Casa Pedro Loza was built in 1848 as the home of a wealthy local family. After a restoration that began in 2004, Casa Pedro Loza has stood out as an architectural gem of the historic center of Guadalajara. In 2006 it was awarded the city's annual award for its restoration. It maintains many of the elements of the original architectural design, thus emanating a feeling of being in another era. The proposal is based on the guest experience and the cultural value that Guadalajara brings to the world. It is located a short distance from several tourist centers, such as The Cathedral, Degollado Theater, Plaza de Armas, Museum of Journalism and Graphic Arts, Cabañas Cultural Institute, Sacred Art Museum, Government Palace And the Regional Museum. From your arrival, they will make you feel at home and you will see how they pay attention to every detail of your experience. From the decoration of its spaces to the warmth of its staff.

Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
We have stayed here twice! We ended up having our wedding here due to it's charm. We love the HISTORIC vibe and the unique character to the place makes this so attractive. Cue tall ceilings, candles, chandeliers, and stories. It is from the 1800s so don't expect top notch American grade plumbing and electricity, but expect to feel teleported back in time. We love the location to the center of GDL, their breakfast is delicious, and their security made us feel safe at night time. We will continue to come back here as a central spot in GDL and to relish in our memories! The honeymoon suite is GORGEOUS, with a little hot tub, if you can book it, do! The Wedding coordinators are the sweetest and the BEST, if you are thinking of a wedding here-top notch service!

Casa Pedro Loza has been an absolute joy to stay at. The rooms and entire facility are beautiful, and I recommend any person that visits Guadalajara to stay at this hotel. The staff are extremely kind and helpful, when I had a little emergency they immediately aided me and made sure everything was ok. If you get the chance, stay here.

Spent 4 days exploring the great city of Guadalajara. We booked a room at the Casa Pedro Loza Hotel and cannot say enough about the gradeur and utter beauty of this magnificent hotel; which is within close walking distance to the heart of the historical core. A special thank you to the staff, especially Alejandro, Efrain and Jhonatan who made our stay exceptional. Please ensure to eat in the restaurant and enjoy the fabulous cuisine and have a glass of wine in the splendour of this historical iconic hotel! Well done Pedro Loza Hotel!

My family and I stayed at Casa Pedro Loza for a few days in December. While the gentleman who served breakfast was great, and the house-keepers were great, the front desk staff put us off almost immediately. I felt as though our arrival forced him to pull his nose out of his phone to deal with us, and he wasn't happy about it. Every day thereafter, there he was, staring at his phone with barely an acknowledgement. Now, I know what will be said "it is hard to find good workers these days", and if we didn't stay elsewhere in Guadalajara this trip, maybe I'd buy that. But given we got awesome service at another small hotel, I think it is a malaise of management there. Now, the hotel building is nice, we had no issues with noise or events. The room was... well, OK. The big problem with most of these rooms are the absolutely tiny bathrooms. When your knees hit the wall when sitting on the throne, you know it's too small. On top of that, the water pressure was less than good the first couple days. We had to go to my Mom-in-Law's room to shower properly (she was in room 11, we were in room 3). They replaced the shower head upon our complaints, which helped. Another odd thing was that about four of the many smoke detectors were 'chirping', a sign their batteries were running out, yet nobody seemed to be bothered about that... again, until we complained. I think this hotel has great potential, but if you have stayed at others like it (like the Casa de la Soledad in Morelia), you will need to lower your expectations. A bit more attention, and it could be a great hotel. At the moment though, I recommend elsewhere.

