"The breezy sister property to Otro, Hotel Escondido Oaxaca merges a similar eye for brutalist lines with pre-Hispanic details in a restored colonialist heritage house. The property sits a few blocks off the tourist path, a boon for those seeking a quiet retreat from the festive pandemonium around Oaxaca’s zocalo. The entire hotel is open, airy, and filled with oversized tropical plants. Several levels of terraces offer nooks for hiding with a book or cup of coffee. The kitchen incorporates organic, local ingredients into its Mexican-based menu and handmade tortillas for its tacos while sourcing artisan mezcal from the region’s noted producers. End the day at dusk beneath the pergola-covered bar with a bowl of guacamole, tortilla chips, and a lime-spiked Mezcalita. From $320" - Lauren Mowery
"The historical center of the city of Oaxaca is a wonder — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a fantastic tapestry of every era from the 16th century to the present. Hotel Escondido Oaxaca is a blend of its own, a 19th-century house and an attached neo-Brutalist structure, combining to create a contemporary boutique hotel designed with an eye towards blurring the distinctions between old and new." - Mark Fedeli
"Our base was Escondido Oaxaca, a century-old mansion in the Centro Histórico that in 2019 was converted into a boutique hotel by Grupo Habita — these days a byword for cool, contemporary lodgings in Mexico and beyond." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"For a minimalist escape in the vibrant city, look to Escondido Hotel by Mexico’s favorite boutique hotel group Grupo Habito. Mexico’s legendary architect Alberto Kalach renovated the 12-room hotel, which boasts elegant stonework, recessed concrete shelving, and a raw mineral palate."
