"Centrally located, just a short walk from many of the city’s main attractions, Pug Seal is a vibrant and vibey boutique hotel in Oaxaca. With frescoes across the property by painter Rafiel Urigias who took inspiration from Zapotec iconography, Pug Seal eschews the neutral interiors favored by many luxury hotels today. The results are striking—deep greens, lilacs, and ochres cover the walls in the central courtyards. Pug Seal’s 20 rooms set across two floors also play with jewel tones, textiles, and texture to bring warmth and tactile interest to the space. Inside you’ll find air conditioning, minibars, and double-paned windows for those facing the street. Breakfast is served at one of the many alfresco dining tables in the ground floor courtyards—from there, you can also access the other common areas and the on-site meeting room."
