Casa Antonieta – Oaxaca’s Hidden Historic Sanctuary

Positioned just steps from the Zócalo and the San Pablo Cultural Center, Casa Antonieta is more than a hotel—it’s a celebration of Oaxacan heritage brought to life through design, hospitality, and community. Opened in 2018 in a former 17th-century convent and family home, the property combines colonial architecture with minimalist interiors, local textiles, and contemporary artistry.

Architecture & Atmosphere: Quiet Beauty in the Heart of the City

The hotel is built around a marble courtyard reminiscent of a Moroccan riad, with graceful arches, light-filled channels, and lush greenery. Originally a convent and rescued with care, Casa Antonieta’s symmetrical structure and airy layout invite calm and comfort in the bustling Centro.

Intimate Rooms with Local Soul

Casa Antonieta offers nine boutique rooms and one larger suite, each showcasing locally crafted design—from Teotitlán textiles to rattan headboards and terrazzo floors. Options include:

  • Standard King (e.g. Antonieta Standard)

  • Junior Suites with inner patios or shared terraces

  • The Apapacho Suite, ideal for families or longer stays with kitchen space.
    Top-floor rooms open to a plant-filled terrace frequented by hummingbirds

Muss Café & Amá Terraza: Community & Creative Energy

Ground-floor Muss Café is a local favorite for specialty coffee—its highlight being cold brew made with cacao nibs—and light café fare. Upstairs, Amá Terraza doubles as a rooftop lounge and natural wine bar, perfect for casual dining and cocktails at golden hour, often sharing space with local creatives.

Culture at Your Doorstep

Guests are immersed in Oaxaca’s creative scene—steps from the Textile Museum, San Pablo Cultural Center, galleries, shops, and acclaimed restaurants such as Casa Oaxaca and Criollo. Despite its central location, Casa Antonieta maintains a restful ambiance, removed from nearby nightlife crowds.

Guest Impressions: Rated Superb

Casa Antonieta is consistently rated around 9.4–9.9 for its service, location, and atmosphere. Guest reviews praise:

“Beautiful boutique hotel with attentive staff and amazing breakfast on the terrace.”
“Tiny jewel... relaxing courtyard and rooftop, friendly staff, perfect location.”

Summary

Casa Antonieta is perfect for travelers seeking cultural immersion, quiet elegance, and handcrafted hospitality in one of Mexico’s most vibrant cities.
