La Mision is a beautiful boutique hotel in a mostly-brick building located off the main Mariscal Avenue and four blocks from San Martin & Argentina Avenues. It’s rated no. 1 among the Asuncion hotels and deserves the ranking. The guest room, which is quite large by international standards, is all ceramic tile flooring. Personally, I’d prefer carpeting or real wooden floors but that’s probably a matter of personal taste. The tile floor carries over into the T&B, which is very large and has a bidet, although given the space, they could have included a second wash basin. The T&B tile floor can be slippery when not very dry and my wife slipped and twisted her knee on her first night. Instead of a shower gel, they provide a Dove bath soap bar, which my wife appreciated. There were enough towels but we missed having a close-up makeup mirror. The entire floor, including the guest rooms are painted in all white, which is quite refreshing. The minimalist décor was nature themed, with wrought iron amenities holder in the T&B, bedside lamps with seashell motif in the shades, and bird and butterfly frames. For work, you had a wrought iron work table with a classy marble top, and a white-painted wrought iron chandelier. The window was floor to ceiling, with a door that opened to a wrought iron railing - not really a balcony but it still gave the illusion. Each room also had a cute portable electronic fireplace with fake logs – nice. We appreciated the ice bucket, pitcher, filtered coffee maker, wine glasses and corkscrew. There was a big TV over the work desk but we couldn’t get TV stations and services like Netflix required subscription. So you could only watch free YouTube – ha ha ha. There were three rooms in each corner, so 12 rooms for a floor. At the center was a large seating-rest area – still all in white - with a sofa set, coffee table and mirrors, which then led to the floor’s balcony, which gave a good view of the mall and its trees directly in front. My wife and I had wine in both areas. Across the hotel is a smallish mall with open air coffee shops and restos for those brave enough to dine during the southern winter – Mistral, name after the main street Mistral Lopez which the hotel led to. Breakfast is a nice affair in a beautiful and classy high-ceiling dining area with floor to ceiling glass windows and lace curtains. To get there, you passed through their large pub-lounge area with bar and large leather seats. We didn’t know it on our first day but found out on the second that we could order special eggs or special coffee from the kitchen. Food was good – hot meats, scrambled eggs, breads (there was a toaster), hams, cheeses, lots of pastries, juices, some fruits. We were told there was a harpist that played the harp at breakfast but in both times, we didn’t experience it. Oh well. The hotel stretches the concept of ‘boutique’ – sure there are only some 60 rooms but all the facilities are first-class and services are complete. We w
