"Centrally located, just a short walk from many of the city’s main attractions, Pug Seal is a vibrant and vibey boutique hotel in Oaxaca. With frescoes across the property by painter Rafiel Urigias who took inspiration from Zapotec iconography, Pug Seal eschews the neutral interiors favored by many luxury hotels today. The results are striking—deep greens, lilacs, and ochres cover the walls in the central courtyards. Pug Seal’s 20 rooms set across two floors also play with jewel tones, textiles, and texture to bring warmth and tactile interest to the space. Inside you’ll find air conditioning, minibars, and double-paned windows for those facing the street. Breakfast is served at one of the many alfresco dining tables in the ground floor courtyards—from there, you can also access the other common areas and the on-site meeting room."
"A quirky, artsy property located in a restored colonial mansion with around 20 suites, characterized by colorful murals, a light-filled inner courtyard with a large fountain and chair swings, and a playful mix of original architectural details—like wooden beamed ceilings—and modern furnishings. Breakfast is included, and the central location places many dining options at guests' doors; however, proximity to a nearby club can make nights noisy for light sleepers, and the hotel does not have its own full restaurant." - Austa Somvichian-Clausen Austa Somvichian-Clausen Austa Somvichian-Clausen is a travel and lifestyle journalist living in New York City.

"Pug Seal’s inventive, pocket-sized boutique B&Bs feel like perfect little secrets in the vastness of Mexico City — in the compact historical center of Oaxaca City, however, a 20-suite boutique hotel looms larger. Not to worry: Pug Seal Oaxaca is just as tranquil, just as residential in atmosphere as its cousins in the capital, designed as it is around a central courtyard decorated with colorful murals." - Mark Fedeli

"With its opening just before the pandemic, Pug Seal’s Oaxacan outpost marks the Mexico City–based hotel brand’s first foray beyond the nation's capital. In paying homage to Oaxaca’s artistic past and present, Pug Seal tapped artist Rafael Urigias to paint the 20-room hotel’s signature fresco-painted murals, which take inspiration from the canon of Zapotec symbols and iconography."
