Morelia: A Colonial Jewel with a Soul of its Own
Located in the heart of Mexico, Morelia is one of the country’s most elegant and historically rich cities. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Morelia captivates visitors with its pink quarry stone buildings, tree-lined boulevards, and a perfectly preserved colonial atmosphere that blends history, art, and everyday life.
As the capital of the state of Michoacán, Morelia is more than just a beautiful city—it’s a cultural powerhouse. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by stunning baroque architecture, including the iconic Morelia Cathedral, which dominates the skyline with its twin towers and glows golden at night.
The historic center is a living museum of plazas, churches, mansions, and cafés, all linked by narrow streets that invite you to wander and discover.
But Morelia isn’t frozen in time—it’s alive with energy. You’ll hear street musicians playing traditional guitar, smell fresh tamales and guava candy from street vendors, and pass students from the historic university, which has been a center of learning since the 16th century.
The city’s vibrant markets offer everything from local cheeses and sweets to artisan crafts and regional produce.
Beyond its visual beauty, Morelia has a deep soul. It’s the birthplace of revolutionary hero José María Morelos, and the city itself played a vital role in Mexico’s fight for independence. Today, it continues to balance pride in its past with a passion for art, food, and cultural expression.
During your stay, you’ll enjoy a guided walking tour that brings the city’s stories to life, with time to explore at your own pace—whether you’re diving into a museum, sipping a coffee on a plaza, or shopping for handcrafted treasures.
Our hotel is located right in the historic center, so you’ll wake up each day surrounded by Morelia’s charm and elegance.
Morelia is the perfect place to begin and end your journey through Michoacán. It offers comfort, inspiration, and a deep connection to the heart of Mexico.
