Hotel Las Mariposas

Oaxaca City


The fan-cooled rooms and studios with kitchens at this solar-powered hotel surround two tranquil plant-filled patios with a book exchange and dining area where complimentary coffee and sweet bread are served in the morning. The tile-floor rooms are kept impeccably clean and jazzed up a bit with local art and crafts.
