Camino Real Oaxaca Hotel in Oaxaca, Mexico

Gallery

Camino Real Oaxaca is located in the heart of the Historic Center of Oaxaca in what is a 16th century monument. Faded frescos have been rescued along the corridors. Valued in millions of pesos, twelve masterpieces of colonial painting hang in the lobby and in El Refectorio, the main restaurant. Built in 1576 as the Convent of Santa Catalina de Siena, for nearly 300 years the corridors were tread by the dainty feet of the religious.

The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) supervised interior decoration and teams of experts undertook the task of restoring the frescoes that adorned the ancient walls. The floors were rearranged according to the original design and artistic treasures of yesteryear were repaired. No two rooms in the Camino Real Oaxaca are alike, but all provide modern comfort in a Spanish colonial setting.

Location

Set in the heart of Mexico’s most regal provincial capital, the Camino Real Oaxaca reflects the vice-regal splendor of New Spain in a magnificent valley where a millennium-old way of life bathes in a climate close to perfection.
