El Callejón Hotel Boutique is a small luxury hotel at Morelos 103 in Barrio de Xochimilco, one of Oaxaca City’s oldest neighborhoods, just north of the historic center. It builds its identity around nature, art, and history, and that combination draws artists, couples, and design-minded travelers who want quiet streets and spacious rooms within walking distance of the city’s galleries and mezcalerías.
Guests pass from a narrow lane into a calm, art-filled compound arranged around an inner courtyard and a lush garden. Rooms are air-conditioned, have private bathrooms, and look onto either the garden or the courtyard, and some have balconies or terraces. The design keeps things minimal so that original artwork, greenery, and natural materials stand out. The on-site bar is a relaxed spot for a mezcal before dinner. Guests rate the hotel 4.8, and reviewers on Tripadvisor often mention its privacy and attentive service.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Rates for two adults recently started around $354 per night including taxes. Book months ahead for Día de Muertos (late October to early November) and the Guelaguetza festival in July, when Oaxaca fills up and prices climb. Xochimilco’s cobbled streets lead to the colonial San Felipe aqueduct, and Templo de Santo Domingo is about a 10 to 15 minute walk south. Taxis are inexpensive for trips to Mercado 20 de Noviembre or the evening scene on Andador Macedonio Alcalá.
