A stay at the Hotel Hacienda los Laureles-SPA is a good reason to visit Oaxaca, a colonial jewel in the south of Mexico, a city with 450 or more years of post-Colombian and Spanish history and more than 3,000 years of pre-Columbian history, well preserved palaces and magnificent baroque churches. The lifestyle of the region is reflected in the accommodations, some refined, some rustic, but unique in their own style.
