Hotel La Estación

Top choice in The Copper Canyon & Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacífico


An homage to El Chepe, every room in this movie-house-turned-inn is dedicated to a different stop along the Copper Canyon Railway. Think murals and photos, even original train doors. Each unit has an urban-chic feel, with creature comforts like rain shower heads and fine linens, and the balcony terrace is a great place to unwind. Breakfast includes organic and homemade regional goodies.

Located on a small leafy square, just south of the central plaza.
