Queretaro Hotels – Luxury Properties

1. La casa de la Marchesa

Queretaro Hotels Casa de la marchesa

This iconic hotel offers a luxury experience in the middle of the historical center close to shops restaurants and places to visit. The hotel was the house of a noblewoman with a very interesting story behind it.

The building has been redone and refurbished with elegant Balinese furniture when it was turned into a hotel.

Also, the patio on the ground floor is a great setting for the hotel restaurant, very popular among locals, especially for breakfast. If you are not going to stay there I would suggest you should go for a visit and admire the stunning architecture.

2. Hotel Casona De La Republica

Located in the heart of the historical center the Hotel Casona de La Republica is a Boutique Design Hotel with a unique concept that merges modern comfort and the original colonial style.

In fact, the original architecture of the house has been kept as it was built at the end of the 17th century.

The new additions include modern comfortable amenities and a combination of different styles and art pieces of the Mexican tradition. The result is warmth and elegance combined with excellent service and a convenient location.

3. Doña Urraca Hotel & Spa

Spectacular hotel located in the heart of Queretaro.

The rooms, located around a manicured garden and a large pool, are exquisitely decorated with modern art and bright colors nicely contrasting with the white walls and linen.

On the contrary, the rest of the building and public area has a warm colonial feel with interesting art pieces strategically placed to create a homey feel.

4. Hotel Criol

Spectacular ultra-modern property, very tastefully decorated and looked after in every detail. The beautiful internal garden is one of the highlights besides the spacious and elegant artsy room.

In fact, its comfortable chairs are sparsely distributed around the garden and the sun beds around the pool invite you to sit, relax and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere

5. Casa Brunella Boutique Hotel

Among all the Queretaro hotels, this is one of my favorite hotels, it was previously called Nena hotel and they had a sister property in San Miguel de Allende, but I can see they had probably sold it or separated.

Even if they changed the name they didn’t change the charm of this property. Still very stylishly decorated with dark colors and vintage pieces. Definitely, the place where I would be happy to splurge.

Among the amazing things to do in Queretaro, browsing through all the museums and amazing historical buildings was my favorite, but the highlight of my visit was the 4 days trip through the Sierra Gorda of Queretaro.

Really an off-the-beaten-path route that you shouldn’t miss if you are in the area. While in the city though, you should treat yourself to trying the delicious food in the various Queretaro Restaurants choice, and to staying in a lovely hotel.
