The Space:
Opened in March '23, HOLT has transformed this 120-year-old family home into a chic boutique hotel dedicated to the memory of Margarita Figueroa, the grandmother of the house.

Two types of rooms are available – three with a king bed and three with two queen beds – all with en suite bathrooms. Our rooms present with locally-made custom furniture, sophisticated finishes, and 14-foot ceilings. Air conditioning & heating, a 50" SmartTV, and a dedicated workspace round out the offerings of each room. This listing is for rooms with a king bed.

Guests will appreciate the two open spaces, and the primary courtyard showcases an oversized outdoor dining table to seat all of HOLT's guests. The eight-person hot tub jacuzzi in the rear courtyard invites you to take a dip.

Guests are treated to daily complimentary breakfast prepared in a traditional Oaxacan style. In addition to the guest rooms, the front of the hotel features a shared living and dining room, ideal for taking breakfast and mingling with other well-traveled visitors.

The internet connection is unmatched in Oaxaca. The hotel boasts a mesh Wi-Fi network distributed by the best devices in the world, Ubiquiti UniFi. Running at 500mb/s download speed with 99.9% uptime, our property possesses top internet access for all your devices, no matter your work.

Located in the heart of the Oaxaca de Juarez, HOLT's Hotel De Mi Independencia is just a short stroll away from Zócalo, making it a perfect location for visitors looking to immerse themselves in the extensive history and cultural offerings of Oaxaca de Juárez.

Ioana Holt, co-founder, COO, and Head of Design for HOLT, served as the sole designer and general contractor for Hotel De Mi Independencia. In her artist statement, Mrs. Holt describes her inspiration for her design to bring the property to life as "the fashionista grandma, never caught with a hair out of place. She's so chic and cool, she's bold, she's lived enough to learn to embrace all she loves, and all those things fit together because of her." She continues, "Each corner is a postcard to a decade of her life... There is joy and playfulness and comfort in each room. There is also awe and excitement."

Globally, HOLT is known for its magical designs in unique residential and hotel spaces enhanced with around-the-clock customer service and concierge services to meet their international guests' needs.
