Description: Hacienda San Gabriel de las PalmasSituated only 90 minutes from Mexico City, in the state of Morelos, just off the recently completed super highway to Acapulco, a cobble-stoned promenade lined with statuesque Royal Palms leads you into the sixteenth century, by way of a magnificent Hacienda named San Gabriel, which is now a small but very exclusive hotel, surrounded by lush vegetation and blessed by a constant all-year round warm climate.The main building was constructed in 1529 under the orders of Hernán Cortés. The stone walls which support immense barrel vaults have been painstakingly and meticulously restored over the years to give each corner an atmosphere of serenity. In Colonial times it was a Franciscan Monastery. After the war of Independence it became the largest sugar plantation and sugar refinery in Mexico. Not until recently has a new page of history been written about San Gabriel de las Palmas, as it has been converted into one of the most exclusive hotels in the world.

Their kitchen is one of a kind which represents a culture that is proud of its mixed origin roots, offering quality among rich flavors and a variety of aromas and colours. Select from the menu and enjoy your choice with all five senses and you can enjoy service by the waterfall or in the shade of a century- old Amate tree, or in one of their medieval vaults.
