Hotel Mansion del Cupatitzio

I am ecstatic that Unilocal has arrived in Mexico!
For my first Mexico review, I want to write about my favorite place to stay — anywhere in the world — and that is Hotel Mansion del Cupatitzio. We’ve stayed here four times now, immensely enjoying each visit.
The first time, in 2000, was supposed to be a quick one-​night stay, and was based on a recommendation we received from some guy standing outside an Oxxo gas station in Uruapan, as we were on our way to Lake Pátzcuaro and Morelia. We loved this Garden of Eden setting so much, (Cupatitzio is located next to the verdant Eduardo Ruiz National Park), that we ended up staying here for three days. JP had to practically drag me out of here kicking and screaming. I did not want to leave.
At an elevation of 5,310 feet, Uruapan, Michoacan has a delightful climate, with lots of sunshine, low humidity and is never hot. Even in the rainy season (May through October) there’s still abundant sunshine with the afternoon thundershowers rather brief.
Rooms are clean, comfortable, modern and inexpensive. Parking at the hotel is easy and abundant. The grounds are beautifully maintained, graced with a pristine pool. The hotel restaurant is top notch with delicious and excellently prepared dishes. You will be wowed by the service at the restaurant, with all sorts of formally-​dressed staff fussing over every one of your needs.
A self-​serve laundry and gym are on the premises.
But the best part of staying at Cuaptitzio are the jilguerillo birds they keep in cages on the second floor. These birds have the most magical charming call that starts low and trills up the octave.
I love this hotel, and can’t wait to return for a little R&R!
