Spira Hotel

“Hotel Spira in Oaxaca is a quiet, cozy spot. Super comfortable bed, an amazing high-pressure shower, and their sweet dog Piraña makes the stay even more special. Highly recommend.”

“Our stay at Spira Hotel was perfection! From the moment we arrived, the staff was very friendly and attentive and gave us a little tour to explain the hotel and all of its beautiful art. We stayed 4 nights and it was in a great, walkable location yet still quiet and relaxing. There is security at the front door 24/7 and the room service and breakfast food was also incredible. The hotel also had adopted a dog, Piraña and she is so sweet we loved seeing her around and giving her pets! I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family.”

“I travel frequently and have stayed at many five-star hotels. I rarely take the time to review, but the people at this hotel were special. The service at Spira was the best I’ve ever experienced. They helped us arrange everything we wanted to do on our trip and were so kind and friendly. On top of that the room was gorgeous. We loved the private patio and outdoor bathtub, and the entire hotel was calm and peaceful. It was walkable to everything we wanted to see in Oaxaca City without being overrun with tourists. And it’s right by an entire market dedicated to ice cream! We will definitely be back.”

“A Gem in the Heart of Oaxaca - Nestled in Oaxaca's Central District, this hotel struck the perfect balance between authentic Mexican charm and refined hospitality. The grounds were beautifully landscaped, the staff were warm and genuinely attentive, and the whole experience felt personal rather than transactional — helped in no small part by Piraña, the hotel's wonderfully charming part time resident dog. Our room was a true sanctuary — spacious, immaculately appointed, and anchored by a bed so comfortable it deserves its own five-star rating. The décor and curated artwork throughout the property were spectacular, reflecting Oaxaca's rich cultural heritage in a way that felt deeply considered rather than merely decorative. If you're visiting Oaxaca and want a stay that goes well beyond the ordinary, this is it. We left already planning our return.”

“We had such a lovely stay here for our friends wedding. The staff were so friendly and I really loved the spacious room with the bathtub outside - that was definitely the highlight of the room. It was quiet, relaxing, and comfortable. Thank you!”

“The hotel is beautifully decorated with Mexican art and the courtyard and roof terrace are lovely. The room was incredibly quiet and comfortable and the shower was especially great! Staff was all friendly and helpful. All around great stay.”

“A Masterpiece of Art, Architecture, and Oaxacan Soul Spira Hotel is an absolute gem that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the rich artistic heritage of Oaxaca. From the moment you step inside, the exquisite taste in decoration is evident—the carefully chosen colors of the walls and thoughtful architecture inspire tranquility while immersing you in the vibrant essence of Oaxacan land. Each room is a unique experience, featuring works by recognized local artists. Our room, inspired by the art of Olguín, was a stunning combination of modern-rustic aesthetics. The private courtyard became our sanctuary—a quiet, secluded space perfect for long baths surrounded by beautiful art pieces. The hotel's art collection is truly remarkable. Standout pieces include the Spira, an archaeological stone engraved into one of the walls, and Cocijo, a striking sculpture dedicated to the Zapotec god of rain and thunder. The attention to detail throughout the property is impeccable, and the staff's knowledge about the art curation adds another layer of appreciation to the experience. Speaking of staff, they were exceptionally attentive to every need. I particularly loved spending time on the terrace during the day, working while sipping their creative piña colada matcha—what an unexpected and delightful combination! Breakfast was both reasonably priced and delicious; the enmoladas with plantain were exceptional. A special touch: complimentary mezcal offered at the front desk, a warm welcome that never got old. The location strikes the perfect balance—nestled in a peaceful neighborhood that offers respite from the city's hustle, yet within walking distance of most plazas and restaurants. The room amenities are truly five-star quality. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates art, architecture, and a tranquil retreat.”
