A stately 1756 mansion has been converted into a handsome hotel in Querétaro's center, with each of the spacious guest rooms decorated with fine antiques, tasteful art, parquet floors, and area rugs. The popular restaurant serves both international and Mexican cuisine. A pianist often entertains guests during breakfast.
With a sleek modern design and a terrific location within walking distance of Plaza de Armas and the restaurants and nightlife of the La Cruz district, the reasonably priced Hotel Criol has a peaceful courtyard and pool, a library, a small restaurant for guests to relax in, and compact but smartly furnished rooms.
Short of camping along the trail, you can't get a whole lot closer to the famed Peña de Bernal monolith than staying in this imaginatively designed boutique inn constructed of local stone and offering a very nice restaurant and wine cellar bar, plus a terrace, pool, and hot tub with great views of the countryside. The one drawback of being so close to the mountain is that the location is a bit outside the charming town center of Bernal. But for exploring the area, including the many wineries nearby, it's a great choice.
