Casa de las Flores

Top choice in Guadalajara


A popular spot (and for good reason), this colorful guesthouse is positively crammed with high end ceramics, and boasts a garden full of flowers and a decorative fireplace that defies belief. The seven rooms in an outbuilding have an engaging Mexican feel, with multicolored bedcovers, tiled sinks, haunting art and (sometimes) skylights and balconies.

You’ll spend days inspecting the details in your room and the well-stocked El Nahual Gallery, its inhouse shop with wonderful ceramics, figurines and masks.
