About Hotel Posada del Cortez
Eight minutes from the Malecón beach, with a tour desk and a shared lounge.
The location is Malecón — and in a city shaped this narrowly along the water, location is most of the decision. Paseo Álvaro Obregón — the five-kilometre seafront promenade where La Paz takes its evening walk. Rooms here trade quiet for sunsets and street food. As a hotel it gives you the usual conveniences: a front desk that can call a taxi or a boat operator, daily housekeeping, and someone to talk to when a plan falls through. It is not officially star-rated, which is normal for apartments, guesthouses and smaller places here and says nothing about quality.

Within walking distance: the Malecón kioskthe cathedral
Distances are straight-line from the mapped position, so road journeys run longer — La Paz is built along a curved bay and the beach road doubles back on itself.
Getting around from here
You are on the promenade, so the evening walk, the taco carts, the boat-tour offices and most of the bars are outside the door. Downtown is a few blocks inland. Beaches are 25 to 30 minutes north by road; agree a return pick-up time with your driver if you go to Balandra.
How it compares
In the same area you might also price Baja Club Hotel, Casa al Mar, Hotel HBlue Malecón. If your priority is a spa, a marina and a Gary Player golf course on site, CostaBaja Resort & Spa at Km 7.5 is the comparison to make; if it is walking to dinner, stay downtown or on the Malecón.
