaraguan to play in the Majors.

Across from the hotel is the Plaza Inter, one of the many malls in Managua. The top floor has a food court. This came in handy at night when it was too late to drive somewhere. There is a cinema in the mall and the stores are scattered over three floors.

The rooms averaged about $100 and it was a lot less expensive than the Intercontinental Hotel. The Holiday Inn Select was about the same price but it is located near the business district of Managua. The hotel was a great choice for the price and location.

Great Place

The personnel attention are the greatest thing in this hotel. Besides the high quality of service provided by the Crowne chain, you fell at home at this hotel. Great food at the hotel´s restaurant and at the Japanese restaurant inside the hotel. Taxis at the hotel are trustable and they have a free shuttle to/from the airport.
