Casa Carmen

Below the cobblestone slope of Miguel Hidalgo street, a five-minute walk from Santo Domingo church, Casa Carmen occupies a colonial-style house built around an inner courtyard with an outdoor fireplace and sun deck. Rooms open onto shared terraces rather than corridors, suited to travellers wanting a quiet, non-hotel base in Barrio de Santo Domingo.

A shared kitchen and picnic area let guests cook with market produce instead of relying on restaurant hours. Baggage storage and private check-in accommodate the early buses to Palenque and the highland villages nearby.
