Casa Antonieta Hotel Review | Hotels Above Par
"Set in Oaxaca’s oldest building—the 1500s San Pablo convent later converted into a 19th-century mansion—this intimate five‑star hotel feels like a verdant, historic oasis a block from the Zócalo. An open-air central courtyard overflowing with greenery floods the property with sunlight, humidity, or the drama of an afternoon storm, creating a soft, buzzing atmosphere where remote workers, friends, and business meetings mingle. Rooms are thoughtfully appointed (nine total); a typical ground-floor standard opens to the lobby and courtyard, offering roughly 375 sq ft, a king bed, raw floors, ecru clay-plaster walls, Zapotec rugs from Teotitlán del Valle, handmade rattan headboards, beaded pendant lamps, macuil wood accents and small handcrafted details, plus amenities like yoga mats, bathrobes and slippers. The rooftop terrace and on-site wine bar/restaurant provide a relaxed, all‑day setting with a curated playlist—ideal for laptop work, slow breakfasts, or sipping a mezcal margarita at sunset—and a tiny shop stocks local handmade homewares and ceramics. Downstairs a cafe offers strong cold brew, tea and gluten‑free pastries. Rates start around $280/night; Oaxaca International Airport (OAX) is the closest airport."
