Hilton Guadalajara Midtown is a contemporary 225-room hotel in the Providencia area, part of a mixed-use development with a shopping mall on site. The hotel has an outdoor heated rooftop pool with a poolside bar, and Wander, a rooftop bar, adds city views. Härth Kitchen Bar Market is the main restaurant, serving international dishes for breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, with a children's menu, and there is also a Nikkei-inspired restaurant, a lobby bar and an executive lounge with breakfast and refreshments. The property has ten meeting rooms, so it attracts business guests as well as leisure travellers. Valet parking is available for a surcharge. It is a polished, reliable choice for travellers who like international-brand comfort, loyalty benefits and a pool.
Location and getting around
Providencia is a well-to-do district west of the historic centre, with restaurants, shops and cafés, and the hotel's own development puts shopping and dining on the doorstep. The Basílica de Zapopan, the Guadalajara Cathedral, the Plaza de Armas, the Telmex Auditorium, Akron Stadium and the Minerva roundabout are all described as nearby points of interest, although they are a drive rather than a walk, so plan to use taxis or ride services. The historic centre is a short ride, and Bosque Los Colomos lies in the same direction as Providencia.
The rooms and facilities
Expect modern, comfortable rooms with the standard features of a major hotel brand. The executive lounge is valuable if you have access, since it offers breakfast and refreshments. The rooftop pool and bar make the evenings pleasant, and it is wise to ask for a room away from the rooftop if you are a light sleeper. Families will appreciate the children's menu at the main restaurant. Confirm whether breakfast is included in your rate.
Good to know
Parking is valet only, for a surcharge, so ask about arrangements if you are arriving by car. The hotel suits business travellers, couples and families who want comfort, a pool and an on-site mall, and it is a good base for visits to Zapopan and Los Colomos. It is less suited to travellers who want to be among the old plazas and walk to the cathedral, who may prefer Hotel de Mendoza or Hotel Frances. If you plan to attend a match or concert at Akron Stadium, check transport options in advance.
Dining and extras
The variety of restaurants and bars on site, plus the mall next door, means you can eat, shop and relax without much travel, which is handy for families and for business guests with limited time. Ask about the executive lounge and any loyalty benefits when you book, and check whether the rooftop pool is open at the hours you want, since pool times usually end in the evening.
