Casona de la China Poblana
Mexico: Puebla: Puebla
Dating to 1600, this 10-room property underwent an extensive renovation in 2005 and is now one of Puebla's most luxurious boutique hotels. True to its colonial Mexican design, the main entrance opens to a delightful patio framed with arched porticos, with an elegant staircase leading to the second floor, and a lounge area with full bar service, an ideal spot for relaxing and enjoying a glass of fruit infused water or margarita after a day of touring. Each accommodation mixes contemporary furnishings such as flat screen TVs and large comfortable platform beds with traditional Mexican artistry to include wrought iron railings, colorful handmade tiles, and original woodwork. One bedroom has two queen size beds, the remaining have king size. The restaurant Ekos serves contemporary Mexican cuisine and the adjoining bar, El Aposentillo, serves varied delectable cocktails and tequilas.
This hotel is perfectly located in the center of downtown Puebla, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its authentic colonial architecture. Within easy walking distance are the city's most important historical landmarks: the Zócalo, Puebla Cathedral, countless ornate churches and the Palafoxiana library. Guests to this city should not miss tasting authentic Mole Poblana, a savory regional dish made with chocolate, or visiting a Talavera studio to view the local handmade earthenware that originated in this city during colonial times.
