B+B

Staying downtown changes everything

The difference between a good getaway and one you remember isn't just about where you go, but from where you go. Being in the heart of the historic center allows you to walk to the major must-sees, reduce travel time, and make the most of every hour of your weekend.

At Las Casas B+B, you can combine cultural exploration during the day with poolside relaxation in the afternoon, a treatment at The White Spa before dinner, and a leisurely dinner at HOUSE Restaurant once the city's pace has slowed.
That's the plan.

Palace of Cortes

Exit the hotel, cross the street, and you are in front of one of the most important buildings in the colonial history of America: the Palace of Cortés, the oldest preserved civil structure from the colonial era on the continent. Almost 500 years looking at the same square.

Originally built as Hernán Cortés's fortified residence, it now houses the Cuauhnahuac Regional Museum with a notable archaeological collection and, as its centerpiece, Diego Rivera's imposing mural "History of Morelos, Conquest and Revolution.".

📍 Across from Las Casas B+B · Open Tuesday–Sunday, 9am–6pm · Entrance $60 pesos

Ideal for the morning of the first day. Return to the hotel to eat at HOUSE Restaurant.

The Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary

Founded in 1525 by the first twelve Franciscan friars who arrived in Mexico, the Cuernavaca Cathedral is one of the oldest in the country and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Its scale is impressive from the street; its interior, with the mural discovered in 1957 that narrates the martyrdom of Felipe de Jesús and 23 missionaries in Japan, surprises those who don't expect it.

Don't leave without visiting the Museum of Sacred Art, inaugurated in 2018 within the same complex.

📍 2 blocks from Las Casas B+B · Free admission

Borda Gardens

Chosen as Emperor Maximilian and Charlotte's summer residence in 1865, Jardín Borda is one of the most photogenic spots in the city.

Lush vegetation, historical fountains, a lake with small boats, and an active cultural agenda with concerts, theater, and exhibitions.

2 blocks from Las Casas B+B · Entrance $30 pesos

Perfect for a quiet afternoon before heading back to the hotel pool.

Robert Brady Museum

"If you only visit one museum in Cuernavaca, make it this one."

The Robert Brady Museum occupies the Tower House and was home to American collector Robert Brady, who amassed an extraordinary collection of Mexican art and pieces from around the world.

Includes original works by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Rufino Tamayo, as well as African, Asian, and Latin American art.

The fourteen rooms remain almost exactly as Brady left them when he died in 1986.
