One of the world's most unusual hotels, Quinta Real Zacatecas is built into the grandstand of the restored San Pedro bullfighting ring, which was built in the 19th century and witnessed its last corrida in 1975. So ingeniously does this unique hotel preserve the character and beauty of the original structure that the restoration project received the International Architectural Award just after it was inaugurated in 1989.
The hotel reflects the grandeur and welcoming hospitality of the city of Zacatecas itself. Rooms are set around a beautiful patio with its charming fountain, while the restaurant and bar are located at the edge of El Ruedo, the former bullring that has been converted into an enchanting colonial-style patio, paved with cobblestones and landscaped with abundant flowers. Quinta Real Zacatecas is one of the most charming and romantic corners of the city.
