WHERE TO STAY

Excerpts from Viva Oaxaca: Oaxaca is full of great hotel choices. There are charming bed and breakfasts, lavish colonial hotels, upscale modern-ish hotels, and hotels for every budget . . .

The pre-eminent hotel in town is the Camino Real Oaxaca, at Cinco de Mayo 3000, which occupies the 400-year-old ex-convent of Santa Catalina, only a couple of blocks from Santo Domingo church. The Camino Real is as colonial as they come, with gorgeous courtyards . . .

Viva Oaxaca provides detailed descriptions, reviews and detailed contact information for more than a dozen hotels and B&Bs, from the most luxurious to the budget range, most of them located in the historic center.
