La Casona de Tita

Oaxaca City


Would you like the room with the 18th-century wrought-iron headboard, or one with a precious 16th-century wardrobe, or perhaps the one with the beautiful Filipino chest brought to Mexico in a Chinese boat during the colonial era? The Tita is one of Oaxaca’s most exquisite and exclusive digs, with six huge rooms decorated with a mix of antiques and modernity.

And if you grow attached to that fabulous modern painting hung up in your room, you can take it home with you when you leave – for a price.
