It centers on the colonial capital Tlaxcala de Xicohtencatl, with the murals of Cacaxtla and the ceremonial pyramids of Xochitecatl, the dormant La Malinche volcano and its national park, centuries-old pulque haciendas, and Huamantla's sawdust-carpet festival, La Noche que Nadie Duerme.

Local atmosphere

Overview

Tlaxcala state's lodging centers on the small colonial capital Tlaxcala de Xicohtencatl, whose Centro Historico around the Plaza de la Constitucion holds the state's oldest hotels; the Pueblo Magico of Huamantla to the east, known for its boutique hotels and restored haciendas; the industrial and transit hub Apizaco, home to branded business hotels; the textile town of Chiautempan just outside the capital; and rural lodging scattered near Parque Nacional La Malinche and the pulque-hacienda country toward Cuaxomulco and Calpulalpan.

Booking tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

Tip

Reserve Huamantla hotels well ahead of mid-August, when the Feria de Huamantla and the overnight sawdust-carpet procession fill the town's limited room count

Tip

Tlaxcala city's Centro Historico hotels around the Plaza de la Constitucion book up during state holidays and the Feria de Tlaxcala in late October and early November

Tip

A car is worth arranging for the pulque-hacienda hotels near Cuaxomulco and outside Huamantla, since they sit on rural roads away from bus routes

Tip

Apizaco's branded hotels along the Antigua Estacion corridor offer the most predictable business-class value if Tlaxcala city and Huamantla are full

Tip

Cabin lodging near Parque Nacional La Malinche fills on weekends with hikers heading up the volcano, so weekday stays are easier to book on short notice

Tip

Pack layers for overnight stays near La Malinche and in the hacienda properties, since Tlaxcala's high-elevation plateau runs cool after dark year-round
