Casa Oaxaca

Oaxaca City


Huge rooms, luxury pool, arty food and contemporary-meets-colonial courtyard in a converted 18th-century colonial mansion. What more could you want? Fabulous service? They have that too, along with art exhibits, an excellent little patio restaurant, mezcal tastings and cooking classes with the chefs. No kids under 12.
