Mazatlan Luxury Hotels
The glittering waters of the Pacific Ocean are the claim to fame in Mazatlan, and your luxury hotel will no doubt offer breathtaking views and perhaps private beaches. But do not forego a Mazatlan luxury hotel that is perched in the tropic deciduous forest that surrounds Mazatlan. These luxury hotels are often the most private, the most romantic and the most luxurious. Choosing a luxury hotel is the best way to see Mazatlan; like most of Mexico, Mazatlan, while up-and-coming, is still not yet all up-scale, so a luxury hotel escape guarantees you an oasis from the busy streets. Mexican luxury hotels are famous for their attention to detail, their alacrity to every guest need and their prompt and professional behavior.
At your Mazatlan luxury hotel, you can expect the finest linens, the most elegant of décor and, of course, a delicate chocolate on your luxury hotel pillow at night. Mexico in general and Mazatlan in particular have a high standard set for their luxury hotels. Even the most experienced and well-traveled of luxury hotel guests will appreciate a Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation.
Mazatlan Museums and Historic Sites
Mazatlan has a party side, but you will be pleased to find on your luxury hotel vacation that there is also an artistic, cultural side to Mazatlan. In a city that dates back to 1531, there is a wealth of history to discover on your Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation. The Archaeological Museum of Mazatlan is only a block from the busy oceanside boulevard Olas Altas and is on a site that dates back to the nineteenth century. This museum showcases the architectural and cultural contribution of Mazatlan and the larger state of Sinaloa. A historic site of much importance that is worth a visit on your Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation is the Cathedral, which initiated construction in 1875 and is still the primary religious structure in the city. The cathedral still hosts Mass several times daily; this religious ceremony is open to the public, but check with your luxury hotel concierge in regard to times. Another historic site that is unique to Mazatlan and a worthwhile visit on your Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation is the El Faro lighthouse, whose sinuous lines make it an architectural feast. The original lamp was an oil lamp that had been handcrafted in Paris. Today, the light can still be seen for thirty miles, perhaps even from your luxury hotel.
Mazatlan Arts and Culture
Luxury hotel guests who are art lovers will find Mazatlan to be flush with cultural and artistic activities. Delfos Danza Contempranea is a modern dance group that is globally regarded as one of the finest modern dance troupes in the world. They operate a dance school in Mazatlan, as well as put on performances. Ask your luxury hotel concierge about their current schedule, as it changes throughout the year. Mazatlan is also home to the Angela Peralta Theater, which is named after the legendary opera singer who famously died of yellow fever on her way to perform at that very same theater. Even luxury hotel guests who are not opera buffs will appreciate the theater, which is built in a sophisticated and elegant Italian Renaissance style, has triple-tiered balconies and still hosts various live stage performances. For those luxury hotel guests who want to not only see art but also to purchase it, visit Casa Etnika in Old Town, an art gallery and craft shop that includes original Michoacán style silver necklaces and paintings by local artists. This is an ideal souvenir of a Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation. The best way to absorb and understand Mazatlan culture on your luxury hotel vacation is to plan your vacation around Mazatlan Carnival. Carnival in Mazatlan is one of the largest Carnivals in the world, and, like all the best ones, includes a non-stop party on the streets; parades, lots of people and endless amounts of fun. During Mazatlan Carnival is when you will be most grateful for the quiet and simple elegance of your Mazatlan luxury hotel. Book your luxury hotel early if Carnival sounds interesting to you: this is the most popular time of year to visit Mazatlan.
Mazatlan Old Town
Once the most fashionable part of the city, and then ignored in favor of the new high rises along the beach, Mazatlan Old Town has experienced a re-genesis and is once again the place to be seen on a Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation. Mazatlan Old Town is historic and elegant: the homes and buildings that dot the cramped streets are restored beauties from the 18th century. During the daytime on your Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation, simply strolling the streets and stopping for a margarita or strong coffee is the best way to appreciate the beauty of this restored district. Make sure to stop by the Mercado and pick up some fresh fruit or handmade crafts. Nighttime on a luxury hotel vacation is the best time to visit Old Town, however. White lights illuminate the cobblestone streets and music spills out of the various bars and cafes. Plaza Mechada is the heart of Mazatlan Old Town, and is venerated worldwide for its authenticity, its architectural beauty and its lively atmosphere. Considered the most beautiful part of Mazatlan, Plaza Mechada is also home to Café Pacifico, a favorite spot to grab a cup of coffee, and Pedro y Lolas, which is a lively restaurant with excellent food.
Mazatlan Beaches
The beaches get a lot of attention on a Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation; and they should, since they are among the most beautiful in Mexico. White sand and warm water, gently swaying palm trees and swift attendance by a variety of beach vendors make it a fun place to go. There is over 15 miles of beach in Mazatlan, so you are guaranteed to find a private strip of beach, should you desire it, or a loud, crazy atmosphere if that is your preference. The area that encompasses most of the beaches is The Golden Zone (Zona Dorado) and your luxury hotel may very well be located in this busy, popular part of Mazatlan. In The Golden Zone, the beaches are fronted by a street called the Malecon, which has throngs of tourists and locals strolling along it. Vendors and beach rental outfits abound on the Malecon, as do cafes and restaurants. A more private and older strip of beach is Olas Altas, which is just perfect for luxury hotel guests who are seeking privacy and quietness. Olas Altas was the haunt of the Hollywood elite in the fifties: John Wayne and Gregory Peck were often seen relaxing and enjoying this warm beach. The surrounding neighborhood of Olas Altas is similarly quiet and romantic in its narrow, tight streets, beautiful homes and lack of traffic. Today, Olas Altas is a great choice for the discriminating luxury hotel guest who wants to be separated from all the noisy action that can sometimes fill the Mazatlan streets. Mazatlan is called the Pearl of the Pacific—and it is; a true Mexican gem. Find out for yourself on a Mazatlan luxury hotel vacation.
