Hotel Fortin Plaza

Located just over a mile north of the Oaxaca city center, Hotel Fortin Plaza offers a quiet retreat within a 30-minute walk of top city attractions. After you've explored the sites, you can wind down with a dip in the heated pool and a meal at Nizhanda Restaurant. According to past visitors, this hotel's warm and gracious staff is a main selling point for choosing to stay here. The restaurant, on the other hand, garners mixed reviews: Some report an exceptionally delicious breakfast buffet, while others lament the dishes, describing them as unmemorable and overpriced. Once you've soothed your appetite, head to your well-appointed accommodations. The hotel's guest rooms and suites come outfitted with wooden furniture, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, coffee makers and complimentary Wi-Fi access. What's more, guests staying here can enjoy in-room dining, a complimentary shuttle to downtown Oaxaca and babysitting services (with advance notice).
