Hotel Torres Del Fuerte

This an atmospheric hotel full of history set in the pretty town of El Fuerte. This is a boutique hotel with lots of character and lovely gardens. You almost feel as though you are staying in a museum or someone’s historic home. When we stayed there were few other guests so it was very quiet.

So unique!! The property was originally founded as a Jesuit Mission 400 years ago. The family has owned the property for 200 years. The present owner was born in room number 5, who we met. Rooms had original hardware and had rustic decor. An exceptional outdoor garden space. Restaurant and and bar on site. Our tour stayed one night, could have stayed for days!!!

We stayed here as part of a Gate 1 tour. All the rooms are of different quality ranging from palatial to tiny. Our room was of adequate size. The place would be very nice to have lunch at since the building is very interesting, but it is not safe for an overnight stay. The lighting in the rooms is very poor which makes it even more of a hazard to try to walk in the room and bathroom on the uneven stone floors. When I say "uneven" I mean that they were not sharp but the edges stuck up irregularly at different heights. Then, the walkways are also uneven and broken in some places and at different heights as well as poorly lit making it a challenge to walk to the dining room in the dark or anywhere even during the day. This is a very poor choice for anyone in the senior category.

We stayed at the Hotel Torres del Fuerte as part of a Gate 1 tour to Copper Canyon. It's hard to find the right words to describe this place: beautiful; quirky; ancient; rustic; unusual; and definitely delightful. Each room is different and I can only speak for our own. It was comfortable and full of personality. The bathroom was all stone. Not polished stone; rough, quarried stone, very rustic. As soon as you arrive at the hotel you are drawn to wander around and explore the grounds. The hotel is steps from El Fuerte's pretty plaza and cathedral. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the hotel's restaurant and it was excellent.

The guest receptionist or hostess gave us an option of rooms, which was great! However, she didn’t give us any other information about the hotel services, such as food or amenities. Hotels advertises a restaurant and bar, but neither was available. They did offer a wonderful breakfast in the morning. Pet friendly and was very clean. Would stay there again.

I stayed there because the hotel owner opened it to our Gate 1 guided tour during pandemic- now it seems open for booking via ******* as well. - Room: will mention later under tips. - Courtyard, garden decorations: top notch and probably the main reason to stay. Make sure that you take enough night photos while lights and decorations are on. Then during daytime enjoy "hacienda" upscale Mexican home with included western bar area, all interesting cacti and tress, birds and more. Cool guest area to hang out with antique from different countries as well (same area where wifi is available). - Restaurant is interestingly decorated with big painting and breakfast buffet is also good. Tips: VERY IMPORTANT - make sure to mention during booking whether you want to stay in a "classic (Victoria B&B) like room" or a "rustic" room. It was a shock to me as it was assigned to "rustic" room - where previous negative reviews are. Felt like you are in "maid quarter" or dungeon like a prisoner due to very unusual design including difficult to open doors with slanted metal door ledge. After a long train ride, I was in short fuse and did not take long to disappoint when I can not open bathroom easily or can not get hot water right away due to weird equipment. Later beauty of the courtyard sinks in and able to enjoy. It is an acquired taste but later found out that it was a newer guest house section (2 story cute house with beautiful trees around it) and each room has a separate heating or AC unit. I am even more impressed here with beautiful decoration than next hotel in Alamos where we all expect to see beautiful courtyard.

Is a very cozy and old hotel but the service is excellent inexpensive and great

The property is magical. The garden, the rooms, the bar... so many items that are beautiful and special. Its a feast for the senses.
