Beautiful hotel with pretty patios and great food, as well as very friendly and helpful staff, and excellent tours along the river to see the petroglyphs and to a Mayo community. Highly recommended! Visited with tour group Oct 2023.


Top quality! 

The Hotel is beautiful and the staff is extraordinary. The service is amazing and the food was deliciuos. 
Everyone was willing to help at all times, the waiters and bartenders super friendly and helpful.  

Beautiful!

Was on a Caravan group tour through Mexico's Copper Canyon and stayed at Hotel Posada del Hidalgo for two nights after arriving by train from Creel. This Hotel is amazingly beautiful. It was a mansion converted into a hotel. It is not the traditional look of a hotel. The entrance to the the hotel is a steep walk upward on a stone walkway. There is another entrance staff can take you to if your mobility is not good.  It is like a maze with hallways and staircases with beautiful decor. Upon arrival our group was welcomed by staff offering us a tiny sample of a Margarita. I had such excitement just to explore all the crooks and crannies of this magnificent mansion. I felt quite privileged to be in room 49 just off a beautiful courtyard full of bougainvillea and Victorian style couches and chairs and not far from the room Zorro stayed in. I came to learn that my room entrance of an archway and high wood doors with a high arched stained pane glass window was originally the entrance to the workers living quarters. The bed very high to climb onto was king size with a flower on the pillow top. There was 2 wood side tables, a wood carved desk but no chair and a woven wicker bench for luggage. The tv was on the wall. The high ceiling has wood logs design with a chandelier hanging. The bathroom has a small porcelain sink which is quite hard to lean over for washing as it is quite high. There is soap, Kleenex, hand lotion dispenser, hairdryer and the shower is a separate stall. I did not use the shower as that night when I opened the sink tap, muddy water came flowing out at the beginning. I did not want to take a chance in the shower if the same might happen. And oh yes I got woken up at 4:15am with the crowing of roosters.  I found this happening quite often hearing the roosters and dogs through my journey through the Copper Canyon. Breakfast buffet is small and staff serve you. It did not look to appealing to me except for the potatoes.  I did enjoy the omelette that they make to your liking with cheese, mushroom and Mexican vegetables. Dinner at their pretty restaurant with floral flowers decorating the ceiling was very good. Tasty vegetable soup. Main dish Black Bass Fish with garlic butter, rice and vegetables. After dinner the hotel puts on a cheesy Zorro show. At 5pm the hotel bar just off the beautiful swimming pool area does a Tequilla Margarita demonstration. They give you a small sample of their Margarita drinks and their special Hotel brand Zorro Tequila. And if you want to buy their Zorro Tequila bottle it is an expensive $70.00 US. Was expecting a demonstration on how to make a Margarita which does not happen so that was disappointing. The swimming pool water is warm like bath water. The Hotel gave our group a private tour of the hotel and a short tour of the town of El Fuerte by the charming gentleman guide (which I do not know his name). He has been working at this hotel as a young boy and now is retired but comes back to help out at the hotel when needed. The town of El Fuerte is quite pretty, check out the park with the sign. For souvenirs surprisingly this is not the place for a lot of choice like you have in Creel. There was only 2 stores and about 3 outside souvenir vendor stands. There is a lot of stores on another street that cater to the locals.

Amazingly Beautiful Hotel

From beginning to end, this was a wonderful experience. The rooms are exquisite and cover a range of tastes, from historic to modern.  The restaurant was excellent.  On arrival we were given a historic tour of the estate but the most wonderful part was how we were treated after check out  I forgot a keepsake of mine in the room.  It was a blanket.  I know it sounds stupid but it was important to me.  Fanya Roman, the sweetest person ever, retreived it and sent it to me in Mazatlan.  She also included a book and some cookies from Los Mochis, with it.  Talk about customer service!  So, please plan a trip to this wonderful place.

Truly wonderful in every way.

Enjoyed the beautiful grounds and the Zorro show. Chuy was an amazing bar tender and Zorro was very entertaining.  Rooms and beds were very comfortable.  Only negative is not about the hotel but the town has little flying bugs, so bug cream or spray is a must.

Beautiful and fun

We spent a few hours here on a tour and really enjoyed the food, dancing and hummingbirds.  The town is very beautiful and the hotel and gardens are fun to explore.  

We didn't stay here but looked in a few rooms and they were very nice.  The outside bar was also very nice.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

I would definitely stay here on our next visit to the area.

Beautiful Hotel

The hotel accommodated our every desire and saved us a day wasted by an airline delay.  We were met at the El Chepe train station at 9pm and transported by van to the hotel, about a ten minute drive. Our speedy check in was easy and we were able to eat dinner in the restaurant, enjoy a bottle of the hotel’s delicious wine from their own Cerocahui vineyard, and enjoy the Zorro show. The beautiful hotel was filled with antiques and artifacts.  Our room, located in an interior courtyard, was well appointed, cool, and quiet. We booked a morning tour of Rio Fuerte and enjoyed learning about the plants and pre-Mayan petroglyphs by our knowledgeable guide Miguel, aka “Zorro”.  I wish we could have stayed longer.

Outstanding

Got this hotel as part of a tour we took. It was excellent. We stayed at the "Casa Vieja" section of the hotel which was awesome. The service was impecable. Gabriel, one of the waiters there took care of us like family. Really great experience. Don't go to El Fuerte in the summer time, it is extremmely hot and humid.

Excellent hotel with very comfortable and clean rooms

We had decided to visit the Canyons before the Easter rush and the rainy season, and it was a good decision. The hotel is centrally located in this beautiful small town of El Fuerte, hometown of El Zorro. The installations have already seen many years passing by, but are well maintained and give a good colonial feeling. Gardens, room and restaurant are very clean and the staff very attentive and helpful. We had a very spacious room, overlooking the Plaza, but it was quiet and the decoration very typically Mexican.
We had dinner at their restaurant and the food was delicious. Local specialities, fresh, well prepared and nicely presented. If you are in El Fuerte, you have to have one meal there.

first hotel when visiting the Copper Canyons

Lovely colonial hotel with gardens, pool and a rooftop bar.
Rooms a good size, comfy beds and pillows.
No opening window. Cockerels start crowing at 5am onwards so no need to set an alarm!
Charged bottled water in the room $39 pesos.
Enjoyed the free Zorro show even though we didn’t speak Spanish.
Lovely courtyards.
A short walk to the beautiful square.
