Villa Ganz, MEXICO

Description: Villa Ganz

Imagine strolling along sophisticated avenues with gorgeous colonial architecture of Mexico's City of Roses and then coming home to a prime example of it. The informally elegant Villa Ganz, just ten minutes from Guadalajara's historic heart has been lovingly converted into this 20th Century mansion in an intimate inn, combining the best traditional features with life-simplifying amenities. The hospitable owner made each of the ten spacious and beautifully detailed guest accommodations as unique and interesting as the people who stay here.

Check out the locally collected antiques and fine craftsmanship throughout and you'll know why this part of Mexico is an interior decorator's mecca. With world-class shopping, dining and cultural events at your doorstep in this exciting, high-energy city, the villa's earthy tones, comfy common areas and fragrant, statue-studded garden are rejuvenating counterpoints.

A set-you-up-for-the-day breakfast is included, served in your room or the courtyard. And well stocked bars on both floors ensure you'll never get thirsty. Restaurants of note are nearby, but if you're too relaxed to bother venturing out for lunch or dinner, the host will happily arrange for them to deliver, or the kitchen to whip you up whatever you're in the mood for.

Situated in the heart of the business and financial district the hotel is two blocks from Av. Chapultepec with its out door cafes, galeries, book shops. Within easy distance of the city's three most popular shopping malls: Plaza del sol, Gran Plaza and Centro Magno (within walking distance of the U.S. Consulate) Eight minutes from: Guadalajara Expo, World Trade Center and Historic downtown.
