Tabáa Hotel Boutique

Set into Barrio de Jalatlaco, a neighbourhood of quiet streets on the edge of Oaxaca's historic centre, Tabáa Hotel & Spa sits ten minutes on foot from the main square. Each room has been designed and furnished individually, with private bathroom, air conditioning, television, and a tea and coffee maker. Local art hangs throughout, available to view or buy. Mornings start with a mini-brunch served on site. Reception runs around the clock, and Wi-Fi is included. Dogs are welcome, space allowing. Closer to home, the mezcal route toward Santiago Matatlán begins less than an hour's drive away. It is a compact stay, built for a city break rather than a resort holiday. Guests can walk to the centre for dinner and be back within minutes, no car required.
