“A superb boutique hotel with a fabulous restaurant and excellent service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

I have visited the Casona de la China Poblana on numerous occasions and I think it's probably the best option for sleeping and dining in the city. It's location cannot be beat, the rooms are lovely, the service is truly outstanding and I find that the food is some of the city's best. Forget the Fonda de Santa Clara (the McDonald's of "poblana" cuisine) and head to the lovely interior courtyard of the China Poblana, located in an old building once home to Puebla's famous Catarina de San Juan, also known as the "China Poblana". They have a LA Cetto Cabernet at 180 pesos a bottle and it's wonderful, they have chalupas and other typical fare, but also more elaborated and "modern" moles to choose from. The salads are FANTASTIC -- no iceberg lettuce here! Check it out and you will see -- I know Mexico very well and live and work in the area.

Room Tip: There's a corner room with a lovely little balcony.

“After staying at the Casona de la China Poblana I have noticed all other service based organizations seem disappointing.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2009

After years of fine dinning and leisurely travel I had thought my expectations were higher than most, however after my experience at La Casona de la China Poblana I now know what “good service” really means. The location couldn’t be beat since it is 2 blocks away from the Zocalo (town square) where the majority of activities take place. The rooms were gorgeous with every article handcrafted and decorated. The beds were considerably more comfortable (night and day versus any other mattress) than the other 3 hotels I had visited and other luxuries; such as AC, cable, and more are included. The service went beyond anything I could imagine including personal tour of the other unique rooms, stories of the China Poblana’s tale, gourmet coffee all day and night (free), and conscientious recommendations. I am planning on returning with my girlfriend to stay in their honeymoon suite that comes with rose pedals, candles, and a Jacuzzi! In addition I want to encourage anyone visiting the Puebla area to stay, eat, or even visit Casona de la China Poblana. The history is rich, service impeccable, and experience unforgettable.

“Not a typical Mexican Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 June 2009

Not until my third night of Mexican Mattresses did I find Casona de la China Poblana, and what a relief. Location is superb, a block from Central Plaza. Guest rooms are
incredible, this place must have cost a fortune to renovate from scratch.

Guest Services is extremely cordial, friendly. On site restaurant and bar is wonderful, although we often walked a block or so to the "square". They have a Mexican expression for it, but I forgot.

They are part of a collection of small inns that markets the Puebla area. I am sure to go back next visit.
