Hacienda Los Laureles, Oaxaca
This intimate boutique hotel is perfect for a holiday filled with glorious peace and quiet. Away from the city in a residential area, you can escape the bustle of metropolitan life. In fact, you’ll feel like you are in your own private hacienda. The 18th century building went through an extensive renovation a few years ago and the new casual charm of a Mexican estate with stucco walls, terra cotta floors and wrought iron furniture give it a truly authentic feel. You can get every massage and facial treatment you could want at the Petit Spa and enjoy international and Mexican cuisine made with local meats and produce in the restaurant overlooking their amazing gardens and the surrounding mountains.
location
This gorgeous building is set on the foothills of the Sierra Juarez Mountains and is a few minutes from the historical town of Oaxaca. Visiting the sites offered in town and then coming back to your hacienda, you really feel like you are back in old colonial times. Except they may not have had luxurious spas and top class restaurants back then.
your room
This intimate Boutique hotel boasts 23 beautiful air-conditioned guestrooms, which are accessible via exterior corridors and feature minibars and laptop-compatible safes. The balconies open out to stunning views of the courtyard and garden.
why we like it
We love the cooking classes in the garden, including a trip to the traditional Oaxacan market where you can see, smell and taste all kinds of local delicacies. To top things off, the restaurant, The Cypress, throws special theme nights and barbeques for a true taste of Mexico.
