At Los Juaninos, every detail reflects its rich heritage. Its nine wonders highlight its unique charm, showing the daily commitment to preserve these exceptional spaces to offer an unforgettable experience.

Door knocker

When you arrive at the hotel, you will be greeted by a bronze hand knocker carefully placed on the door. This piece, originally from the 19th century, is a symbol of welcome and hospitality, reflecting the warmth with which we welcome our guests. Its design also represents friendship and goodwill, adding a touch of history and meaning to your experience at Los Juaninos.

Lobby Stairs

In the lobby area, admire the two impressive cantilever staircases, a true architectural and engineering jewel. Its original staircase, with a unique and precise cut, is a testimony to the ingenuity of the eighteenth century, when the building served as the Royal Hospital of San Juan de Dios. These stairs are impressive not only for their beauty, but also for their technical precision that makes them a masterpiece of their time.

Steam Baths

It is said that the first steam baths in Morelia were located in the second courtyard of the Hotel Los Juaninos, installed during the remodeling of the building by the engineer Sorinne around 1885, when it was converted into a hotel. These baths, pioneers in the city, offered an exclusive service to clients and visitors, making the Hotel Oseguera a reference of innovation in its time.

Salón Juaninos and Lobby

You will undoubtedly be delighted to discover Salón Juaninos, located in the lobby, which transports you back to the splendor of the 19th century. Its elegant Art Nouveau décor, with original elements brought from France in 1895, has been preserved to this day. The cardboard-framed mirrors and the exquisite soffit, in perfect harmony with the space, stand out. This room was the restaurant of the Hotel Oseguera.
In addition, the stained glass windows in the lounge and lobby, made with crystals that were also brought from France during the 1895 remodeling, remain intact, adding a touch of light and color that enhances the historic beauty of the hotel.

Inside Stairs

On the second floor, the staircase leading from the rooms to the terrace dates back to the 19th century. This architectural jewel is distinguished by its exquisite Art Nouveau ironwork, meticulously crafted by the city’s master blacksmiths, which enhances its historical value and timeless elegance.

Patio del Rincón Suite "Window"

If you choose Suite 219, in the bedroom area you will discover a “window” with an original grille, hand-forged in steel at the end of the 19th century. This “window”, which at the time served to ventilate the boilers brought from England, is a historical testimony to the space it once occupied. From there you can enjoy the gardens of the old Episcopal Palace, adding a touch of history and charm to your stay.

Ironwork

One of the great attractions of the building are its elegant balconies, which offer an incomparable view of the historic center of Morelia. The ironwork of these balconies, recognized by prestigious architectural magazines, is unique in its kind and embellishes both the main façade and the side of the hotel, making it a true architectural jewel.

Arches

In several rooms of the hotel you can admire the original arches that were rediscovered during the last renovation, when the covering was removed, revealing the historical structure of the building. These arches, now integrated as decorative elements, give character and authenticity to each room. A clear example of this is room 221, the smallest room in the hotel, where the vault is given special prominence, enhancing the atmosphere with its historical charm.

Original niche

Room 114 preserves an original niche in the bathroom, built during the 1885 remodeling directed by the engineer Sorinne. This niche, made of quarry stone and of remarkable size, stands out for its design and is now an essential part of the decoration of the room, combining history and elegance in a single space.
