In the 1930s the property was sold to the Mexican government and it was eventually converted into a hotel.\n\nToday, the Castillo Santa Cecilia is a luxurious hotel with 24 guest rooms, each of which is uniquely decorated with antique furnishings and artwork. The hotel offers a range of amenities including a restaurant, bar, outdoor swimming pool and gardens with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.\n\nOne of the hotel’s main attractions is its impressive collection of artwork, which includes works by famous Mexican artists such as Diego Rivera.

Great Guide - Michel was a great guide who brought alive the history of Guanajuato. He was a joy to spend time with. We especially enjoyed the Hacienda and its gardens. What a wonderful story of a wealthy mine baron and the way the ore was processed on the hacienda grounds. Thanks to Michel!
