Tree Puebla
Historic colonial luxury meets Asian wellness. Opulent but not stuffy — think Talavera-tiled corridors, Poblano artisan craft everywhere, and spa therapists trained in traditional Thai techniques.

Why It Matters
Holds a Michelin Key (2024 and 2025), ranked #1 hotel in Puebla on TripAdvisor, and named one of Travel + Leisure readers' 25 favorite resorts in Mexico (2025). Runs entirely on renewable solar energy. The building itself — a 19th-century colonial structure — is a heritage piece, and the Trinitarias Garden event space sits next to actual convent ruins, accessed via a tunnel from the hotel.
A 19th-century colonial building turned five-star hotel, sitting right on the edge of Puebla's UNESCO-listed historic center. This is Banyan Tree's only city hotel in Mexico — 78 rooms dressed in Talavera tiles, hand-carved furnishings, and locally-sourced artwork. But the crown jewel is the fifth-floor rooftop, where a pool and Thai restaurant command 360-degree views of the city skyline and five surrounding volcanoes on a clear day. The entire property runs on 100% solar energy. It was formerly the Azul Talavera Hotel before Banyan Tree took it over.
