A history worth noting
Mr. Escandar Bedran, the founder of the San Ignacio Resort Hotel, launched his hospitality career by opening a popular night club on Hudson Street in San Ignacio, followed by a dance hall and community center with classrooms, all of which formed a social hub for the people of San Ignacio. Hosting every sort of event a community desires – dances, weddings, school plays and more – Mr. Bedran expanded his enterprise to a distillery producing rums still known for their unique flavors and potencies. Despite surviving fires that might have kept a lesser man down, he continued to diversify his interests by acquiring agricultural interests in anticipation of building his dream property: A hotel, named for his town of birth, that opened its doors to guests in 1976. 
Hosting no lesser personage than HRH Queen Elizabeth in 1994, The San Ignacio Hotel stands as homage to an entrepreneurial genius whose family continues the legacy by welcoming guests from around the world. Want to know more before you come for visit? This timeline is a must-read.
