Casa Dabne

Five blocks from San Cristóbal de Las Casas's zócalo, Casa Dabne occupies a position on Avenida Josefa Ortiz de Domínguez in the Chiapas highland city that sits at 2,200 metres — cool enough for wool blankets year-round and a climate entirely unlike coastal Mexico.

Rated 9.7 from 21 reviews, the property benefits from a street connecting the Guadalupe hill neighbourhood to the central market district. Tzotzil Maya vendors from surrounding villages trade daily at the nearby Mercado José Castillo Tielemans, one of the region's most visited indigenous markets.

Na Bolom, the preserved 1891 mansion housing a significant Maya archaeological archive, sits within walking distance — as does the Sunday artisan market on the main square, where amber and textile traders set up before dawn.
