"The breezy sister property Hotel Escondido Oaxaca blends brutalist lines with pre-Hispanic details in a restored colonial heritage house a few blocks off the tourist path, offering open, airy spaces filled with oversized tropical plants and several terraces for quiet nooks. The kitchen uses organic local ingredients and handmade tortillas while sourcing artisan mezcal from regional producers, and I ended the day beneath the pergola-covered bar with guacamole, tortilla chips, and a lime-spiked Mezcalita. Rates start from $320." - Lauren Mowery
"An architecturally striking, small-scale property from a noted boutique group and a member of Design Hotels, blending a restored colonial building with a contemporary tower designed by a prominent architect. With only 12 rooms, the hotel emphasizes thoughtful communal spaces—a courtyard patio, library, and rooftop pool—and rooms furnished by local artisans that feature rustic wood elements and private outdoor areas; top suites are notably larger. Situated in the heart of downtown, it offers a high-end, design-driven splurge for travelers seeking a central, carefully curated stay." - Austa Somvichian-Clausen Austa Somvichian-Clausen Austa Somvichian-Clausen is a travel and lifestyle journalist living in New York City.

"The historical center of the city of Oaxaca is a wonder — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fantastic tapestry of every era from the 16th century to the present. Hotel Escondido Oaxaca is a blend of its own, a 19th-century house and an attached neo-Brutalist structure, combining to create a contemporary boutique hotel designed with an eye towards blurring the distinctions between old and new." - Mark Fedeli
"Our base was Escondido Oaxaca, a century-old mansion in the Centro Histórico that in 2019 was converted into a boutique hotel by Grupo Habita — these days a byword for cool, contemporary lodgings in Mexico and beyond." - Travel + Leisure Editors
