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. The hotel itself, located in the heart of the Historic Center of Oaxaca, occupies what is a 16th century monument. Faded frescos have been rescued along the corridors. Valued at millions of pesos, twelve masterpieces of colonial painting hang in the lobby and in El Refectorio, the main restaurant.

Guests staying in the Camino Real Club enjoy larger and more spacious rooms plus luxurious special amenities. A lavish buffet breakfast at the El Refectorio restaurant and cocktails with snacks served each afternoon by the pool, are also included in the rate. A fruit basket and welcome letter are delivered upon arrival. Bathrobes and slippers are provided for use by guests during their stay. Rooms are also equipped with coffee-makers which make it possible to savor the famous Oaxacan coffee .
