Jet Set LatAM · Hotel Review
Guanajuato’s colorful center is wonderful by day and gloriously noisy by night. Quinta Las Acacias offers the other side of the city: a 19th-century French-style mansion on the leafy Paseo de la Presa, where silver barons once built their homes, now a small boutique hotel with antiques, gardens and terraces.
Here’s what to know about staying at Quinta Las Acacias in Guanajuato.
The mansion
The house keeps its period character: high ceilings, ironwork, antique furniture and individually decorated rooms, some named for regions of Mexico or themed with Mexican crafts. It feels like staying in a grand private home rather than a hotel.
The terraces
Terraces look over the Paseo de la Presa and the hills, a quiet spot for breakfast or an evening glass of wine after a day in the alleys.
The location
The Paseo de la Presa is a calm residential avenue about a 15-minute walk or short taxi ride from the Jardín de la Unión. That distance is exactly the point: you sleep in peace and dip into the center when you want.
