Majagua Boutique Hotel
Art Deco bones with a multicultural, design-forward soul. Earthy-green color palette, potted cacti throughout, curated contemporary art, and a speakeasy-style bar on the rooftop. Intimate and stylish without being pretentious.
Rooms vary significantly in size — the Signature Room at 27m² is the largest and gets excellent natural light on the top floor. Worth the step-up from $214.
Why It Matters
One of the only repurposed Art Deco buildings in Oaxaca operating as a hotel. Strictly adults-only, listed on Tablet Hotels and featured in the Michelin Guide. The welcome mezcal cocktail, included breakfast, and the Endémico rooftop restaurant — led by a Le Cordon Bleu-trained Oaxacan chef — make it a genuine standout in a crowded market.
Majagua is a 14-room adults-only boutique hotel set inside a restored 1950s Art Deco mansion right in Oaxaca's historic center. Every room gets a king bed and artisan toiletries, decorated in the hotel's signature multicultural style: Oaxacan textiles and local crafts sitting alongside objects from Asia and Africa. A complimentary craft cocktail greets you at check-in, continental breakfast is included, and the rooftop Endémico restaurant-bar is one of the better terrace dining spots in the city. No pool, no spa — but the location and atmosphere compensate for both.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Classic Room
From USD158 / nightThe entry-level room, and at 17m² it is the smallest in the house. Has its own private patio — a genuinely nice touch for morning coffee. King bed, flat-screen TV, artisanal toiletries. Décor mixes textures and colors in the hotel's signature local-meets-global style.
King (200x190cm) · 17 sqm
Premium Room with Patio
From USD199 / nightGround-floor room combining ample interior space (22m²) with a private outdoor patio — the best of both worlds if you want room to breathe outside. Décor blends local Oaxacan elements with international touches. A meaningful upgrade over the Classic Room's patio option.
King (200x190cm) · 22 sqm
Signature Room
From USD214 / nightThe top of the collection. At 27m² it is the largest room in the house, sitting on the top floor with excellent natural light. The standout piece is a buffalo-skin leather armchair sourced from Bucharest — the hotel's design eclecticism at its most committed. Oaxacan local details mix with African elements throughout. Worth the premium.
King (200x190cm) · 27 sqmSunroom
From USD173 / nightGround-floor room built around natural light. The large window defines the whole interior — it makes the 21m² feel bigger than it is. Interior design mixes Oaxacan local elements with Asian objects. A step up from the Classic in both size and light.
King (200x190cm) · 21 sqmSuperior Up-Level Room
From USD188 / nightFirst-floor room with ample space and strong natural light. Décor fuses Oaxacan craftsmanship with elements from other cultures. At 22m² it shares the same footprint as the Premium Patio room but sits elevated. Good for those who want space without needing the outdoor patio.

How you'll actually spend your days.
The hotel has a dedicated groups and weddings program, with event space on the terrace and personalized packages available for small celebrations.
An in-house mezcal tasting experience available as part of a package (minimum 2-night stay required). Mezcal is central to Oaxacan culture and the hotel leans into it — mezcal flows freely at the speakeasy bar and the tasting package gives a structured introduction to local producers.
A curated 4-day route designed by the hotel to help guests explore the best of Oaxaca state — covering colonial architecture, indigenous markets, the Ethnobotanical Garden, Monte Albán ruins, local mezcalerías, and traditional village visits. A ready-made plan particularly useful for first-time visitors.
