Hacienda Soltepec

Hacienda Soltepec is a historic hacienda-turned-luxury-hotel set at the base of the La Malinche volcano just outside Huamantla, one of Tlaxcala's Pueblos Magicos, known for its annual Feria de Huamantla and painted-sawdust carpets. The main building preserves the character of a colonial-era hacienda, with thick stone walls, wide arcaded corridors, and expansive grounds that once served the estate's agricultural operations, now converted into gardens, a golf course, and recreational facilities. Rooms span Standard, Junior Suite, Master Suite, and Themed Suite categories, several arranged around courtyards with direct views of La Malinche's slopes. The hacienda's grounds include a 9-hole golf course, tennis court, and indoor pool, alongside a steam bath for relaxation after a round of golf or a hike on the volcano's lower trails. One of the property's signature draws is its hot air balloon rides, which lift off from the hacienda grounds at sunrise for panoramic views over the Tlaxcala countryside and La Malinche. The on-site restaurant serves Mexican cuisine with produce and traditions rooted in the surrounding countryside. The overall character is that of a countryside luxury retreat rather than a city hotel, suited to travelers seeking a slower-paced, activity-rich stay away from Tlaxcala city.
