9.8/10 Exceptional! (25 reviews)
An exceptional boutique hotel in San Cristobal. The design and decor are elegant and beautifully showcase the work of Juan Martinez Parente, a great Mexican artist – the hotel is in easy walking distance of everything in the city. The staff were unfailingly helpful, polite, and the service impeccable.
