Hotel b¨o

San Cristóbal de las Casas


It's all about the snob value at Hotel b¨o, a boutique hotel that seems to be more Miami Beach than San Cristobal; it definitely breaks the traditional colonial-architecture barrier. Think supermodern, trendy lines and unique, artsy touches. The large rooms and suites are elegant and feature glass-tile bathrooms with ceiling showers, while the flowery gardens host fine water features.

The excellent Restaurante LUM is on the premises.
