Twenty years ago, I gave up big hotels in favor of small, intimate and elegant B&Bs. They're hard to find but they do exist and this one is at the top of my list worldwide. The Orchid House has the look and feel of a millionaire's New York town house with well chosen antiques, rugs and paintings. The beds and... More

I originally selected the Orchid House B&B because of its location in Colonia Americana (a hip neighborhood full of trees, cafes, and restaurants), but it ended up exceeding ALL my expectations. Carlos is the most gracious host you could hope for and the house is beautiful, clean, and quiet. (It's even more beautiful than it appears in the photos.) Our... More

The Orchid House description is right on target!! The home is elegant and well located in a quiet and safe residential neighborhood.

Carlos (the proprietor) is a very classy gentleman, and the perfect host. He took great personal interest in ensuring that our stay was enjoyable. We arrived at the airport at 3 AM, and... More

I stayed three nights while in Jalisco on business and was impressed with the cleanliness and attractiveness of the business. Breakfasts were a delight and the owner is very friendly and knowledgable about the area.

Having traveled around the globe with my partner, Glen, for over a dozen years, it would be safe to say that we have frequented enough B&Bs to write a traveler's guide. Guadalajara has become a favorite vacation spot for us, and our most recent stay at the Orchid House was, without a doubt, our most enjoyable experience yet. I would... More
