The best hotels in Oaxaca

Of course the color blue predominates in the structure, but fancy and elegance also are part of the atmosphere. The central courtyard gives the final touch to the hotel, in the morning it becomes a restaurant to have breakfast. In the afternoon go to the rooftop to take the sun in lounge chairs. Finally, at night the rooftop is a bar with a very beautiful view of the city.

The location isn’t a problem because many tourist attractions are located a few blocks away.
