Staying in a mix of colonial and modern properties, we discover the wide variety of accommodation styles available in Mexico. Typically, these are of a three-star standard and, when we are based in cities, within the historic centres.



Listed below are some of the standout properties we usually use on this trip.



Puebla: Hotel Colonial Puebla (night 4)







Just one block from the zócalo (main square), Hotel Colonial is a historic building dating to 1668. Originally constructed by Jesuits, it hosted travellers as early as the 18th century. Nowadays, its restaurant is particularly renowned – try the mole poblano, a chilli and chocolate sauce that comes from Puebla.



San Cristóbal: Hotel Diego Mazariegos (nights 9-10)







In the historic centre of San Cristóbal, Hotel Diego Mazariegos is within walking distance of the main square and cathedral. The tranquil courtyard, two restaurants and pub provide ample opportunities to relax and refuel after a busy day exploring.



Worth knowing



Tailor your trip: Extend your adventure by securing extra hotel nights before or after the main itinerary. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Private rooms: Like most tour operators, we pair solo passengers together in a room. If you’d prefer to have a private room, it’s normally possible to do this for a supplement. Speak to your sales representative to book.

Traditional hotels are often preserved in their original style, so rooms can vary in size, décor, and facilities. As always, if you have any queries regarding your room during the trip, please speak to the hotel staff or your tour leader.

Where air-conditioning is not available, you can request a fan from reception (subject to availability).

Free water is not available at Puerta Chichen, including at breakfast; however, you can ask your tour leader to top up your water bottle.
