Nestled in the heart of Oaxaca’s historic center, the Majagua Hotel Boutique offers an adults-only haven where charm and comfort meet affordability. Recently renovated with sleek finishes that elevate both its style and atmosphere, this intimate 14-room stay strikes a perfect balance between cosmopolitan flair, Oaxacan-tinged vibrancy, and colonial charm. The preserved exterior, complemented by a curated collection of contemporary art, an earthy color palette, potted cacti, and a striking staircase, all contribute to its unique vibe.
The hotel is also home to one of the city’s best rooftop dining experiences, Endémico—a vibrant restaurant and bar serving a fusion of international flavors with a touch of Oaxacan inspiration. Savor refreshing Micheladas and nibble on chapulines (crunchy grasshoppers, a local delicacy).
Majagua’s spacious guestrooms reflect Oaxaca’s cultural richness while maintaining a modern and visually-driven edge. The plush in-room bathrobes are a snug fit, too.
To rehash, let’s not forget the unbeatable location. Situated in Oaxaca City’s heart, Majagua places you just steps away from the city’s must-see sights—whether you’re exploring the majestic Santo Domingo Temple, soaking in the lively atmosphere at the 20 de Noviembre Market, or wandering through its colorful streets exhibiting the capital’s storied past and omnipresent authenticity. History enthusiasts, food lovers, and travelers looking to immerse themselves in the spirit of Oaxaca will find wallet-friendly Majagua the perfect home base.
