Un Sueño Valle de Huajes

Oaxaca City


In the highly competitive league table of Oaxaca hotels, Un Sueño probably wouldn't make the top 10, but there's function and tranquility in its 12 sharp minimalist rooms set on two floors around a sunny patio. Beds are comfy, and there's a pleasant roof terrace where breakfast and drinks are served with views of the hills and mountains.

Original decorative touches in the rooms include deft murals illustrating different stages in the life cycle of the locally abundant huaje tree.
