Hotel Agua Escondida

Taxco


Facing the zócalo, Hotel Agua Escondida is popular with visiting silver importers and has two swimming pools, a spa and a cafe-bar on a high terrace with unmatchable views of Santa Prisca. The 60 comfortable, remodeled rooms have colonial furnishings and are sometimes discounted during the week. Rooms with balconies overlooking the street suffer from traffic noise.
