Tepozteco is an easy one hour drive south of Mexico City. With a population of barely over 30,000 and a phenomal sunday market we were thrilled to be out of the pollution of Mexico City and amazed that such a darling little town could be so close to the city. The town is at the center of a bowl like valley, with jagged cliffs and green mountains surrounding it. There is a nearby pyramide at the top of a one hour uphill hike, with tremendous views of the village below.

But, fresh air, beautiful views, and pyramides are only the icing on the cake. The Posada del Tepozteco is the most romantic and wonderful place to stay. Since we showed up without reservations, wanted to stay two nights, and were willing to pay cash we received their super-duper discount and got a great room, with tremendous balcony and views over the glimmering pool and town below for 50%+ off their regular rate. How could we say no? The Posada Del Tepozteco is perfectly situated on top of a small hill, with the most amazing views of the village. There is a wonderful restaurant, or you can enjoy dinner out on the terrace. Whichever you choose, you are guaranteed a memorable evening with the best ambiance and views in the world. The town, known for it's energy, spirituality, and even it's UFO's is Spring-like year round and the hotel has a heated pool with beautifully landscaped grounds surrouding it.

This is the most amazing hotel in a truly stunning location about an hour or so outside Mexico City.

I was here on business for just two nights and would love to go back as tourist.

The hotel is very small and intimate, with only 20 or so rooms. I am sure I must have had the best room in the place. It was a spacious double with tiled floor and high domed and tiled ceiling on the first floor. It had a balcony overlooking the tiny courtyard and fountain and then down into the valley and the village with the mountains on either side. A nice touch was the clock radio which doubled up as speakers for my ipod.

The food was excellent (great buffet for breakfast, including Mexican favourites such as chiliquitas and refried beans) and the service first class. I could not figue out how to get the hairdryer in my room to work, and it was fixed within minutes of my asking.

I did get the chance to go down the hill into the village and it is well worth a look around. Plenty of market stalls selling all sorts of Mexican tourist stuff - some tat, some worth buying. The church is well worth looking around and don't miss out on trying some of the local ice-creams, as speciality of Teploztlan.

I have just returned from a week's stay at Posada del Tepozteco
in Tepotzlan. Stunning location and lovely hotel: artfully designed, peaceful and restorative. It has beautifully landscaped, terraced public spaces and incredible mountain views.
Very solicitous and courteous staff. The manager, Alejandro, a prince among managers! Food quite good, too. All raves for this hotel.

I truly recomend this hotel! it has a fantastic view, we celebrated our wedding party in this hotel, I would truly recomend it not only for staying but for other social events, the food was excellent and also the service.
