Solar de las Animas

With Mexican architecture and colonial style décor, you feel the old world 17^th century charm combined with modern luxury and comfort. It’s possibly the nicest hotel in Tequila — and the newest — as it took three years to build and they are now gradually accept guests to fill their 93 rooms.
The location couldn’t be more perfect, situated blocks from Tequila’s plaza del centro with views of the church Santiago Apostol and volcano. You’re in walking distance to local eats, shopping, and tequila bars (which comes in handy since the hotel is a Jose Cuervo hotel and that is the only brand of tequila they serve).
Rooms are equipped with L’Occitane products; mini bar; mini fridge; plush bathrobes, slippers and bedding; smart TV; Wi-​Fi; and a standing shower that could possibly fit you and four of your closets friends!
On the first level you’ll find the pool, restaurant, café/​wine area, strolling/​walking paths; on the 4^th floor is where you wanna go for sweeping views of the town at the hotel’s Sky Bar. They have a limited food menu (guac, chips), tequila cocktails galore, lounge chairs and a small swimming pool. The hotel also offers turndown service, beauty salon, meeting room, and a fitness center with sauna. Our group of friends were only there for one night and had an early morning tequila adventure, so we didn’t get a chance to check out all the amenities — but I’d love to return!
Rooms start at $ 170 USD, but I did notice $ 120 USD specials recently. If you book, I rec staying over the weekend, as the town is completely silent on weekdays.
My only complaints about our stay was:
: No complimentary coffee. The room is equipped with a Nespresso machine, but you still have to pay for your coffee. (Even our HolidayInn Express in Guadalajara had free coffee in both the rooms and the lobby.)
: Trying to close our tab at SkyBar took some 20 minutes. It took a staff of 5 people to stand around a machine and scratch their heads as we waited … and waited … and waited. We nearly missed dinner at the only opened restaurant in town.
: Though SkyBar had a full menu of 20+ tequila cocktails, they were only able to make 5.
