"This 18th-century casona turned boutique hotel located in the beating heart of Oaxaca is one of the most beautiful hotels in all the city. Behind an unassuming facade, the Talavera tile-adorned lobby gives way to a cantera verde central courtyard with views to the plant-lined, open-air corridors of the second story. Take breakfast at the communal table in the turquoise-tiled kitchen, choosing from a selection of traditional Oaxacan breakfasts and pastries from nearby bakeries. Artisan goods are found in abundance across the property, from the lobby’s beeswax candle chandelier to the potted endemic plants in barro verde (green ceramic) and the woven palm hats and bags available for day use in the guest suites. Grana’s rooftop offers sprawling views across the valley of Oaxaca, and is the ideal place to have a coffee or a nightcap, or catch a twice-weekly yoga class. Rounding out this beautiful property is the warm and attentive service and staff, who are available 24 hours a day."
"A stately 18th-century residence on the west side of Oaxaca City, now a grand bed-and-breakfast. Its 15 rooms retain traditional craft and modern design, updated in an eclectic, contemporary style." - Mark Fedeli
"There’s Grana B&B, the bed and breakfast by the team behind Mexico City’s beloved but since-closed Chaya. Housed in a renovated 16th century building, Grana remains one of the most beautiful spaces in Oaxaca, skipping the en vogue brutalism favored by many top Mexican architects today and instead playing to the house’s historical past with quintessential Mexican tile work and cantera verde stone floors."
"A stately 18th-century residence on the west side of Oaxaca City is now Grana B&B, and it’s safe to say that it’s rather more grand than the bed-and-breakfast tag ordinarily implies. Its 15 rooms have been left largely intact — a necessity given the house’s landmark status — but they’ve been updated in an eclectic, contemporary style, mixing traditional craft and modern design in roughly equal measure." - Mark Fedeli
