With these considerations in mind, we only chose hotels with bilingual or multilingual staff, an onsite pool, and rooms with air-conditioners. We evaluated reviews, awards, and amenities for nearly two dozen properties in the greater Asunción area to determine the best hotels for each category. Once the above criteria was met, we considered quality of service, whether there were notable onsite restaurants and spas, unique experiences offered, closeness to major attractions, and the richness of a property’s history before making our decision.
