La Perla is not only a wonderful boutique hotel, but it's much more! It's really an experience! Lorenzo, Guillermo and Antonio treat each guest as a member of the family, and the interaction with them, and other guests, is what makes the experience totally unique and special. They are warm, engaging hosts who quickly make you feel like friends. They are also very knowledgeable about Guadalajara and the surrounding area, and can offer very helpful hints (and personalized, hand drawn walking maps) of Guadalajara, Tlaquepaque, Tonala’ or whatever. Every night everyone (remember, this is a very small hotel, so we’re talking about maybe one or two additional guests) meets up in the rooftop bar for Lorenzo’s frozen margaritas (or bring your own wine or drink of choice), and the hosts show an enthusiastic interest in what you did, and can provide a lot of perspective on what’s you share, from a local’s point of view. Breakfast is delightful, and again, everyone is in attendance, and the conversation is engaging and informative, and can help you plan your day’s activities, or just be fun repartee. Of course, if you prefer privacy or to do your own thing, you can choose to do that too. The hotel itself, from the entrance to the common areas, to the breakfast room, to the rooftop bar, to the rooms themselves, is extraordinarily tastefully decorated and feels more like a curated showcase, without feeling fragile, or like you have to walk on eggs. It's a complete experience!

When you stay at La Perla, it feels like coming home. From the moment that your taxi drops you off in front of this beautiful hotel and staff greet with open arms, everything about their experience reinforced how much care has been put into making sure every guest feels welcome—even if only for a short time! The rooms are decorated beautifully yet still provide all modern amenities; there's always activities happening nearby or on site such as happy hour outdoors on the rooftop terrace. Serenity everywhere ~this place is magic!

The layout and decor of the building--gorgeous, evoking an earlier time. The real draw, however, is the spirit of hospitality, the care for each guest's specific needs. Lars and Memo are wonderful hosts. It's worth the trip to Guadalajara just to stay at La Perla!

La Perla was an amazing place to stay. The hotel: The room was quiet at night, and I could also keep it cold with the air conditioning and dark with the window shutters. As a gay man, I chose this hotel as it is gay friendly and was not disappointed. The hotel is rumored to be haunted - and I do think a ghost turned on a light in my room while I was sleeping. I wasn't scared - but rather happy that I had a story to share at breakfast. Speaking of breakfast: every morning was a continental breakfast with breads, jam, fruit, juice, eggs, water, and coffee. The conversation with the hosts and the other guests lingered some mornings and never felt rushed. The hosts: They gave me as much privacy as I wanted but also were as engaged when I needed. Lars provided a wonderful walking tour which allowed me to see the centro and also feel immediately connected. Thanks to Lars and Guillermo I learned how locals eat lunch for 70 pesos, I learned about options for nightlife, I saw the Independence Day parade, I experienced a shopping mall, and much more. The hotel has a happy hour at the end of the day which again never felt rushed and was a great way to meet the other guests and compare daily activities. I felt like a long time friend of Lars and Guillermo. I loved the email notes received weekly before my trip which helped build my excitement about the trip! Location: A short uber ride to other parts of town.

Wonderful B&B with a wonderful host. The property is located in the heart of Guadalajara and is perfect for explorers of the city. The rooms are comfortable and charmingly decorated. The host and the staff are very helpful in every aspect, from directions and attraction suggestions to even moving of the breakfast time to accommodate our departure for the airport. High marks on everything.

What a great hotel.

What a great hotel.

An amazingly wonderful experience. From meeting us as our cab pulled up to taking us on a 3 hour “walkabout” to the beautifully decorated home we were more than pleased. The team was always available to answer questions and offer suggestions. Breakfast was great each morning as well as wine offered every evening.

Lorenzo and his team are wonderful hosts! They are really taking care of you. Also, the hotel is beautiful and is worth a stay by itself. Besides, the location couldn’t be any better: less than 15 min walk to the center and 7 min walk in the other direction to an area with great restaurants. We enjoyed the breakfast, the people and our beautiful room upstairs! Definitely will stay there again.

A charming boutique hotel in central Guadalajara located close to many historic landmarks. The rooms are all quite lovely and comfortable. The mirador or rooftop patio offers great views of this wonderful, vibrant Mexican city. Originally a mansion built for a 40's Mexican movie star, this B&B will make your stay in Guadalajara most memorable. But the real reason to stay at the La Perla is because of the staff. Owner/manager Lorenzo (Lars) was born to run a B&B. He makes all his guests feel like family. Stay a few nights and you will get to know the staff as friends for life. If you are lucky, Adrian will give you a walking tour the historical city center. The staff bends over backwards to make your stay unforgettable and enjoyable. Our flight into Guadalajara arrived very late and nearby restaurants were already closed. The after hours ham sandwich prepared for us was perfection and a perfect example of how La Perla goes out of its way to make you feel at home. La Perla has it all-- even a ghost! And you will learn the history of this amazing B&B though a series of anticipatory emails that Lorenzo sends to guest to prepare them for their visit. Highly recommended!

Stop looking right now. This is it. You have found it. The absolute best B&B that this city has to offer. From the moment I arrived until the moment I left, I was positively thrilled with everything about this place and the wonderful people who make it thrive. The rooms are gorgeous. The location is perfect for sightseeing. The kind and engaging people who work at La Perla will make you feel that you are among friends and help you feel at home in any way they can, from coffee and pan dulce and assisting you in making plans for the day at breakfast, to a tour of the Historical Center of Guadalajara, advice on where to eat dinner, and engaging conversation over a glass of wine in the evening. They do it all. I loved everything about this wonderful spot. But most particularly as a woman traveling alone, I really appreciated the support in finding my way around and especially that there was always someone waiting up for me until I get home in the evening (no matter how late). You will feel at home here: Lorenzo and his fine crew will make sure of that. Don't look any further. This is the place.
