After four days in L.A., the first stop on my list, was to check in at Camino Real, a five-star hotel built in 1567 and a former convent, located in the centre of the colonial town of Oaxaca (which at a glance, could be mistaken for a village in Spain). With Spanish Baroque architecture and authentic colonial Mexican touches surrounded by perfectly manicured courtyards and gardens, this unique hotel is deemed one of the city’s ‘Colonial Estate Treasures’.
