Hotel in Old Puerto Vallarta charms with tropical rooms
Emperador Hotel & Suites enjoys a base in the heart of Old Puerto Vallarta just a few minutes away from downtown and the airport. And with Playa Los Muertos directly outside one of its towers, the hotel offers instant appeal for travelers who want to stroll to El Malecon. Inside, rooms, suites and some spaces have kitchenettes. A coastal contemporary restaurant send visitors into paradise.
Highlights
  • Two towers offering a choice of room layouts
  • AmapaSunset Restaurant & Beach Club for Vallartense fare
  • Some rooms with kitchenettes and beach views
  • Free Wi-Fi
Rooms
For a modestly sized hotel, Emperador Hotel & Suites presents ample choices. The property caters to short-term or extended-stay visitors with clean, Mexican-inspired spaces stocked with various necessities. Standard hotel rooms, which come with a shower, TV, telephone and one king bed or two twin beds, accommodate two people. Larger groups find comfort in suites and junior suites. The larger spaces enable guests to save on dining expenses by cooking in the kitchenettes. Mexican Colonial-style dining tables and views of the Romantic Zone add to the coastal bliss.
Features
Emperador Hotel & Suites guests revel in the ocean setting -- especially from its lounge chairs. Palm trees, cabana-style patio tables and a brick patio add to the atmosphere. For a change of scenery, patrons can also take advantage of the private beach or palapas (open-sided, thatched-roof huts).
Dining
The romance of Banderas Bay plays out every night at Amapas Sunset Restaurant & Beach Club. The all-day restaurant sets up front-row tables on the sizzling Playa Los Muertos, where the ocean views are as delicious as the frosty Michelada brews.

Great Beach Location

The Emperador Hotel and Suites has in my opinion the best location on Los Muertos Beach. The ideal location makes up for a few of its shortcomings. Upon 3:00 check-in our room was not clean and ready. We decided to have a drink at the restaurant/bar downstairs while we waited, only to find the beach-level establishment was vacant and for rent. The rooms are spacious and have great balconies to watch nightly breathtaking sunsets on Banderas Bay. Kitchenettes and refrigerators are must-haves. Linens are of poor quality; lumpy pillows, rough sheets and bedspread and curtains though laundered showed stains. The beds are hard. The Emperador is dated and shows wear, but for the price, I have yet to find a better value for a beachfront location. Excellent restaurants, bars, coffee cafes, theater and more are all at your doorstep.

very family friendly

My wife and I were very happy with our hotel, we really didn't know what to expect as we had never stayed at the Emperador before. The staff was great and very friendly,are room was clean and we were just steps from the beach a beautiful beach! We had a great time. We were close to alot of great shopping areas and resturants with great food. This hotel is in a great location with great scenic views, we will surely stay at this hotel again.

Great location for the money.

I returned to the Emperador to enjoy the great location. A nice Mexican place and a great bargain. Don't miss La Palapa restaurant around the corner or the wonderful lady one block down selling fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning. The location in the Romantica Zone is the quaint cobbelstoned.

The location is excellent and

The location is excellent and that is the most important thing to remember. The elevator kept breaking down during our stay and the walk up and down the stairs can be tiresome. One of the Front Desk Agents had total attitude, but many of the others were very nice. The housekeeping staff are great. You know from the get-go this is not a five-star resort, but you simply cannot beat the price for such an excellent location.

Hotel stay

This was a great budget hotel option, the beds were not very nice and the rooms on the street side are very noisy, but the A/C can block the noise. The location is excellent, right on the beach and the staff were wonderful. [...] were extremely helpful with everything and treated me like I was a guest in their home. The maids were very clean and kind as well. Its a shame the whirlpools are out of order and the pool is not very nice.
