Can I Use My Hotel Points in Queretaro?
Yes, Queretaro does have some of the larger hotel chains like Hyatt, IHG properties, and Marriott, but these are not located in Queretaro Centro. You would still need to take a taxi or an Uber to reach the Centro area.
Save your points for more expensive cities, like Mexico City or Puerta Vallarta. Queretaro’s boutique hotels are affordable luxury, within walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and museums, and offer something a little more special than your usual hotel room.
