The Best Hotels Near Alcalde, by the Record
-
The Presidential Suite has three bedrooms, two floors, and a piano, in case you feel like performing after a long day of meetings. This all-suite hotel sits in a quiet residential pocket about four kilometers from downtown Guadalajara, which means you get the colonial-style calm and marble bathrooms stocked with Hermès products while the city's chaos carries on without you. A pillow menu, a pool, and unhurried service round out the picture.
-
The rooftop pool sits above the Zona Minerva treetops, which tells you something about the priorities here. Casa Habita is a 37-room boutique hotel from Grupo Habita, the Mexican mini-chain that has a habit of making everywhere else look fussy. Rooms go spare and geometric, all marble bathrooms and Mondrian-ish sliding glass, with materials sourced from Jalisco. The cocktail bar draws locals, which is usually the sign worth trusting.
-
The voco brand's first Mexican outpost sits on Avenida Pablo Neruda in Guadalajara's financial district, which is either a happy coincidence or very good marketing. The hotel leans into a quasi-minimalist, modernist look, softened by artwork that nods to local life. Its one restaurant, Querida Luna, does the heavy lifting on atmosphere with a seventh-floor terrace and views to match, while the surrounding Neruda 2828 development handles everything else.
