- Families needing two beds
Less suited to
- Travellers seeking a minimalist or design-forward stay
- Those wanting walkable nightlife immediately outside
Rooms: courtyard or city views
Standard rooms face the inner courtyard and start at 18 m². Step up to a Deluxe room and you get a private balcony with city views and a bit more floor space — the Deluxe Double stretches to 25 m² with two queen beds.
The terrace
The hotel has a terrace — one of the few outdoor spaces to get a proper look across San Cristóbal de Las Casas without leaving the property. Useful for a morning coffee or an early evening before heading out.
On-site restaurant
There is a restaurant on site, which removes the pressure of finding breakfast or a late meal in an unfamiliar city. Room service is also available, so eating in is a real option rather than just a listed amenity.
Parking and pet access
The hotel has a parking garage at no extra charge — rare and genuinely useful in a colonial city centre where street parking is competitive. Pet-friendly rooms are available for guests travelling with animals.
