Hacienda de los Santos

Guests come to the Hacienda to rejuvenate and relax in an atmosphere of casual elegance, where new friendships are easily made. A sophisticated getaway that gives one the feeling of owning their own personal Hacienda.

Hacienda de los Santos is located just 2 blocks from the main plaza, mercado and cathedral in Alamos. It is possible to stroll along the cobblestone streets and explore this Spanish Colonial gem on foot.
They have extensive experience in organizing weddings so you don’t have to worry at all about the ceremony details.

Housed in the Hacienda is a collection of religious art spanning four centuries, including santos, retablos and ex-votos. Adorning the rooms are antique Spanish Colonial furnishings. Each room is uniquely appointed. All rooms have wood burning fireplaces adding to the romantic experience of the Hacienda.

Nightlife is pleasant at the Hacienda and may include relaxing on one of the many portals, where most evenings a group of young Mexican men sing romantic ballads. One may also enjoy movies in the theater and we suggest even bringing a film that showcases the bride and groom’s history together.
