The three-star Hotel Convento La Gloria, located among the touristy streets surrounding the cathedral, is decorated like a convent with religious paraphernalia.

Artists and musicians often book at the Hotel Amadeus, most likely for its soundproof practice rooms, free-for-all instruments and classical music library.
