Hampton Inn

This 108 room hotel is located within a beautifully restored building just two blocks from the Zócalo. The rooms are set on five floors and are centered around the bustling lobby beneath a brightly-colored stained-glass window ceiling.

Everything in the hotel, from the intricate façade and Talavera-tiled walls to the indoor handrails and wrought-iron elevators were restored to the original design, yet the bedrooms are modern and comfortable (and almost feel a little bland in comparison!).

The hotel has self-service laundry facilities. Breakfast is served buffet-style in the lobby, and tea and coffee is also available free of charge here throughout the day. There are two restaurants — the Garabatos bakery with its tempting pastries and the "Fisher's" seafood restaurant — both of which offer room service.
