El Tapatío's colonial-style architecture, country-style design, expansive gardens, and spectacular panoramic views of the city create an unparalleled atmosphere. Its location on top of a hill midway between Tlaquepaque and the airport makes it a kind of intimate retreat within the city. With 123 guest rooms and a swimming pool, pool bar, gym, tennis court, children’s playground, and impressive nightclub offering the best views of Guadalajara’s skyline, El Tapatío is a great option for large families, groups, events, weddings, and conventions.

A 10-minute walk from Tlaquepaque's center, this intimate B&B is near lots of shopping.
