Probably the first hotel in Guanajuato, and certainly the best known, the Posada Santa Fe is the place to stay in town.

Not only does it house a venerable collection of the works of local artist and historian Manuel Leal, it also has the most desirable tables for soaking up the local atmosphere - right on the lively Jardin de la Union.Enter the magnificent lobby and you could be in one of the finest hotels in Mexico. Lofty beamed ceilings, delicate chandeliers and antique chairs all fade into insignificance alongside the giant paintings dominating the walls.

The off-lobby restaurant has the same setting, as does the lounge, with antique chairs and couches perfect for pre-dinner cocktails. Guest rooms are approached up a winding staircase, with a colorful tile surround. The rooms themselves vary from the high ceiling suites at the front of the hotel to simpler decor at the back.

All have a certain charm, a slightly faded grandeur, yet updated with modern facilities. The hotel has been owned and managed by the same family for several generations, and although there are exciting plans for future improvements, the emphasis is on retaining the historic and the traditional.

Meals served in the restaurants are as good as the setting, and the location is the best in town. Guanajuato itself is not short of attractions and only problem could be trying to drag away.

Amenities:
Business center, free parking, high-speed internet, restaurant, room service, and wireless internet.

Dining

La Terraza Restaurant and El Truco Dining Room
At breakfast there may be a cook at work under the canopies outside, making tortillas and cooking Gordidas de Maiz and other specialities on traditional equipment. In the evenings, try Pozole - a dish native to nearby Guadala jara that is almost a soup, made from pork, chicken and maize, seasoned with oregano, onions and chilies. Of course, there are plainer options for those wary of spicy food, from steaks to fish al gusto.
La Terraza Restaurant and El Truco Dining Room
It can't be denied that the outdoor tables at the Posada Santa Fe are the place to be for an evening in Guanajuato. El Jardin de la Union is a gathering point for young and old alike, and the music drifting from its bandstand varied on the visit from a small orchestra playing there to the sounds of an impromptu disco. Hence find the most popular tables to be those directly on the square, on all except very wet days. This does little justice to be beauty of the Indoor restaurant, where heavy wooden beams and ornate chandellers are perfectly in keeping with the Historical paintings Manual Leal that dominate the walls.
Consulado Bar
The Convivial bar is a nice place to end the evening. It also functions as an internet cafe, with computers having high speed connection available for guests use.

A wonderful Vacations

We had a wonderful vacations. My wife and I stayed for a week here. The location is excellent, you are in the middle of the downtown and all the attractions are in a walking distance. My only complain was that the business next door is a bar and in some of the rooms it gets a little bit noisy but the staff was so kind to give us and other room. I highly recommend this place.

Review of Hotel Posada Santa Fe 3/22

Hotel was in the perfect central plaza location where tourists and locals alike spend many hours per day socializing and making connections and enjoying the music by Mariachis and other vendors with all their wares to sell touristas. Hotel was beautiful in the entry and for the age having been built in 1862, it was well maintained, although you need to be ready for the hike upstairs to your room with no elevators, and the beds were rock hard, and the air flow during the stay was at a minimum because there are just fans and no air conditioning. Room service was very good as our room was well maintained while bath toiletries were always kept up. With limited access by car, parking is almost impossible while your driver was driving around the blocks of narrow streets, you had little time to say a long good-by to new friends and find the right pesos to give out for good service. I would go back and remember this is Mexico, not to expect what you do in the USA. They do not know what a foam topper is to soften a hard mattress at all. The bell boys know the right tour contacts to arrange whatever tours you are interested in. Ask for [...], an elder 60's gentleman who was born in Guanajuato and is highly knowledgeable and goes beyond the average city tours with details of his wonderful city and all that it offers, including the very interesting colorful history from the beginning to the present. I will return to this city in Mexico as I have made new friends who want me to return as I do myself.The food and choices of restaurants were also quite vast. The museums and the culture is everywhere while there seems to be a kind of refinement in this college city that has a drawing to its charm. Unlike the ghost towns where gold had been discovered in California during the 1849 era, today, most are almost abandoned while Guanajuato holds the distinction of growing and expanding its population from starting as a grain processing town until gold and silver were discovered, haciendas and land barons ruled with slavery flourishing and cruel treatment of the Africans who were brought into the region and the peon (poor Mexicans)until they revolted. Beneto Juarez had come up through the ranks of the common people and was very beloved while the Spanish wanted to conquer and plunder during the years that political leaders emerged with their own ideas of what was best for the area. Today, Guanajuato looks much the same as it did 600 years ago with expanding population and prosperity for those with ambition. These people who are native all love their city and its rich history.

The streets and tunnels surround the city and they are narrow because they were formerly used as underground sewers and water flow was very useful while later years mules and donkeys used the underground tunnels and narrow cobblestone streets. New tunnels today have been built and the old streets are still narrow and two way and one way traffic are for the cars and trucks to transport from one end of the city to the other end, more quickly. Houses and living areas along with rest rooms were built over the tunnels and the city has houses stacked up one on top of the other with bright color painted walls that make a photograph of the city a Kodak moment wherever you turn to look. The city is composed of a rock mountain and every structure is carved out of the mountains stacked as are the churches that are chiseled out of the mountains and stand majestically into the sky with their spires and bell towers that are well used today when you hear a clang and a thunderous gong and begin to ask what are they celebrating now?

Is six hours too much to ask??

The location of this hotel could not have been better. We were at the edge of the main plaza, and witnessed all the fun fiesta that occurs in Guanajuato each time we exited our hotel. The location of this hotel could not have been worse. Our charming (looking) room was on the street side of the hotel, with all the noise that Guanajuato has to offer. Raucous street noise until 2 or 3 am, then staff voices as they arrive and start their duties in the lobby at 7 am--we did not get a good night's sleep in the 3 nights we spent there. Many other rooms in this hotel may not have the same noise problem. The quieter rooms, however, may not have a window, and certainly not a view. Front desk staff was wonderful, helpful, with great English language skills. Dining room service was slow and not so friendly. Eat somewhere else for better restaurant value, too. I wish we had only spent one night here, but bill was pre-paid for 3 nights. I'll get a good night's sleep when we get back home!

Le Parisien Restaurant. nice ambiance, great caring service from the owner, from Montpelier, France! On the same side of the street as the University's big steps. As they say in France, "qualite-prix," (good value)! AND, right across from the steps is the wonderful El Tapatio: many appetizing dishes, great value and lively family atmosphere.

Authentic Mexican Experience

Fantastic location...in the heart of Historical Centro. Everything within a stone's throw. Friendly, helpful staff and very service oriented. A bid dated decor, but that's part of its charm. Rooms facing the street can be noisy at night.
