The Posada de la Mision hotel is nestled in the city of Taxco in the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Known throughout the world for its high quality silver, Taxco Mexico is a quaint village that still maintains a colonial feel. There are even restrictions on the type of new construction that can be built in the area, in an effort to keep the white and stucco buildings in the majority. While many tourists travel Mexico and make a day trip to Taxco, Taxco Mexico can also be an excellent place to make a longer stay.
The Posada de la Mision offers an array of amenities, including a swimming pool, child services, an onsite restaurant and room service. The restaurant fare is decent and offers a nice place to eat before hitting the silver shops. However, the city of Taxco does have some nicer restaurants downtown that offer better value and more selection.
Along with the shopping center near the hotel, the Posada de la Mision also has a silver shop on site. With over 900 shops specializing in silver, Taxco Mexico is a great place to pick up a souvenir. Many Mexico hotels in Taxco have both on and off site shopping options.
