A place to stay in Guanajuato

Guests consistently single out cleanliness, staff, and the facilities as the property's strongest points.
Who this stay suits
A well-equipped five-star hotel with two pools, a spa, and spacious suites in Guanajuato's distinctive mountain setting.
Best for
- Couples wanting a suite with mountain views
- Travellers who prioritise spa and pool facilities
- Visitors needing free, on-site parking
- Families requiring accessible, full-service amenities
Less suited to
- Budget-conscious travellers
- Those who prefer apartment-style self-catering
Two pools and a sun deck
The hotel runs two swimming pools alongside a sun deck, terrace, and garden. It's an uncommon amount of outdoor pool space for Guanajuato, a city better known for narrow alleys than sprawling grounds.
Suites with courtyard and mountain views
All rooms look into the inner courtyard or, in the Superior Suite category, out to the pool and mountains beyond. The Superior Suite adds a private balcony, terrace, and in-room spa tub — 45 square metres in total.
Spa, fitness, and wellness
The spa and wellness center pairs with a dedicated fitness center. Guests have access to a hot tub as well. It's a practical setup for longer stays or anyone who wants to maintain a routine while travelling.
On-site dining and bar
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, with breakfast available and room service running to the suites. Having both on property matters in Guanajuato, where the terrain makes getting around after dark more of an effort.
