Hotel Agua Escondida

Hotel Agua Escondida sits directly on Plaza Borda in the heart of Taxco de Alarcon, a block from the Parroquia de Santa Prisca, making it one of the most centrally located hotels in the town's historic silver-trading core. The building follows Taxco's colonial architectural style, with white walls, wood balconies, and terracotta roof tiles matching the surrounding streetscape, and it has operated as a hotel for decades as a fixture of the plaza. Rooms are split between Standard rooms and larger Suites, simply furnished in keeping with the property's traditional character rather than a modern resort finish. An outdoor pool sits in a courtyard within the building, a welcome retreat from Taxco's warm afternoons, and a rooftop terrace opens onto views over the town's tiled roofs and the Santa Prisca bell towers, popular for evening drinks. The on-site restaurant serves Mexican dishes for breakfast and dinner, and its plaza-facing position makes it a common meeting spot for both guests and Taxco residents. There is no spa or fitness center, and the hotel's appeal rests almost entirely on its unmatched central location: silver shops, the church, and Taxco's compact network of colonial streets and markets are all within a few minutes' walk. Service is straightforward front-desk support typical of Taxco's family-run and long-established hotels.
