Quinta Real Zacatecas is a very luxurious but not very expensive hotel. The hotel was built inside a bullring and it is next to the aqueduct. It has a business center, jewelery, bar and an excellent restaurant. The rooms are big, elegant and have jacuzzi.
Good location, it is in the limits of the historical center of Zacatecas and from there one can walk easily to some museums and to downtown. To go to the mine, to the cable car and to Guadalupe it is better to take a taxi.
It´s fantastic to stay in a hotel that is in itself part of the city atractions.

We stayed here one night in March 2004 and loved every minute. When I was planning our trip I saw rooms on expedia priced at about $150 I think. I now see that that would have been a bargain. I did not book a room soon enough and soon no rooms were available. Perhaps they limit the rooms on expedia because when we went there in person it did not look busy at all. We were quoted 2400 pesos (about 240 before taxes).
When we checked in the manager lowered the rate to 2100 and gave us an upgrade to a larger room with a sitting area. (Room 411) What a fantastic room. We had a view across the ring to the city above. The hotel is incredibly beautiful. We ate many meals here and the prices seemed no more expensive than other places that we ate in Guanajuato.
Please be sure to stop by to see this hotel and maybe have a meal or a drink in the very atmospheric bar. I thought the shops in the hotel had the nicest jewelry, etc. of any of the shops we saw in town. We also stayed a night at the Quinta Real in Aguascalientes when our flight back to L.A. was cancelled. That was another amazing hotel. I'd like to see the rest in their chain!

This hotel is 5 star all the way, my husband and I stayed here as we traveled around central Mexico and we loved it so much that on our way back home, we had to stop again! It is so beautiful! I will absolutely never forget this hotel. We both agreed wholeheartedly, that we will return to this hotel again someday. We loved sitting in the small cove of the bar and drinking some of the local wines, I bought some beautiful sterling and onyx jewelry that was made nearby in the gift shop. The rooms are jmake you never want to leave and the breakfast buffets are just perfect. The robe that is in the room was so comfortable that I wouldn't take it off unless I had to, my husband laughed at me until he put it on then he understood why I didn't want to take it off, pure luxery!!! Do yourself a favor and buy their robes to take home, I didn't and I have regretted it for 7 years now.

As an Airline crewmember I have stayed in this hotel on four occasions. The staff is very freindly and helpful. The hotel itself is a joy to explore and to lounge around in. The town is freindly and has many nightclubs, shops, restaurants and attractions to keep you busy. Zacatecas would make a great weekend getaway for a couple. The only drawback to this hotle is its lack of a pool but there are enough things to keep you busy to forget about it. Of the 13 mexican cities I have been to, this one was my favorite.
