Everything is designed to make you feel at home – from the communal breakfasts in the dining room to the family photos (of previous guests) dotted around the walls. You’ll feel completely at ease slipping off your shoes in the comfy living room and sinking into the soft suede sofa to watch a video on the widescreen TV. Add to this the excellent restaurant next door, which runs cooking lessons in Oaxaca’s cuisine; a medicinal garden with blissful temazcal treatments; and the rooms beautifully decorated with art works and textiles by local Oaxaqueno artists – and you can understand why this is a first choice hotel for honeymooners.You’ll feel as if you’re on one too.Source:i-escape.com Hotels & Resorts in Oaxaca: Hacienda Los LaurelesPosteado el Junio 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Hotels in Mexico, Mexico: Cities, Mexico: Tourism Los Laureles is situated in San Felipe del Aqua – a typically Mexican area 10 minutes north of Oaxaca’s historic centre that takes its name from the colonial aqueduct that supplied water to the city for many years. It’s also one of the quietest parts of town, and barely touched by the 2006 riots. The German managers have given this stylish hacienda a health and beauty focus, with a gym, spa, jogging area, heated jacuzzi and outdoor pool. The stone igloo in the garden is a temazcal, a sweat lodge with medicinal herbs and traditional chanting. Mexico Oaxaca Accommodation: La Casa de los MilagrosPosteado el Junio 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Hotels in Mexico, Mexico: Cities, Mexico: Places, Mexico: Tourism The House of Miracles has earned its name. Built in the 1900’s as a colonial home, it has come unscathed through several major earthquakes and floods, and now survives as one of the older and more elegant buildings in central Oaxaca. The latest miracle was performed by local architect Jorge Quintanar who, in 2001, remodelled the house into a funky 3-bedroom guesthouse. At its heart is a secluded interior patio, around which are arranged the bedrooms, dining room, and common rooms, topped by a lovely roof terrace. It’s nice to see some traditional features preserved beamed ceilings, chandeliers, ceiling fans, a private garden with fountain as well as some original touches, including the specially commissioned wooden furniture. Hostess Adriana Zavala and her husband Ren Cabrera provide a welcome as warm as the ochre walls, and will even show you the secrets of Mexican cooking in their well-equipped kitchen. Otherwise, the restaurants and markets of downtown Oaxaca are just a short walk away.
