4- and 5-star hotels in Morelia
A shortlist of 4- and 5-star hotels in Morelia, drawn together for travellers who want a base in the historic centre or on its ridge, with the amenities each property actually lists.
Staying in Morelia
Morelia rewards walking: the Centro Histórico puts arcades, museums and the famous sweets within blocks of the cathedral, and the stone mansions are themselves the experience. Santa María sits on the ridge with views and cooler air, while Altozano only makes sense with a car and shopping plans. The city stands at 1,920 metres, so days are mild and nights cold, and on Saturday night the illuminated cathedral is the event. Serious day trips anchor the stay too: the monarch sanctuaries of El Rosario and Sierra Chincua are 2-3 hours away and open November to March, and Pátzcuaro is an hour off.
Most of these hotels sit in the centre: Hotel De La Soledad on Ignacio Zaragoza, Los Juaninos on Morelos Sur, Holiday Inn Express Morelia Centro on Portal Hidalgo and Casa Grande Hotel Boutique on Portal Matamoros all name the Centro in their addresses. Hotel & Spa Mansion Solis By Hotsson is on Avenida Acueducto Chapultepec Norte, Turotel Morelia on Avenida Acueducto, and Grand Cantalagua Hotel Morelia on Avenida Ventura Puente. Villa San Jose Hotel & Suites is in Colonia Vista Bella and Casa de la Loma in Colonia La Loma. Couples and short-break visitors gravitate to the centre addresses; families have room options at nearly all of them, and business travellers find business centres at several.

Plan your stay
When to go
The monarch sanctuaries — El Rosario and Sierra Chincua — are 2-3 hours from Morelia and open November to March, which makes those months the window for that day trip; Pátzcuaro is an hour away. The city sits at 1,920 metres, so expect mild days and cold nights whenever you come. On Saturday night, the illuminated cathedral is the event in the Centro.
