Only in Guadalajara could you find a hotel so richly infused with native colour. It was here that tequila and mariachi music originated, and the city is also home to Mexico's finest craftsmen. Their handiwork is evident throughout the Hotel Quinta Real Guadalajara, a small and refined boutique hotel characterised by elegant period furniture, stuccoed ceilings and impressive works of art. With tuxedoed waiters sweeping toward your table to serve you breakfast by the glorious pool, you will be hard pushed to find a more authentic and welcoming place to stay in this most Mexican of cities.
