Gran Hotel Diligencias

Over dit hotel

Gran Hotel Diligencias occupies one of the Zócalo's oldest standing buildings, and the rooftop pool sits above that history rather than beside a parking lot or a busy street, giving guests a swim with the cathedral bell towers and the plaza's arcades in view. The refined restaurant and spa keep the ground floor formal without feeling stiff, and the one-minute walk to the plaza means Veracruz's evening danzón dancers and marimba bands are practically at the hotel's own doorstep. At 4 stars and a budget-friendly nightly rate, it undercuts what a rooftop pool in an 18th-century building would typically cost, and the fitness center and free breakfast round out a stay that rarely requires stepping outside for the basics. The closing note here is simple: few rooftop pools in Mexico sit directly above a working colonial plaza still in daily use.

Waarom gasten er dol op zijn

I stayed at Gran Hotel Diligencias for a long weekend and kept returning to the rooftop pool in the late afternoon, when the marimba bands start setting up in the Zócalo below and the sound carries straight up to the deck a floor above the plaza's arcades. By my last evening I'd stopped checking the time and just followed the music up.
