Property Details

Walk into Solar de Las Animas and enter a world of palm trees, soaring wood beam ceilings, columns, intricate gold embellishments, and bubbling fountains. These thoughtful details enhance an experience of Mexican heritage at this colonial style property.

All room options have marble floors and beds with Egyptian cotton sheets. The Deluxe Double Room is decorated with Mexican art of viceroyalty and features large windows. The Master King Room is an elegant space with impressive views of the Sierra Madre Occidental and the town square.

Follow the scent of fresh Mexican cuisine to La Antigua Casona Restaurant which is beautifully decorated with archways and metal ironwork gates. The Terrace Sky Bar is an outdoor space for dining from the a la carte menu while watching the sun dip behind the green mountains and the pretty 18th-century church of Santiago Apostol.

A visit to the Sky Bar gives guests a view of the volcano that sits at the foot of town. Accompany this view with sips from a variety of tequilas. Guests can also enjoy a private tequila tasting in the Solar de Las Animas cellar, the largest in all of Latin America. Immerse yourself in Mexican style at the Chucho Reyes bar, where the walls are decorated with contemporary paintings by a local artist.

Relax with a massage or beauty treatment in the spa, or lounge by the blue mosaic courtyard pool. This cool and relaxing spot is set against a vibrant orange wall with a delicate design of flora and fauna as its focal point. The rooftop plunge pool is surrounded by umbrella-shaded tables and stunning views of the town and landscape beyond.

Experience Mexican folklore in a land of UNESCO-protected agave fields, where guests can learn about the harvesting and production of tequila. Horseback or bike ride through the fields or for a breathtaking view, take a hot air balloon ride, and enjoy a picnic breakfast in the countryside.

Back at the Solar de las Animas, visit the boutique which sells works by local artisans. The profits are used to create workshops for local women to learn to build confidence and job skills so that they can better their lives and those of their children.
