An 18th-century house on Maria Adelina Flores converted into a quiet hotel of about 40 rooms set around two planted patios and a colonnaded walkway. It is three blocks east of the Zocalo, keeps its original beams and tiled floors, and represents some of the steadiest value in the centro.
Hotel Casavieja occupies an 18th-century house on Calle Maria Adelina Flores, three blocks east of the Zocalo in the historic centre of San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas. The roughly 40 rooms sit around two planted patios linked by a colonnaded walkway, and the building keeps its original ceiling beams and tiled floors rather than a modernised finish. Room types run from Standard to a Junior Suite, with Twin Rooms available for friends travelling together. The on-site restaurant serves breakfast and regional Mexican dishes, and there is a small bar overlooking one of the patios. There is no spa, gym, or pool. The hotel's appeal is steady value and a quiet, traditional setting close enough to the plaza to reach on foot but far enough to avoid the noise of the main tourist streets. A 24-hour reception, on-site parking, and laundry service make it a practical base for both short highland stopovers and longer stays while exploring San Cristobal's markets and nearby indigenous villages.
