This hotel is a gem. Wonderful. The rooms are stylish/deluxe/spacious/comfortable. The breakfast is very good (nice dining room and food). Excellent service. One of the best things about the hotel is the street. There are about eight good restaurants on the block. Beautiful places to eat. The weather is perfect and they are mostly open air.
There are some - worth visiting - shopping areas that are walkable from the hotel. They are are about a 10-block away. You get to wander through the calm upscale residential neighborhood.
Definitely check out the Midtown Shopping Center with the Midtown Hilton. Beautiful, impressive, and architecturally significant. Visit all areas, including the upper shopping level the third floor for food (to appreciate the design). Don't miss the deluxe Fresko supermarket on the lower level.
And, walk to the Fresh Lovers market. Many small shops and restaurants around it with a lovely park. Parque Silvano Barba
Plaza Patria is another area shopping center. It has a Liverpool department store. The first two areas I listed are more interesting.
The NH Collection and the Midtown Hilton are probably the two best hotels in Guadalajara. The Hyatt Regency is also a deluxe. The problem is that it's too far from everything else in the city. However, do go and check out the beautiful luxury shopping center next to the Hyatt. It's called Andaras.
The JW Marriott, AC Hotel, Fulton Hotel and HS Hotsson are very close to the NH Collection. The street you need to cross (to get to them) has a center section that is like a freeway. I am glad I did not stay at those hotels. It's dangerous to try and cross that street.
I also went by the Hard Rock Hotel and the Riu Plaza Hotel. I personally would not pick them. They are surrounded by freeways. Not very walkable.
Do make a daytime Uber trip to the central historic district and walk Avenue Chapultepec. However, around 5:00 PM, it can be tough to get a car back.
I am happy that I spent a little extra money and stayed at the NH Collection Providencia. It's a very good choice. I stayed for seven nights. I enjoyed relaxing at the restaurants near the hotel and walking to...

Read moreMy husband and I recently stayed here while on a couples getaway in Guadalajara. This hotel was such a disappointment compared to the Hyatt where we normally stay. The towels were stained and threadbare. I literally wouldn’t keep a towel in my house that looked like these. Absolutely unacceptable for a hotel to have old towels coming apart at the seams. We left a substantial tip for our maid on the first morning and our towels weren’t even replaced. She left our one wet, stained face cloth beside our sink and didn’t leave any clean ones. Shake my head. |We requested extra water for our room as you can’t drink the tap water or use it for brushing your teeth. The front desk clerk told us we are only allowed two bottles of water a day. Why are they rationing water in a place where the tap water is not drinkable? Our only option was to pay for water provided by room service. |Do not stay here. There are MANY other options in GDL where the management is not afraid of going broke by buying new towels or allowing their guests to safely quench...
