Architecturally stunning, the Quinta Real and its surroundings are a must-see in Zacatecas. Where else can you stay in a hotel that incorporates the oldest bull ring in North America and lies alongside a 16th century aqueduct?

The interior of the hotel is equally impressive. Hallways circle the bull ring, boldly decorated and filled with a profusion of potted plants and shrubs.

You'll find elegant boutiques and grand function rooms around the perimeter, with the prime spot reserved for the sophisticated restaurant. The Quinta Real group are renowned for their high class cuisine with an emphasis on Mexican ingredients.

Our favorite hideout is the cellar bar, formerly the bull corrals. It's one of the most atmospheric hotel bars we know.

The spacious suites are tastefully furnished and include the most modern facilities from satellite TV, CD and video players to Jacuzzi baths.

Zacatecas' silver mines brought riches to the city and left behind fine mansions and magnificent churches. In a city of such splendor, the Quinta Real is suitably classy and will please the most discerning traveler.
