La Purificadora, Puebla, a Member of Design Hotels

La Purificadora is a boutique Hotel located adjacent to the Cathedral de San Francisco within an archaeological park like location. Located in a former Ice factory the spaces are open and very inviting. Rooms are comfortable and the beds make for a very good nights sleep. Service is very good and the staff is very attentive.There is a bar and restaurant on site that serve excellent meals. I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone staying in Puebla.

When unsure, we usually go for a Marriott property. First time that we have had regrets. An interesting structure though not great on cool evenings. First floor bedroom that was adequate. Ground floor had an interesting uneven stone? floor but take care, bits missing so holes where you can give yourself an injury. We spent two nights. The first morning we found it was a buffet breakfast which included the local wildlife. I became very sick that day, and as dinner had been at the hotel, one assumes that it was the buffet. How they left the food uncovered and made no attempt to keep the various birds out of it I do not understand. I spent around 20 hours in bed. The second night there were apparently three rooms occupied, including the one above our room. The sound proofing if any ineffective, I could hear the tv programs all night. I complained to the reception, received a reply that did not take the issues seriously and had to complain through Marriott. Curiously the breakfast on the second morning was served from the kitchen. Sorry, but we had a dreadful stay and the offer to repeat it was inappropriate. We found a much better and much more reasonable accomodation on our second visit to Puebla.

It is located very close to el centro historico, as well as lots of good restaurants. Good restaurants include high end, fancy restaurants as well as good local casual restaurants. Rooms are very comfortable and include high end amenities. The service is good, but not quite as good as when I used to go before the pandemic. Breakfast was very good, and evening drinks by the fire pit were great.