Casa Pedro Loza is certainly a charming building and had been lovingly restored but it's efficacy as a hotel is somewhat lacking. My main concern is that they advertise themselves as a hotel and an events venue yet the events side of things seems to be their main interest and isn't very compatible with the hotel side of the business. The building is of the hacienda design with the events occurring in the middle which all the rooms overlook. On our final night there was a tango evening in full swing until midnight of which we could hear everything even with the TV turned up. Every other day the whole place would be taken over by a bridal photo shoot - when we arrived they had even commandeered our room! It would be nice if they could be more upfront about the disruption you're likely to incur as a guest here. Then add to that a 50-50 chance of getting hot water, a very narrow breakfast choice and it's location on a busy cross street (lots of buses go past that shake the building to its very core) and quite high tariffs. For me that tips the balance unfavourably towards me advising you to consider elsewhere before staying here.

Don't judge a hotel by what it looks like. It's very beautiful, full of amazing stained glass, paintings and antiques. But go for a drink or a meal, don't stay there. When we arrived, after a full days travelling, there was a bridal photoshoot in our room (which we had paid for!) and the unhelpful and moody receptionist dumped us outside the room to wait until they'd finished. And I think she would have left us standing there for half an hour unless I complained and asked to wait somewhere else. No word of an apology and no smiles or explanation. When we finally got to our room, the TV didn't work and there was no hot water. We had to pay upfront otherwise we would have left. I think when a different receptionist came on duty we were finally offered a glass of wine as compensation. All the rooms look over a very noisy road and our room in particular overlooked a pedestrian crossing that beeps from 8am to 10pm and gets right into your very soul. Not relaxing at all. The staff aren't very friendly and they seem to be more concerned with the photo shoots and events than with the hotel guests. You also have a very limited breakfast selection and there's no laundry service either. It doesn't quite all match the price you're paying or the amazing decor. Pop in for a drink but stay somewhere else.

Dear guest: We thank you so much for your comments, we can understand that its very hard to met everyone´s expectations, we try very hard and feel unfortunate that we did not accomplished it with you. We are a bit surprised for your inconvenience regarding the street noise as only one side of the hotel faces a slow transit area as the other side faces a pedestrian street, one of the best assets of our hotel is its location, for which we receive very good comments. We are however sorry you felt that way, and we are willing to make it up to you should you ever give us the opportunity of serving you again.

Few in Guadalajara even know about this place. It's an 1848 colonial style house a few blocks from the Guadalajara downtown cathedral which used to be occupied by the Archbishop 162 years ago. After the taxi has trouble finding the place, you first come up to a huge wooden carved door and ring the bell to get in. Once in, I felt quite special, not just because I was treated like a family member, but also because the "palace" almost felt 100% to myself. The check in is carried out on a simple desk underneath the stairway to the 11 rooms. You are offered to see each room that is available because they are each uniquely decorated. The decor is outstanding because they have preserved the essence of what that place would have been like back then. It is almost like staying in a museum. My room had colonial style furniture, very high ceilings with cross beams, cantera in the bathroom, and yet I had a plasma tv, high speed internet, and perfectly working air conditioner. A double door opened into the street with a small terrace on the second floor. The view, the place, the service, and the overall feeling was perfect. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful and prepared by one of the male employees who really had a passion for cooking and art. It was in the courtyard below, with freshly squeezed orange juice, bold and aromatic coffee, basket of sweet bread, fruit with yogurt, and eggs prepared any way you want. Oh, there are also green or red chilaquiles. The ambiance is elegant but in no way stuck up. It almost seems like there is only one employee there per shift, and yet you have everything you need at all times. You need to stay here at least once ... preferably with a companion.

