Casa Azul is approximately 9km from Oaxaca International Airport (OAX).
The journey typically takes around 20 to 25 minutes, depending on traffic. It’s a straightforward route into the city, making Casa Azul easily accessible while still offering a quiet, central base for exploring Oaxaca.
Hotel Azul is at the start of its sustainability program, bringing it into line with the standards that we would expect. These steps include:
The hotel is a boutique, design-led property that places strong emphasis on local culture, using Oaxacan textiles, art and handmade furnishings throughout – a gesture towards cultural and community sustainability.
It has been listed among hotels in Oaxaca said to be “taking steps towards sustainability,” though specific measures such as energy use, waste reduction or water conservation are not detailed online.
Yes, children are welcome at Casa Azul Oaxaca.
While the hotel has a calm, design-focused atmosphere that tends to appeal to adults, it does not restrict families or younger guests. However, there are no dedicated children’s amenities such as play areas, kids’ menus or family-sized suites, so it may be better suited to older children or those comfortable in a more tranquil setting.
It works well for culturally engaged families looking to explore the heart of Oaxaca on foot.
Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzmán (5-minute walk): One of Mexico’s most beautiful Baroque churches, surrounded by cactus gardens and a striking former monastery turned museum.
Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca (5-minute walk): Housed within the Santo Domingo complex, this museum showcases pre-Hispanic artefacts, Mixtec treasures from Monte Albán and colonial art.
Andador Turístico (Macedonio Alcalá Street) (2-minute walk): A lively pedestrian street lined with art galleries, cafés, artisan shops and musicians – ideal for an evening stroll.
Ethnobotanical Garden (6-minute walk): A guided-only garden highlighting the extraordinary plant diversity of Oaxaca, set against dramatic stone backdrops and historic buildings.
Local Markets (10–15-minute walk): Explore the bustling Mercado 20 de Noviembre and Mercado Benito Juárez for everything from handmade chocolate and woven rugs to tlayudas and tamales.
Contemporary Art Museum (MACO) (7-minute walk): A small but vibrant space showcasing local and national contemporary artists in a colonial-era house.
Oaxaca hotels are often more on the simple side of things and Hotel Azul makes this charming feature. A wonderful welcome and comfortable, if simple rooms, make it a homely base from which to explore.
