Hotel Hacienda Los Laureles

For discerning guests who want to avoid the bustle of the big city and at the same time enjoy a unique locale, a relaxing stay at the 5 star Hotel Hacienda Los Laureles-SPA may just be the perfect solution.

Located in a quiet residential area of Oaxaca, this 18th century hacienda reopened its doors in 2003 following an extensive renovation. Here, you'll reap the rewards of stylish boutique respite enhanced by traditional Mexican architecture and a personable staff.

This intimate Boutique hotel, boasting just 23 guestrooms, imparts the look and feel of a private hacienda. Thick stucco walls, terra cotta floors, ornate wrought iron furniture and colorful Mexican fabrics give the hotel an inviting, informal appeal. Outdoors, points of interest include colorful gardens and the fine laurel trees that were preserved during the renovation. Relax in the hotel’s newly expanded Petit Spa with a traditional "temazcal" or indigenous steam bath, and enjoy fine traditional Mexican fare and international cuisine in its award-winning restaurant. A quick trip into Oaxaca, designated by UNESCO as one of Mexico’s World Heritage sites, will bring you to the breathtaking archeological digs at Monte Albán, home of the ancient Zapotecs. Browse the open Oaxaca markets for a keepsake of Oaxacan green or black pottery; ornate colonial churches; or museums that house the treasures of Mexico’s past.
