Where to Stay in Guadalajara

Trendy, central neighbourhood full of cafés, bars, galleries and street art. Frequently recommended as the best base for digital nomads thanks to its walkability, creative vibe and concentration of laptop-friendly spots along streets like Chapultepec and José Guadalupe Zuno.

Leafier, more upscale district north of the centre with wide avenues, parks and quieter residential streets. Feels polished and safe, with plenty of restaurants and cafés but a more local, less touristy energy than Americana.

Western neighbourhood centred on a circular park, known for tree-lined streets, local restaurants and a strong expat presence. Good mix of houses and low-rise apartments, with easier parking and a more suburban feel while still being connected to the centre by rideshare.

Busy corridor running along Av. Chapultepec and into Lafayette, full of bars, venues, coffee shops and weekend markets. One of the main nightlife and cultural strips, with plenty of shared apartments and easy overlap with Colonia Americana.
