WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

The Casa Mexicana occupies an elegant colonial mansion and is among the most comfortable options in San Cristobal. The boutique hotel retains the mansion’s original design with rooms wrapped around a series of leafy garden courtyards while both the lobby and atrium feature an impressive glass ceiling which floods the entrance with natural light.

San Cristobal abounds with good restaurants but for those looking to eat in, the in-house “Los Magueyes Restaurant” delivers a blend of international and Mexican flavours overlooking one of the tropical courtyards. The Casa Mexicana is in striking distance of the town’s colonial monuments and in addition offers a small spa, art gallery and boutique. Admittedly the hotel is popular with groups yet the warm colonial ambiance is a perfect introduction to San Cristobal and an excellent base for exploring the area.
