3-star hotels in Puebla
A shortlist of 3-star hotels in Puebla, from the historic centre to the Angelópolis and Finsa business corridors. It is for travellers who want a simple base for the city's colonial streets, its food and its museums without paying for a grand courtyard mansion.
Staying in Puebla
Puebla rewards slow walking. The Centro Histórico holds the courtyard mansions that justify the trip, all within five blocks of the Zócalo. Angelópolis only makes sense for work or if you prefer malls and parking, and Cholula is the relaxed alternative, with the pyramid and student bars, half an hour from the Centro. The city sits at 2,135 metres, so nights cool off year-round, and the volcanoes show best early, before the haze climbs.
These hotels are spread across the city. Several sit in the Centro Histórico itself — on Calle 10 Norte, Calle 4 Poniente, Avenida 2 Oriente, Calle 3 Oriente and 4 Norte — so the Zócalo and the food markets are on foot. Others line Boulevard Hermanos Serdán and the Finsa and Angelópolis corridors, where business travellers and drivers are better served. Couples and short-break visitors do best in the centre; families will find pools and family rooms at the larger properties; business guests have fitness centres and business centres on the northern and southern approaches.
