Hotel Villa del Conquistador

With its enviable location in downtown Cuernavaca, Hotel Villa del Conquistador lures travelers looking to explore beloved towns like Tepoztlán (roughly 13 miles east of the hotel), where mysticism and Mexican folk art are on display at the Tepozteco pyramid and vibrant market. But there's plenty to take advantage of on the property grounds, too. Active types can practice their backhand with a round of tennis, squash or mini-golf before soothing their appetite at one of the hotel's three restaurants. Those seeking an extra dose of luxury can venture to the spa for a replenishing massage before soaking in the pool or unwinding in spacious digs appointed with crisp white linens, bright orange accents, sleek cable TVs and Wi-Fi access. Past guests compliment the desirable en-suite amenities, but it's the quality customer service that garners the most praise. You'll find Hotel Villa del Conquistador situated roughly 50 miles south of Mexico City.
