Where to stay in Guadalajara

Historic Centre. The cathedral, the central squares and the Hospicio Cabañas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are here. Light rail Line 3 crosses the centre in a tunnel and links it with Zapopan and Tlaquepaque. A good fit if it is your first visit and you want to get around on foot and by light rail.

Colonia Americana. West of the centre, it is a neighbourhood of old mansions, cafés, bars and restaurants, with plenty of life in the afternoon and evening. In 2022 an international magazine named it the coolest neighbourhood in the world. A good fit if you want to go out to dinner without taking a taxi.

Chapalita and the west. This is the colonia that appears most often in the addresses of our listings. It is a residential area in the west of the city, next to the boundary with Zapopan, with hotels on the main avenues. A good fit if you are driving or are interested in Expo Guadalajara and the business district in the west. The Colonia Country Club is also nearby.

Surroundings. If you are looking for other options, in Zapopan and in San Pedro Tlaquepaque you will find more listings, linked to the centre by Line 3.
