Each of its 23 rooms, all gracefully decorated in warm colors have a bathtub, hair dryer, cable color TV , telephone, and safety deposit box service. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the magnificent Santo Domingo Convent on the charming walking street, Macedonio Alcala. It is only a few blocks to the Zocalo, a cheery meeting place for both Oaxacans and international travelers. Hotel Aitana offers warm, individual attention, high quality, and an unforgettable stay in this colonial city, which boasts colorful tourist attractions and a rich cultural life throughout the year. The hotel staff will provide all the information you need to enjoy your stay in Oaxaca. Just two blocks from the Hotel Aitana is the 17th century Basilica de la Soledad. The Church complex consists of a gorgeous plaza and esplanade bordered by two Hispanic churches, The City Hall, and The School of Fine Arts.
