Hotel Torres Del Fuerte

This an atmospheric hotel full of history set in the pretty town of El Fuerte. This is a boutique hotel with lots of character and lovely gardens. You almost feel as though you are staying in a museum or someone’s historic home. When we stayed there were few other guests so it was very quiet.

So unique!! The property was originally founded as a Jesuit Mission 400 years ago. The family has owned the property for 200 years. The present owner was born in room number 5, who we met. Rooms had original hardware and had rustic decor. An exceptional outdoor garden space. Restaurant and and bar on site. Our tour stayed one night, could have stayed for days!!!

We stayed at the Hotel Torres del Fuerte as part of a Gate 1 tour to Copper Canyon. It's hard to find the right words to describe this place: beautiful; quirky; ancient; rustic; unusual; and definitely delightful. Each room is different and I can only speak for our own. It was comfortable and full of personality. The bathroom was all stone. Not polished stone; rough, quarried stone, very rustic. As soon as you arrive at the hotel you are drawn to wander around and explore the grounds. The hotel is steps from El Fuerte's pretty plaza and cathedral. We enjoyed dinner and breakfast in the hotel's restaurant and it was excellent.

I stayed there because the hotel owner opened it to our Gate 1 guided tour during pandemic- now it seems open for booking via ******* as well. - Room: will mention later under tips. - Courtyard, garden decorations: top notch and probably the main reason to stay. Make sure that you take enough night photos while lights and decorations are on. Then during daytime enjoy "hacienda" upscale Mexican home with included western bar area, all interesting cacti and tress, birds and more. Cool guest area to hang out with antique from different countries as well (same area where wifi is available). - Restaurant is interestingly decorated with big painting and breakfast buffet is also good. Tips: VERY IMPORTANT - make sure to mention during booking whether you want to stay in a "classic (Victoria B&B) like room" or a "rustic" room. It was a shock to me as it was assigned to "rustic" room - where previous negative reviews are. Felt like you are in "maid quarter" or dungeon like a prisoner due to very unusual design including difficult to open doors with slanted metal door ledge. After a long train ride, I was in short fuse and did not take long to disappoint when I can not open bathroom easily or can not get hot water right away due to weird equipment. Later beauty of the courtyard sinks in and able to enjoy. It is an acquired taste but later found out that it was a newer guest house section (2 story cute house with beautiful trees around it) and each room has a separate heating or AC unit. I am even more impressed here with beautiful decoration than next hotel in Alamos where we all expect to see beautiful courtyard.

El hotel tiene una excelente ubicación ya que puedes ir caminando tranquilamente a la plazuela, la atención es personalizada, las instalaciones maravillosas, la comida con muy buen sabor una mezcla entre lo tradicional y lo gourmet. Excelente opción para romancear, relajarse (no hay TV) y disfrutar de un edificio histórico con amplios jardines y exquisita decoración.

Es un hotel seguro, limpio y agradable con amplios jardines e instalaciones totalmente eclécticas, adecuadas dentro de una casona antigua y con un decorado que va desde un estilo colonial, oriental, americano, mexicano, rustico, etc. Además de que la ubicacion es perfecta ya que es centrico y puedes llegar caminando a cualquier lugar del pueblo. Solo te recomiendo evita viajar en verano ya que El Fuerte es un lugar muy calido. Cuenta con bar y un restaurante gourmet con platillos exoticos y regionales. Para mi es un lugar perfecto para ir de fin de semana a relajarme o como paso para tomar el tren a la Sierra Tarahumara (Copper Canyon)
