Hacienda Los Laureles
Oaxaca, Mexico
Rooms
Hacienda Los Laureles has been restored by its gentlemanly German
owner to house 25 rooms, which open onto a long shady porch and
overlook a lush, flower-filled garden. This traditional colonial
style has been maintained in the rooms' dark wooden furniture
and richly coloured, hand-woven Oaxacan bedcovers.
The Deluxe Rooms are on the upper floors and have balconies;
the newer Superior Rooms, where we stayed, share an outdoor
terrace and are set in a separate building by the pool. There are
also several more expensive Master and Junior Suites, which
have a sitting area, a Jacuzzi bathtub and a private patio.
Inside, the old-world ambiance created by the chintz cushions and
white net curtains is paired with modern technology such as
satellite TV, CD players and dedicated outlets for laptops and
mobiles. We had a large bathroom with a bathtub and a
shower; Deluxe Rooms have showers only. But all rooms have stacks
of fluffy white towels, hairdryers, bathrobes and complimentary
French toiletries. Nice touches like bowls of fresh fruit and
welcome messages written in flower petals on the bed complete the
picture of a hotel unafraid of maintaining an aristocratic air.
