Quinta Real Guadalajara

Some hotels are remarkable for the ease with which they represent the essence of their location; others are remarkable for the contrast between the hotel’s environment and that of the city at large. Guadalajara is one of Mexico’s biggest cities, a bustling and chaotic metropolis, but you’d be hard pressed to notice this from within the walls of the Quinta Real.

Like the other hotels in the Quinta Real group, this one avoids the familiar pitfalls of the big-city business hotel, instead opting for a colonial-influenced residential style. The hotel is tucked into a leafy residential area about four kilometers from downtown, making it a favorite for business travelers who need access to the city center, yet can afford a bit of peace and quiet.

The Quinta Real is an all-suite property, and all the suites are spacious, with classic furnishings and expansive marble bathrooms outfitted with Hermès bath products as well as plush robes and slippers. A pillow menu helps ensure quality sleep, and the service is top-notch. The slightly higher-end suites feature Jacuzzi baths, and the Presidential suite shames many private residences, with three bedrooms across its two floors and even a piano, for the musically inclined.

Hotel services include a swimming pool and passes to a nearby gym, as well as a restaurant serving upscale Mexican and international fare.

How to get there:
Quinta Real is approximately a 30 minute drive from Guadalajara International Airport and a 5 hour drive from Mexico City.
