Positive impact
El Callejón is deeply committed to sustainability and community. Its construction preserved trees and neighborhood character, while rainwater catchment and gray water systems reduce environmental impact. Organic waste becomes compost, linens are donated, and used oil supports glassmaking. The hotel works with artisan communities across Oaxaca and beyond, showcasing their craft in décor and amenities. Even details such as woven garbage baskets are part of a social reintegration project, reflecting the hotel’s holistic approach to positive impact. Guests are invited to respect the garden’s biodiversity, which includes medicinal plants, pollinators, and native wildlife.
