Mexico Spa Weblog / Category / » Mexico Cities TourismMexico Merida Accommodation: Hacienda XcanatunPosteado el June 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Mexico Cities Tourism, Mexico Events Tourism, Mexico Fashion Tourism, Mexico Tourism Hacienda Xcanatun (ssh-kana-toon) translates as Tall Stone House in Maya and offers luxury, attention to detail and gracious hospitality. Ex-advertising executives, Jorge and Cristina Ruz, put their heart and soul into creating an authentic hacienda experience. With the help of the best local craftsmen, it took a gruelling five years to restore this abandoned 18th century sisal hacienda well beyond its original grandeur. The result is a beautiful 18-suite hotel where traditional elegance is married with contemporary style and comfort. The former Machine Room is now home to an award-winning gourmet restaurant; the old chapel has become a salon for functions. Outside, acres of vibrant tropical gardens lead to manicured lawns and two freshwater swimming pools. Located a few miles north of Merida, the hacienda is a great starting point for exploring Mexico’s ancient Mayan sites. It’s also a welcome retreat: the spa offers relaxing holistic treatments using indigenous herbs, flowers and honey; the only sounds are from birds and fountains.Source:i-escape.com Mexico Oaxaca Accommodation: Las BugambiliasPosteado el June 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Mexico Art and Culture, Mexico Cities Tourism, Mexico Events Tourism, Mexico Tourism Staying at Bugambilias will give you the distinct impression that you’re living in somebody’s house. Everything is designed to make you feel at home - from the communal breakfasts in the dining room to the family photos (of previous guests) dotted around the walls. You’ll feel completely at ease slipping off your shoes in the comfy living room and sinking into the soft suede sofa to watch a video on the widescreen TV. Add to this the excellent restaurant next door, which runs cooking lessons in Oaxaca’s cuisine; a medicinal garden with blissful temazcal treatments; and the rooms beautifully decorated with art works and textiles by local Oaxaqueno artists - and you can understand why this is a first choice hotel for honeymooners. You’ll feel as if you’re on one too.Source:i-escape.com Mexico Oaxaca Accommodation: Casa OaxacaPosteado el June 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Mexico Cities Tourism, Mexico Oaxaca Tourism, Mexico Tourism, Mexico Tourism Hotels Casa Oaxaca comes with a designer label. Originally an 18th Century colonial house, it’s been completely remodelled by interior designers to create a minimalist, roomy and peaceful atmosphere allowing the maximum amount of space and light. Bright white with a distinctly Mediterranean feel, it’s known as the ‘art hotel’ for the paintings and craftwork by local artists on display in each room (including Oaxaca’s famous tin animals). Casa Oaxaca has been commended for its aesthetically pleasing and stylish design; the inviting deep blue pool, set against ochre walls and surrounded by strategically placed sun loungers looks like something out of a Hockney painting. But the hotel’s claim to fame is the first class restaurant - arguably one of the best in Oaxaca - serving mouthwatering modern cuisine that will round off your sense of holistic wellbeing perfectly. Source:i-escape.com Mexico Oaxaca Accommodation: Hacienda Los LaurelesPosteado el June 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Mexico Cities Tourism, Mexico Oaxaca Tourism, Mexico Tourism, Mexico Tourism Hotels Los Laureles is situated in San Felipe del Aqua - a typically Mexican area 10 minutes north of Oaxaca’s historic centre that takes its name from the colonial aqueduct that supplied water to the city for many years. It’s also one of the quietest parts of town, and barely touched by the 2006 riots. The German managers have given this stylish hacienda a health and beauty focus, with a gym, spa, jogging area, heated jacuzzi and outdoor pool. The stone igloo in the garden is a temazcal, a sweat lodge with medicinal herbs and traditional chanting. And if you feel in the need of a little spiritual cleansing, there’s a native shaman on hand to banish away evil spirits. The serene atmosphere and spacious gardens are designed to make you feel as soothed as possible, and would suit hard-working business people and freewheeling travellers alike. After a day exploring the archaeological sites of Mitla, Monte Alban or Yagul, it’s the perfect sanctuary to return to.Source:i-escape.com Hotels & Resorts in Mexico: Las BrisasPosteado el June 30, 2007 - Categorizado en Mexico Acapulco Tourism, Mexico Cities Tourism, Mexico Tourism, Mexico Tourism Hotels Surrounded in luxury and privacy Las Brisas Acapulco is the most romantic hideaway in the world.
