Hotel Boutique Casa Zevallos

Hello hello's- We are embarrassed to note, given how much work our company does throughout the beautiful country of Mexico, neither one of us had been to Cordoba. As we headed from Veracruz to Oaxaca, for work we opted to spend one night at Casa Zevallos on the square in Cordoba. It did not take long ( less than 5 minutes) to realize 24 hours was woefully inadequate to enjoy this amazingly historic city and the magic of Casa Zevallos. It clearly is a treasure designed to sip slowly like aged mezcal. The hotel, boasting a rich history dating to the 17th and 18th century is but 5 distinctly designed rooms each unique based on past residents. I must say....as I wandered off the street to the second floor "check in" I was swept into another dimension of both time and emotion as a subtle tropical fragrance beckoned me forward. We were warmly welcomed and ushered into our abode only to be mesmerized by the quest to make each memorable quarter superb. Definitely schedule one dinner on the veranda overlooking the splendid vista of the square itself.... sunset to after dark is a treat. I struggle to not delineate each and every surprise but .... so many of life's best memories are unexpected so I offer this as your gift. Please go, visit Casa Zevallos, their lovely staff, beautiful rooms and the elegant history of Cordoba. You won't be disappointed.

I’ll start by saying that this is arguably the best hotel in Cordoba in terms of location, interiors and rich history. There’s no doubt about that. In fact, even though this was my first time staying here I was pretty familiar with it because my family stayed there in 2019 to celebrate my nephew’s baptism. I was pretty excited about my stay, however, I got a room with a balcony (Condes) and the noise at a bar next door was so loud that I could not sleep before 3 am every night I spent there. It was truly unbearable. While I recognize that this is not directly a hotel’s problem and I’m sure it’s out of their hands, I just think travelers should be warned about this situation. When I told the concierge about it. She simply replied that people had been complaining lately but that there was nothing they could do about it. It surprised me as I did not find a single review talking about it. I’m disappointed as I was already planning a stay here in April. Sadly I’ll have to find another hotel.
