| Camino Real Oaxaca WE LIKE: One of the most beautiful historical properties in Mexico, great location and courtyard swimming pool Formerly the 16th Century convent of Santa Catalina, the hotel is a beautiful combination of the historical, together with the excellent facilities and services of the prestigious Camino Real Group. In one of the bougainvillea decked courtyards is a stunning swimming pool, surrounded by ancient stone walls, restored frescoes and flowering shrubs. In another, tables from the restaurant spill out under colonnades, and echoes of Gregorian chants drift in the breeze. Rooms from $236 US Dollars

| Casa Oaxaca WE LIKE: Stylish and chic, downtown location, pretty swimming pool A real haven in bustling Oaxaca, the Casa Oaxaca is surely the city's most artistic hotel. From a traditional colonial house the owners have created a statement in contemporary style, simple but alluring, and comfortable for a long or short stay. With just five rooms and two exceptional suites, this Casa will never be overcrowded. Reserve the whole hotel for a family group and you can revel in the luxury of a secluded swimming pool, personal chef and priceless privacy. The Casa is also ideal for single guests or couples looking for a balance of personal space and community that is hard to find in a large hotel. And if you're planning some artistic composition of your own, you've found the ideal retreat. Rooms from $228 US Dollars

| Parador del Dominico WE LIKE: Great location; modern in-room facilities; good value The Parador del Dominico is a long-standing feature on central Oaxaca's lodging lists, and has always been a very welcome one. The attractions for us lie in the simple, clean and unfussy lines that harmonize old and new. Traditional materials of stone and tile are tastefully mixed with modern furniture and even halogen lighting in the dining room. Suprisingly modern facilities include satellite TV, minibar and phone, together with a hook-up for fax or PC. Rooms from 948 Mexican Pesos

| Victoria WE LIKE: Pretty gardens, large swimming pool, great views The Hotel Victoria allows its guests to enjoy all that Oaxaca has to offer, and a relaxing retreat to come home to. After a day's sightseeing, it's bliss to come back and have a refreshing dip in the pool, followed by a drink on the terrace - the perfect place for postcard writing as you gaze down over the city. If you're feeling energetic, you could even have a game of tennis at dusk! The hotel is set up on the Fortin hill, about five minutes out of town by car - there is a regular shuttle service from the hotel which drops you off downtown and picks up again. This service means that you don't miss being in the center of town at all. Rooms from $125 US Dollars
