Hotel Casa Mexicana

San Cristóbal de las Casas


A gallery as well as a charming colonial hotel, the inviting Casa Mexicana displays modern art alongside traditional fabrics and solid-wood pillars and furnishings. The main patio is filled with a lush tropical garden and the 54 attractive rooms are equipped with cable TV; you’ll find a restaurant, bar and sauna. Unfortunately it's let down by very poor sound proofing.
