Our magnificent hacienda, whose construction began in 1529 under the orders of Hernán Cortés, is a true historical treasure.
The legacy of Spanish engineering, with its impressive barrel vaults and semicircular walls, transports our visitors back to the 16th century. Initially, the estate served as a monastery for the Franciscan order.
In 1558, the Franciscan missionaries mysteriously abandoned the monastery, marking the beginning of a new era for San Gabriel. The hacienda was transformed into a sugar plantation that would later become the largest and most influential sugar mill in Mexico. During the War of Independence, this historic site witnessed important events, and during the Mexican Revolution, it served as the headquarters of Emiliano Zapata.
Today, in the 21st century, Hacienda San Gabriel de las Palmas has become a luxury tourist destination, on par with the great European castles. Here, the personalized service and warm spirit of our team are combined with efficient hotel management.
We offer our guests the opportunity to enjoy lush natural spaces, with palm groves, bamboo, edible forest and organic orchards.
