This charming hotel was bought in the early 1800s by an Arab businessman and is decorated with more tiles and Arab style motifs than you'd ever expect to find a place like Puebla. It even has a fresco painting of a mosque. If you have tile fetish, this is the place to go! The rooms are spacious, the bathrooms clean.... More

The building is so beautiful that we believe this hotel could be better explored as a boutique hotel with just some improvements. Internet was not working on... More
