Holiday Inn Express Veracruz Centro Historico by IHG
A pool inside a 17th-century former convent
Su questo hotel
Holiday Inn Express Veracruz Centro Historico by IHG occupies a genuinely unusual shell for a chain hotel: a former 17th-century convent, four minutes' walk from the Zócalo de Veracruz, where thick colonial walls now enclose an outdoor pool and a gym rather than cloistered courtyards. The restaurant and free breakfast keep the ground floor practical, and Bar 'El Estribo', four minutes away, covers an evening out. At 8.4 out of 10 across more than fifteen hundred reviews and a mid-range rate, it pairs IHG's dependable standards with a building history that most branded hotels in Veracruz can't match, a combination that makes the pool feel less like an amenity and more like a genuine surprise inside four-century-old walls.
- Former 17th-century convent

Il nostro parere
L'Holiday Inn Express Veracruz Centro Historico occupa un ex convento del XVII secolo, a quattro minuti a piedi dallo Zócalo di Veracruz, con ristorante informale, palestra, piscina esterna e colazione gratuita. È adatto a viaggiatori appassionati di storia che vogliono l'affidabilità di una catena con un vero carattere architettonico attorno a una piscina moderna. Sceglierei un altro indirizzo per un bar sul tetto o una vista spettacolare. Un punteggio di 8,4 su 1.524 recensioni conferma l'affidabilità.
- ✓Ask about the building's convent history at check-in; the four-century-old walls aren't always obvious from the rooms alone.
- ✓Use the pool in the late afternoon, a contrast worth noting against the colonial stonework around it.
- ✓Walk the four minutes to the Zócalo de Veracruz for dinner rather than relying only on the hotel restaurant.

Perché piace ai viaggiatoriI didn't expect much from a Holiday Inn Express, but the convent walls changed that fast, and swimming laps in a pool tucked inside a 17th-century courtyard four minutes from the Zócalo de Veracruz turned an ordinary business trip into something I still mention to other travelers. I asked the front desk for the building's history on my second morning.
