4- and 5-star hotels in La Paz
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in La Paz, from a design hotel on the malecón to beach resorts out along the Pichilingue road. It is for travellers deciding where to sleep before they book, whether they want the waterfront, the historic centre or a base with a car.
Staying in La Paz
La Paz rewards travellers who slow down. The malecón is the obvious place to stay, with the sunset over the water and everything within walking distance, though it is the noisiest at weekends. Three streets back, the historic centre hides small hotels and the lowest rates, while CostaBaja only makes sense with a car and a bigger budget.
The hotels here follow that geography. Baja Club Hotel La Paz Baja California Sur a Member of Design Hotels, Perla La Paz Tapestry Collection by Hilton and Seven Crown La Paz Malecon sit on or near Paseo Alvaro Obregon, the waterfront spine, with Seven Crown La Paz Centro Historico just off Avenida Revolucion De 1910 in the old quarter. Araiza Palmira Hotel y Centro de Convenciones stands on Blvd Alberto Alvarado Aramburo. Hotel Indigo La Paz Puerta Cortes by IHG and Courtyard by Marriott La Paz Baja California Sur sit out on Carretera A Pichilingue at Km 7.5, and Orchid House Baja & Beach Club on Carretera Escénica Km 5. Couples come for the water and the sunsets, families for pools and family rooms, business travellers for business centres and meeting rooms.

Plan your stay
Getting there and around
A car helps a lot for Balandra and El Tecolote, some 25 km north: a taxi means paying the round trip and the wait. Balandra caps visitors by timed access, so go early. Whale sharks and Espíritu Santo are run only by authorised operators with regulated numbers, leaving from the malecón in the morning. If you want to skip the car entirely, staying on the malecón keeps everything on foot; CostaBaja only makes sense with a car and a bigger budget.
When to go
Go early for Balandra, since timed access caps visitors, and book whale shark and Espíritu Santo trips with authorised operators, which leave from the malecón in the morning. Weekends are the noisiest time on the malecón, so light sleepers may prefer the historic centre or the Pichilingue road.
Questions, answered
Which area should I book in La Paz?
