Posada de Las Flores, La Paz
Steeped in the flavor of Mexico, the Posada de Las Flores effortlessly combines old-fashioned appeal with the modern conveniences of a luxury hotel that you have come to expect from a Black Tomato selection. Rooms are clustered around the central courtyard where towering palm trees line a quaint pool – the perfect spot to cool off and take in the uniquely Mexican surroundings as a reminder that you are no longer home.
Location
Overlooking the Malecon (seaside walkway), Posada de Las Flores is situated to make the most out of the stunning La Paz sunset. Take a peaceful walk along the Malecon and browse the shops, restaurants and bustling nightlife that run along the shoreline. La Paz’s location on the Sea of Cortez, known as one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, makes it a hotspot and launching point for ecotourism. Here you have the rare opportunity to swim with the prehistoric giants of the sea – the whale shark.
