Discover lost civilisations, Spanish colonial heritage, natural beauty and a rich and unique culture
Staying in a mix of colonial and modern properties, we discover the wide variety of accommodation styles available in Mexico. Typically, these are of a three-star standard and, when we are based in cities, within the historic centres.
Listed below are some of the standout properties we usually use on this trip.
Puebla: Hotel Colonial
Just one block from the Zócalo (main square), Hotel Colonial is a historic building dating to 1668. Originally constructed by Jesuits, the property was used to host travellers as early as the 18th century. Nowadays, its restaurant is particularly renowned – try the mole poblano, a savoury chilli and chocolate sauce that is reputedly the best of its kind in the world.
San Cristóbal: Hotel Diego de Mazariegos
Hotel Diego de Mazariegos offers colonial-style rooms with complimentary wifi. With a convenient position in the historic centre of San Cristóbal, the hotel is within walking distance of the main square and colourful cathedral. The tranquil courtyard, two restaurants and pub provide ample opportunities to relax and refuel after a busy day exploring.
Palenque: La Aldea del Halach Huinic
Set in tropical gardens on the outskirts of Palenque National Park, Hotel La Aldea del Halach Huinic provides a tranquil place to stay. It has been designed to harmonise with its natural surroundings and minimise its environmental impact. The outdoor pool is a focal point of the property, and all rooms come with a balcony and hammock overlooking the gardens. Keep your eyes peeled for monkeys and toucans!
