Well-loved boutique hotel in a converted colonial house with just seven individually styled rooms, each brimming with colour and character, and an exceptional restaurant.

The highly regarded boutique hotel within a converted 18th century house is situated in the heart of Oaxaca, a stone’s throw from the main square.

There are just seven rooms in Casa Oaxaca, each individually styled and brimming with character. Simple white walls and beautiful wooden furniture allow the sumptuous jewel tones of textiles to burst through, echoing the colours of the fresh flowers that appear daily. The theme continues elsewhere in the hotel, with calming white spaces complementing bursts of vibrant colour to great effect.

A secluded terrace with hammocks provides the perfect spot for relaxation on a sunny Mexican afternoon, and there is also a shady patio and attractive pool. However what the hotel really prides itself on is its gourmet food, served in its popular restaurant and combining traditional Oaxacan cuisine with modern flair. The exceptionally helpful and welcoming staff are a further factor adding to Casa Oaxaca’s sparkling reputation.
