Bienvenidos/ Welcome
Oaxaca´s latest offering in lodging options is a small hotel with casual and comfortable family ambiance. Once a cozy Bed & Breakfast frequented by students, travelers and "pensionados" seeking a comfortable but affordable place to stay.
Hotel LAS MARIPOSAS boasts a tasteful renovation ( complete with colonial touches) that offers more comforts but retains its cozy atmosphere and its affordability.
It´s 6 suites are all equipped with kitchenette and a private bath.
The second level suite has a enchanting view of Oaxaca´s steepled skyline.
The 7 single or double habitations have their own private bath and ample space for long or short term stays.
In addition, the hotel's location is spectacular. Just 8 blocks walking distance from the Zocalo! (heart of the city). Above all, the attentions and hospitality of the owners, Teresa Villarreal and Lucía Dávila, are what make LAS MARIPOSAS a most desirable place to relax and enjoy the sites and sensations that Oaxaca has to offer.
First-time travelers to Oaxaca or travelers with little knowledge of Spanish can rest assured that they are in good hands. Teresa´s and Lucia´s knowledge of Oaxaca is extensive, and their advice regarding food and dinning, medical care, tourist sites, and nightlife are invaluable.
Also, the layout and all the special touches such as café-style chairs and tables with sun umbrellas create an inviting communal space in which guest may mingle and make new friendships in the courtyard surround by plants and flowers.
The traditional stone fountain in the center, complete with goldfish, softly fills the courtyard where a continental breakfast is served with the sound of falling water. Be assured that this hotel provides a secure and charming home away from home and a great bargain.
