A reliable international brand hotel steps from Guadalajara's main historic attractions, offering consistent amenities including free breakfast, a rooftop pool, and modern rooms. The location on busy Maestranza Street provides easy access to the historic center's best sights.
Hampton Inn Guadalajara Centro Histórico stands on Maestranza Street in the dense historical core of Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city. Guadalajara Cathedral is roughly 200 meters away, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Hospicio Cabañas is 500 meters to the northeast, and Mercado San Juan de Dios — one of Latin America's largest covered markets — is 600 meters east. The Tlaquepaque craft district lies 8 km south, accessible by taxi or the city's light rail (Tren Ligero), with the Juárez station a 10-minute walk from the hotel.
The building retains elements of an early 20th-century commercial facade, with stone detailing on the street-facing exterior integrated with a comprehensively modernized interior. The renovation aligns the property with Hilton's Hampton Inn standards while preserving architectural features that suit the historic neighborhood context.
Room inventory runs from standard king and double configurations to corner rooms with city views. All rooms follow the Hampton formula: blackout curtains, large work desks, adjustable air conditioning, and consistent quality linens. The property caters strongly to both business travelers visiting Guadalajara's government and financial district (concentrated in the historic center) and leisure visitors using the location as a base for exploring the colonial city on foot.
The included hot breakfast buffet — standard across all Hampton Inn properties — is served each morning and covers eggs, cereals, fresh fruit, pastries, and hot drinks. There is no full-service restaurant, but Maestranza and the surrounding streets have a high density of cafés and fondas serving regional Jalisco specialties within two blocks.
A rooftop pool offers city views and is one of the few outdoor pool options among centro hotels. A fitness room and business center are available around the clock. The front desk provides concierge assistance for tour bookings, transport to Tlaquepaque, and organizing day excursions to Tequila town (60 km northwest by road).

Frequently asked questions
Is the rooftop pool available year-round?
The rooftop pool is typically open year-round given Guadalajara's mild climate, though it may close for maintenance in January and February. Confirm with the hotel at time of booking if this is a priority.
Is parking available near the hotel?
The hotel does not have its own parking garage, but several public car parks operate within two blocks of Maestranza Street. The front desk can direct guests to the nearest options. Most visitors to the historic center arrive by taxi or rideshare rather than private car.
How close is the hotel to Tlaquepaque?
Tlaquepaque, the artisan craft and gallery district, is approximately 8 km south of the hotel. Taxis take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; the Tren Ligero light rail runs to stations within about 2 km of Tlaquepaque's center.
Does the hotel have meeting or event facilities?
Yes, a business center and meeting room are available. The property is a common choice for small corporate meetings given its central location, though larger conferences typically use the Expo Guadalajara facilities in the south of the city.
