Villa Ganz (Laja, Chile)

In the heart of Guadalajara''s historic, charming Zona Rosa stands this stunning 1930s mansion-turned-boutique hotel which is arguably the most luxurious lodging in Guadalajara. In homage to storied Jalisciense author Juan Rufo, Villa Ganz''s ten suites boast names instead of mere numbers, names which pay tribute to Rolfo''s literary creations—standard master suites boast such names as "Los Joseses" and "Tacha y Jacinta", and grand master suites include "Pedro Páramo" and "Doloritas". These rooms contain standard amenities such as air conditioning, cable TV, hair dryers, and free WiFi as well as sumptuous touches such as genuine antique furnishings and decor, custom-designed toiletries, designer bathrobes and slippers, and bedding and duvets containing imported goose, as well as bookcases containing a wide-ranging selection of literature and elegant French doors looking out either onto the peaceful garden or lively Avenida López Cotilla. A concierge is on staff to help guests with any information they may need regarding their stay in Guadalajara. Guests at Villa Ganz also receive complimentary access to the Kristal Century gym, located one block away from the hotel—this even includes yoga, Pilates, and dance classes. Complimentary breakfast is served, as well as wine and appetizers in the evening.
