"The breezy sister property to Otro, Hotel Escondido Oaxaca merges a similar eye for brutalist lines with pre-Hispanic details in a restored colonialist heritage house. The property sits a few blocks off the tourist path, a boon for those seeking a quiet retreat from the festive pandemonium around Oaxaca’s zocalo. The entire hotel is open, airy, and filled with oversized tropical plants. Several levels of terraces offer nooks for hiding with a book or cup of coffee. The kitchen incorporates organic, local ingredients into its Mexican-based menu and handmade tortillas for its tacos while sourcing artisan mezcal from the region’s noted producers. End the day at dusk beneath the pergola-covered bar with a bowl of guacamole, tortilla chips, and a lime-spiked Mezcalita. 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
