Otro Oaxaca

Don’t miss the rooftop pool, with its killer views of Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán, or the surreal subterranean spa.

On the rooftop, guests can take in the panoramic views of Oaxaca’s central valleys while lounging on French terry cloth daybeds lining the lap pool. For those who prefer more private swimming quarters, book an hour-long slot at Otro’s subterranean plunge pool, meant to mimic a cenote.

With a mere 16 rooms Otro Oaxaca is modest in scale and always intimate. And with four room categories there’s plenty of variation, from the substantial Superior rooms, with their king beds and patio views, to the 80-square-meter Town House, with its terrace and panoramic views.
