Banyan Tree Puebla

Idyllic Puebla sanctuary.

Located in the colonial city of Puebla about two hours east of Mexico City, the Banyan Tree Puebla celebrates Mexican culture, history, and cuisine. Several museums and Puebla Cathedral are within walking distance from the hotel.

Insider Tip

Don’t miss Trinitarias Garden, which is located next to the ruins of an ancient convent and accessed from the hotel through a tunnel.

Where You’re Staying

The hotel is housed in an elegant 19th century building and has just 78 rooms. The overall design blends vintage craftsmanship with modern luxuries. Each room is slightly different but what they have in common is dark floors and wood accents, offset by original artwork and local textiles. Bathrooms continue the neutral color palette and some feature deep soaking tubs.

Where to Dine

Multiple dining options here include the all-day Bistrot Pasquinel, showcasing authentic Mexican cuisine crafted from organic ingredients and Cello Cucina Italiana for homemade Italian dishes. Head to the rooftop Saffron for Thai cuisine and toast the end of the day with a drink at Los Lavaderos bar.

Where to Relax

Squeeze in a workout at the fitness center, which is stocked with treadmills, exercise bikes, and free weights, or soak up the sun from the rooftop swimming pool. Get pampered at the spa, where treatments are inspired by the history and traditions of Mexico and incorporate indigenous ingredients.

What to Do

Explore the Zocalo, Puebla’s main square which is surrounded by historical buildings and bordered on one side by the Baroque-style Catedral de Puebla. Shop for local talavera pottery and make a stop at the UNESCO-designated Palafoxian Library, the first and oldest public library in the Americas.
