The 13 Best hotels in La Paz Baja California Sur Mexico
Planning a trip to La Paz, Mexico? This post on the best 13 hotels in La Paz will help you find the best property for an amazing stay in the beautiful capital city of Baca California Sur.
La Paz is a cute city located on the Southeast coast of the Mexican State of Baja California Sur, flanked by spectacular beaches and roughed mountains of the Sierra de la Laguna.
The city offers incredible restaurants, coffee shops, and a colorful historical center and makes a great base to explore its surrounding natural wonders.
With a great variety of cute hotels, old haciendas and modern apartments deciding where to stay can be overwhelming.
If this is your case, worry not. In this guide to the best hotels in La Paz, I will help you find the perfect place for a memorable stay.
Although La Paz is an extensive town, the city center, is tiny and walkable with a mix of good international vibes and a colonial feel.
La Paz international airport receives flights from all the major Mexican cities and you can rent a car from there and start your adventure around Baja.
However, you should definitely plan a few days in La Paz as the city has so much to offer from great food to incredible beaches and boat tours.
Walk around La Paz and enjoy the colorful murals, or take a stroll along the Malecon at sunset for the jaw-dropping sky, and of course, try the delicious local restaurants and markets.
La Paz is located on the Sea of Cortez, so-called the world’s aquarium, so rich with marine life. Not to mention Espiritu Santo Island—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—is just a boat ride away, and the stunning landscape around it is a world apart.
Even though La Paz is overlooked by many tourists which usually prefer a resort vacation in Cabo San Lucas, the city has some of the best beaches in Baja California Sur, and besides its own, lots of other popular attractions of the state are just a day trip from it.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and some of these lodgings have patios for lovely evenings.
There’s a wonderful garden with a swimming pool on the property, making the setting very romantic. And since Casabuena is intended to be a family-friendly hotel, you will find a shared kitchen, lounge, and a children’s playground here as well.
