VILLA DE VILLAR Originally a house from the 16th Century located in the heart of the city. Each one of the 10 exclusive rooms is dedicated to one of the main municipalities of the state. The aqueduct, a symbol of the City of Queretaro, was built between 1726 and 1735 thanks to the contribution of Marques de la Villa del Villar del Aguila. Villa Del Villar Hotel takes its name as a remembrance of the Marquis title. The house that hosts the Hotel is located over the crossing of one of the main spring water channels that have existed since the sixteenth century and which was in use before the Aqueduct was constructed. These channels carried crystalline water to the city fountains, gardens, churches and houses. The fountain of Villa Del Villar courtyard and the SPA basement are remnants of this system of water distribution which originally supplied water to the occupants of the house. The hotel is one of the few buildings in Queretaro which maintains this ‘acequia’ in perfect condition. Link to Hotel web site

ANTIGUO MESON DE ASPEYTIA HOTEL Located in Queretaro's Historic District, this magnificent Boutique Hotel offers you the opportunity to stay in an 18th Century home that has been designated as a national historic landmark. Just a few feet from colonial buildings, restaurants, museums and plazas, each of the 17 unique rooms has been updated with the home's original style, along with modern and elegant touches for utmost comfort. The Antiguo Mesón Aspeytia now proudly goes by its original name dating from the 18th century. An Inn in the beginning, it later had the honor to serve for many years as barracks for the military, until the quarters were moved to Cebadal Street in 1802. Another nearby building worth mentioning from the historic past, is the house numbered 1 ½ from the “Callejón de Aspeytia.” It was home to Don Luis Mendoza, barber by profession, and active member of the Independence movement. From this very house, Mayor Don Ignacio Pérez took a horse and rode to San Miguel, to give the most urgent message sent by the Corregidora, that the conspiracy had been discovered. Mr. Mendoza’s name is written in gold letters over the State Legislature’s Chamber of Sessions. History tells us that in the 18th century an uneducated priest from the Carmelite Order, by the surname of Aspeytia, lived on what is now Morelos Street (between Juárez and Pasteur), gave up his habits, married and made a fortune to the point that he subsequently owned and restored all of the homes facing south. The street was named “Callejón de Aspeytia” to honor him, where he lived the rest of his life, and subsequently died without descendents.

Before the Spanish Conquest, the area of Jurica, where the hacienda is actually located, was discovered by the Tarascans, natives from the region who decided to call it Jurica which means “place of well being” because of the beauty of its thermal and crystal clear waters. The Hacienda originally belonged to Conin, a Tarascan native who was Christianized by the Spanish after his baptism gave him the title of Fernando de Tapia. In the 16th century Emperor Carlos V gave the Hacienda to Viceroy Don Luis de Velazco, who in 1551 gave it to Don Juan Sánchez de Alanis in recognition of his achievement in the conquest of Querétaro. At one time the hacienda employed more than 500 people. What was what in those years ... The Presidential Suite used to be the payroll office and the adjacent room was the room for the Priest of the Hacienda who was in charge of performing the Catholic mass and of evangelizing the little Tarascan village. The Calandrias Bar: used to be the main barn, where they stored the best of the harvest every year. The Business Center, located near the business rooms area, also was part of the barn where they stored some grains. The arches located at La Paloma Azul bar were built at the start of the construction of the Hacienda as part of the decoration of the gardens. La Fontana Ballroom: this ballroom was built using parts from the original aqueduct built by Mr. Fernando de Tapia (Conin) in order to supply the Hacienda with fresh water brought from the nearest river in town. In 1960 the Hacienda became a property of Mr. Juan Manuel Torreslanda and in 1969 Mr. Torreslanda decided to turn the Hacienda into a high-end Hotel. The grand opening took place in March, 1969. In 1991 the Cosio family bought the property and since then this beautiful hacienda is proudly part of Brisas Hotels & Resorts. Set in the suburbs of Querétaro, this hotel resembles a traditional hacienda, with three buildings arrayed around courtyards, patios, and an outdoor pool. The hotel now features modern amenities, including 11 conference rooms for up to 700 people, a fully equipped business center and a world-class restaurant offering international cuisine. The hotel offers several on-site recreational options including basketball, tennis and horseback riding. There is also a game room with ping pong, pool table and other games.

QUINTA RIO HOTEL was built at the end of the 17th Century in the zone called “El Otro Bando” (the other side). The zone was inhabited by the poor, who were not well represented in the city, so there weren't services of any kind in this area.

The alderman built the extravagant house in front of the church, where he lived until he died. The house was called “La Casa del Faldón”.
