Spira Hotel

La Spira is a small, chic and art filled boutique hotel in the Centro of Oaxaca. The hotel has a super cool, classy, artful interior design. Each room has original art and modern design. The location is great; it's within a few blocks of the Zocolo, mercados, and cathedrals. The neighborhood felt very safe, but there is somone on staff 24/7. The room we had is well designed but small. It had one window to the courtyard so if you want privacy, the shade must be down so the room takes on a bit of a cave feeling. Because the room was small, it would have been great if the platform bed were high even to slide a suitcase under, like they make on cruise ships. The other issue with the bed was the sharp wood corners which are shin height, guaranteeing a smashed and bruise leg when trying to navigate around the room. The other design vs function issue is the round shelf under the sink. While I understand it is forward to hide the plumbing, it means there is no space for your feet when you stand in front of the vanity, so the tendency is to smash your toes into the metal shelf repeatedly. The other issue is a safety one. We had a very early start one day and had to wake up the security person. He had to unlock the front gate/door with a key. These means in the case of a fire, everyone would be trapped in the building. I would suggest a knob deadbolt or another type of lock that could be operated by anyone in the case of an emergency.

Unique artist inspired hotel. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were very helpful. Parking was a breeze. Great location.

Wonderfully designed hotel. It feels an oasis in a different part of town. The thought that goes into each room is really wonderful, and hands down we had one of the best showers we’ve ever had. We had a car, and they were very kind to always facilitate parking outside. Our only small gripes were that the room does open right onto the courtyard, so we always had the blind down for privacy. The also wasn’t that much space for storage. Finally, the breakfast didn’t feel up to the standard that the rest of the hotel has set.

Beautiful small hotel in historic district, conveniently located less than 10 minutes away (walking distance) from the towns main square. Rooms are very nicely set, as well as the bathrooms. Staff is friendly and there’s a terrace where you can have breakfast. Definitely would return.

This hotel is super cute and and very safe and quiet. Everything is within walking distance. I loved it so much! It’s aesthetically pleasing ❤️

I truly picked a great hotel - Spira Hotel - for my stay. Each room pictured on this site is exactly as you will find it and more. The upkeep and cleanliness of the hotel reflects the pride the owners have in their property. I walked everywhere in Oaxaca City. And there are plenty of shopping, site seeing, and restaurants within minutes of the front door. I would highly recommend this hotel to people who aren't shy about walking around and who appreciate a more personalized hotel. At the end of the day, being back in my room was just amazing. (I was in the Monochromatica room.) I really can't say enough about the uniqueness and the upkeep of this hotel. Oh..and the bed...wonderful!

The Hotel is wonderful and is designed like a art hotel, it is very pleasant the architect design and interior of living rooms. The hotel rooms are made very unforgettable, best details included. The bathroom is also an art piece! The illumination, colors, the paintings, floor, everything is amazing!!

Conveniently located near thd metcado de noviembre and most place of interest. They provide potable water and nepresso capsules. However, the bed is shorter than normal.

We loved this hotel. I think it's brand new -- there were almost no reviews when we booked it. The room (9) was spacious, with a huge leather sofa and a nook off to the side for clothes and luggage storage. There was an outdoor patio between the outer door and the room and that patio has a lounge chair and bathtub. They got the shade design just right so we actually used both in the heat of the afternoon. The hotel staff were super friendly and helpful. The cleaning staff noticed when we put out the little cleaning card and tidied up invisibly, even in the late afternoon. The location is about two blocks west of the city center area. There are slightly more convenient hotels in town, but I had no complaints. Would definitely stay here again.
