A charming boutique hotel with a colonial Mexican feel

The Hacienda Sepulveda Hotel & Spa leads you through the history of colonial Mexico. Built in 1684, this Mexican ranch has been converted into a boutique hotel of charm maintaining its original style. In this rural area of Mexico, the wonders of nature and the remains of a rich historical past coexist at Hacienda Sepulveda. About a 30 minutes drive from the city of Leon and a 90 minute drive from Guadalajara, this hotel is a haven of peace, perfect for a honeymoon or for a rustic getaway near the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico.

An elegant and historic boutique hotel

Th builder of the Hacienda was Juan de Sepulveda, who came from Spain and chose the location because of the fertility of the soil. The ranch was bought by the Serranos family, who still owns the property and have since turned it into a country boutique hotel. The personality and soul of the home have been perfectly preserved thanks to an eclectic mix of antiques and artifacts belonging to the Serranos family. The typical architecture with interior patios and brick arches, the surrounding countryside, the cactus and horses in the fields all add to the timeless magic of this hotel. Yet comfort is not forgotten: the hotel has Internet, TV, luxury bedding, a spa and a heated pool.

The 11 rooms and suites are decorated in the original style and have either a fireplace or a stove to warm those cold winter nights. They are decorated with authentic Mexican objects collected over the years: heavy Mayan carpets, ethnic cabinets of the 18th century, crucifixes, pictures painted by an ancestor of the owner, carved candlesticks...
To all enthusiasts of Mexican history, we recommend to stay in the Master Suite Don Toribio, named after an owner of the Hacienda. The surprise of this room is that is has a secret passage leading to the roof of the mansion and was once used to protect from the revolutionaries!
The Chula Vista Suite, with its lovely terrace will delight those who wish to rest facing a splendid view over the countryside.

If the rooster does not wake you up naturally, ask for a morning call. You can then get up to the sound of a bell outside your door gently stirred by a hotel employee.