We booked a last-minute trip to Guadalajara, a city about which we knew very little. Most of the better hotel options seem to be in the Zapopan neighborhood, more of a business and shopping district. There are a few options in the Centro Historico, but Casa Pedro Lopez stood out because of its small size (only eight rooms), history and potential charm. We weren't disappointed in the choice. The public areas of the hotel are well appointed and definitely charming - a beautiful combination of modern touches in a building built in 1848 as the home of the Archbishop of Guadaljara.
The rooms are mostly on the second floor around an atrium. That makes it beautiful, but it also means sound carries from the lobby and restaurant up through the rest of the hotel. We didn't find this a problem, but it could be if there was, say, a large event downstairs.
The rooms aren't big, but spacious enough to move around and store your stuff. Very high ceilings made it seem bigger. Ours had large doors that opened onto a small balcony overlooking the street. Noise from the street wasn't a problem, although you definitely hear the city come alive in the morning. The bathroom was tiny - not room for both of us at the same time. Again, not a big deal to us, but some people like more space. There is a fantastic rooftop terrace that nobody seemed to use. We took drinks up there a few times. It's an especially nice place to watch the sunset. There's a small bar and restaurant (Bons) on the first floor. Breakfast was included in the room price. It was the same thing each day, but was fresh and delicious. The location was perfect for us. A short walk to all of the important sites in the Centro Historico. Lots of restaurants of all kinds nearby. You're a short (and cheap) Uber ride from the Zona Minerva, home to many of the city's top restaurants and nightlife. We couldn't have been more impressed with the service. Friendly, casual and familiar - more like we were old friends than first-time guests. Everyone, and I mean every staff member we encountered, was friendly and helpful. You get the feeling they appreciate you being there. Finally, it was an incredible bargain. We booked a flight/hotel combo through Travelocity and couldn't believe the deal on the room. We would have paid more without much complaint.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at this historic hotel for the first time recently. We were blown away by the distinctive beauty, friendly service and impeccably clean decor.
This boutique hotel must be seen to be believed! In fact, much of our stay was spent within the hotel itself, exploring and continually discovering fascinating architectural details and exquisite antique furnishings.
Built in 1848 for the Guadalajara archdiocese, the owners told us they’d acquired the old hacienda-style building in 2002 when it was in a horrible state of disrepair. They have completely restored it and managed to retain (or possibly even enhance) the original beauty and Colonial feeling. The hotel is located 3 blocks from the center of the historic district, in a decent neighborhood, and we felt quite secure.
We were told that, by chance, the owners had the opportunity to purchase entire warehoused collection of stunning antiques and objets d'art, all of which went into dressing the Casa Pedro Loza. The resulting decor is fascinating and beautifully eclectic. The restoration and decoration were both an obvious labor of love, with outstanding attention to detail.
Our room was lovely, with a small balcony overlooking the pedestrian street, a heavenly shower, WiFi, cable TV, radio, mini-split, top-quality bedding and perfect lighting. Unlike a few other reviewers, we found (and even commented on) how quiet our room was, and how comfortable the bed.
The food and entertainment in the restaurant were excellent, with surprisingly reasonable prices. The restaurant is located in the original courtyard, and -- 2 stories above -- is protected by a giant, retractable rooftop cover, which allowed us a view of the stars while eating our dinner.
The many meeting rooms and the 3rd-story, 360° rooftop view and setting were especially impressive. We felt like we were walking back into the past when we climbed a charming, spiral, stone stairway to reach our room. There is an old-fashioned wrought-iron “cage-type” elevator, but apparently it can be temperamental so it is used at present only by staff as a service elevator. Thus, I wouldn’t recommend a second-floor room for anyone that cannot manage stairs.
Overall, our stay was very enjoyable and memorable. We will be back, and we will heartily recommend this hotel.

First time in GDL, would stay here again. Building is very charming, not a commercial hotel in the least. There are many details in their decor throughout the hotel. The courtyard where you eat breakfast is beautiful. You can sit on the rooftop at night for a secluded get away. Our room was comfortable and nicely decorated. Beds and pillows a little uncomfortable...but not a huge deal. Shower was great. Noise in room is loud in mornings due to outside street traffic and this being an older building, but again not a big deal. Breakfast is amazing! Plenty to choose from and everything is very fresh. Location is ideal, can walk to local plazas and eateries. The staff is very kind, offers tips of where to visit, and helps make one's stay comfortable. Great place for a couples get away!

Assuming you are arriving by taxi,yes it is safe. We did walk in the neighborhood late one evening and felt safe but I would not want to be rolling luggage although I saw people who were.
