Since our founding in 1955 and inauguration in 1963, we have been an icon of tradition and elegance in the Bajío region. For over six decades, our facilities have hosted Mexican legends such as José Alfredo Jiménez and José José. Today, that rich history blends seamlessly with modern amenities to offer you an unforgettable stay.
Just steps from your stay
Begin your tour at the León Cathedral Basilica: This 18th-century architectural gem is renowned for its neoclassical façade and sacred art. Located just steps from the hotel, it's the perfect place to admire its beautiful French stained-glass windows and grand marble altar.
Be amazed by the majesty of the Expiatory Temple: an imposing neo-Gothic masterpiece that took almost a century to complete. Don't miss the spectacle of light from its Catalan stained-glass windows or the tour through its mysterious underground crypts.
Walk along the beautiful avenue to the Arco de la Calzada: The ultimate symbol and pride of León, built in 1893. Crowned by a life-size bronze lion, it marks the beginning of one of the city's most beautiful and traditional tree-lined avenues.
Immerse yourself in art by visiting the Guanajuato Cultural Forum: A modern 9-hectare cultural complex that houses the Guanajuato Museum of Art and History (MAHG) and the Bicentennial Theater, surrounded by beautiful gardens.
Take advantage of your trip to go shopping in the Zona Piel (Leather Zone): Mexico's largest leather goods shopping center with thousands of stores. It's the perfect place to buy high-quality shoes, jackets, and handcrafted bags.
