On Ponciano Aguilar in Guanajuato's historic centre, Nueve 25 occupies a restored casona within a few minutes' walk of Teatro Juarez, Jardin de la Union and the university. Its 15 rooms and suites retain the proportions and high ceilings of the old house while introducing bolder contemporary furnishings and decorative details. Sterling Rooftop Bar opens above the surrounding rooftops, church towers and colourful hillside buildings, while The Gin Bar provides a more intimate setting indoors. A spa adds a quieter retreat, and the hotel's private wine cellar occupies the former household cistern. Stone walls, internal patios and rooftop levels follow the dense vertical character of central Guanajuato.
