No isolated resort, the Banyan Tree Puebla is set in a 19th-century building on the edge of the city center…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Barrio del Alto places you alongside Puebla's colonial courtyards, tiled baroque facades, and historic church spires, all easily walkable.
The rooms
Colonial stone accents and handcrafted Talavera pottery meet freestanding soaking tubs, with private balconies framing city spires in select suites.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated infinity pool sits on the roof, looking out across historic church domes toward distant volcanoes.
The spa
Therapists blend traditional Thai bodywork with Mexican botanical remedies in treatment rooms that open onto private stone terraces.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights fill the 24-hour rooftop fitness center beside large mirrored walls.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Pasquinel Bistrot serves regional mole poblano under exposed wooden ceiling beams and historic stone arches.
How it began
Built above Puebla's sixteenth-century tunnels, the restored nineteenth-century structure incorporates subterranean views into the historic Los Lavaderos communal washhouse ruins.
