Airy, beautiful old hacienda renovated/updated to be a hotel. The little touches really make this place sing - the doors to your room and the four sided key, the "courtyard" sitting area, the local artistry, the hammocks, spiral staircase... The rooftop restaurant area is beautiful. Since it's rare to have buildings with more than two or three floors in Oaxaca, the views are great so definitely plan to have a drink/ meal up there twice - once during the day and once at night. When it got cool in the evening, the staff brought out a shawl for my wife. The little bar attached to the hotel is fantastic to have a drink after a long day of wandering, too. Staff (and pretty much everybody we encountered during our stay for that matter) was very nice. ||The only downside was our room didn't have much in the way of storage areas - no closet or dresser for clothes meant our suitcases were just out the whole time and made the room feel a bit cramped, not that we spent much time there. Oh, and the water cooler thing in the hallway had a rosemary infusion. Rosemary water? Hard pass hah. ||I would definitely recommend this spot.
