| Overview | [ Top ] | [ Bottom ] |
 | La Perla, Boutique Bed and Breakfast, offers the other side of México that most Americans never see. La Perla, with its past movie star connections, continues as a place to meet people. The glamour of the Moorish mansion, in downtown Guadalajara, still remains.
La Perla is lavishly furnished with Baker, John Widdicomb, Karges, and Kindle; decorated with a Mexican movie star flair, using Mexican accessories, priceless Mexican paintings along with Lalique, Steuben, Swarovski, Waterford, Wedgwood, Coalport and Val St. Lambert to name a few. |  | The rooms that you will stay in honor the glamorous Movie Stars connected to the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema.
Each luxurious room at La Perla has a queen-size bed, private bath with shower, a/c and heat, flat screen TV, CD stereo, high-speed Internet hookup, wireless connection, ceiling fan, two bath robes, alarm clock, hair dryer and each room has its own hot water heater. |  | Estrella de Teatro is the largest of the rooms and has an elegant four-poster bed from Baker Furniture. It has two large, round topped, shuttered windows opening to a broad view of the neighborhood and Vallarta Street. This room has the most spacious bathroom, with a shower large enough for more than three people and two shower heads.
Estrella de Radio is furnished with John Widdicomb furniture and has French doors opening onto a large private balcony terrace overlooking other neighborhood mansions. It is the best room for your sweetheart's serenade. A typical Méxican Serenata can consist of a full Mariachi or a simple trio below your balcony.
Estrella de Cine has French doors opening onto an intimate, private balcony, with a spectacular view looking up to a towering Neoclassical dome. |  | You are welcome to have visitors at La Perla. Registered guests must accompany their visitors at all times.
La Perla is on the West side of "Centro" Guadalajara on a quiet, short, neighborhood street, just off Vallarta Avenue, with over 40 gay bars and clubs, in walking distance. They include discothèques, show bars, stripper bars, upscale martini bars, cafes, restaurants, and bath houses. Like all places, they each draw a different group of people: some draw a college crowd, some cowboys right off the ranch.
We normally go out with our guests the first couple nights to help them become comfortable and to find the type bars they will enjoy the most, for the rest of their stay. Everyone says it really helps make more out of their vacation when they are here for only a week. We are looking forward to your visit with us. |

| Location |
CENTRO GUADALAJARA
Guadalajara is considered the most European looking city in México. The Centro was built over 400 years ago by Spanish (Conquistadors) settlers. They erected grand government buildings out of hand-cut, hand-placed stones, and designed plazas to compliment their structures. There is a square mile of plazas around the Cathedral Metropolitana.
Historic churches, museums, and shops line these pedestrian malls and fountain-filled public squares. Almost every day or week, there is a concert, symphony, opera or new art exhibition. A variety of free evening concerts are held several times a week at the art nouveau bandstand on Plaza de Armas. This Centro plaza area is a social meeting place for local residents to spend their free time in the evenings and on Saturdays and Sundays.
Guadalajara is the hometown of mariachi music, the romantic ballads performed by large bands of strikingly uniformed musicians playing guitars, violins, bases, and soulful trumpets. It is the land of tequila and fiestas.
There are over 5 million people in Guadalajara, but you do not realize it is so large because Guadalajara maintains a provincial atmosphere and continues its traditions like enjoying a generous afternoon siesta. At the same time, most American cities of the same size, or even larger, might envy Guadalajara for its sophisticated cultural richness and diversity. Many people refer to Guadalajara as the San Francisco of México. Yet, Guadalajara is not a normal American tourist destination and as a result, prices are based on local and visiting Méxicans.
All of this is in walking distance from our bed and breakfast, La Perla | | Directions | Downtown "Centro Guadalajara" near templo Expiatorio. Between Vallarta Ave and Lopez Cotilla | | Transportation | Subway, Bus, Taxi | | Airport | 10 | | |
