Camino Real Oaxaca

Four blocks from Oaxaca’s zócalo, or central plaza, this historic hotel occupies the former Convento de Santa Catalina de Siena, sections of which date back to the 16th century.

The hotel blends Spanish Colonial and indigenous design elements and is dotted with frescoes, fountains, courtyards, and gardens. One-meter-thick (three-foot) walls ensure a cool stay on hot summer days.

El Refectorio provides candlelit and colonial-art filled rooms and outdoor spaces, and showcases traditional moles and other regional cuisine. On Friday nights, guests can attend the hotel’s weekly Guelaguetza, a traditional stage show held in the 16th-century chapel, with music, folkloric dancing, and dinner buffet (surcharge).

Complimentary wireless Internet access is provided in the restaurant and main garden. An independently operated travel agency can arrange a variety of excursions (surcharges).
