Casa Olié  

In the heart of Oaxaca’s historic center—this city-center hotel sits steps from the Zócalo. It’s a 3-minute walk to Zócalo Square, about 8 minutes on foot to Santo Domingo Square, 0.4 mi from the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and 1.9 mi from Auditorio Guelaguetza.

A small boutique hotel with just five air-conditioned rooms, Casa Olié mixes compact comfort with local views. Rooms feature flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers, laptop-compatible safes and in-room coffee/tea makers. Expect daily housekeeping, a garden to gaze from and a cozy city-window spot for your morning coffee.

Complimentary wireless internet and concierge services keep things easy. The hotel offers express check-in/out, luggage storage, a tour assistance desk and transfers to help you explore Oaxaca. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available 24 hours for a surcharge, and there’s a free parking zone for guests.
