Brisas Group, which has a collection of Mexico hotels geared to business and leisure travelers in both urban and beach destinations, completed renovations and expansion at two of its properties, the Galeria Plaza Reforma in Mexico City and the Hacienda Jurica in the colonial city of Queretaro.
A renovation at the Galeria Plaza Reforma in 2016 added a rooftop swimming pool and lounge on the 12th floor that offers views of Mexico City’s skyline and bustling financial district. The hotel is steps from the city’s grand major boulevard, Reforma, and the tree-lined Zona Rosa neighborhood.
More properties in the brand are under development. One is the Galeria Plaza Irapuato in the colonial city of Guanajuato, scheduled for a fall opening. Brisas also is planning two more properties in Mexico City (San Jeronimo and Insurgentes).
The 182-room Hacienda Jurica in a quiet suburb of the colonial-era city of Queretaro. In 2016, a wing was added with 58 Brisas Business Club Rooms that are extra spacious, at 420 square feet each. Also new is a stand-alone convention center that consists of a large ballroom that can be divided into three smaller rooms.

The hotel is full of colonial-era charm. Built in the 16th century as a hacienda, its handsome stone walls, arches, chapel, gardens and courtyards set a tranquil and elegant atmosphere. The hotel restaurant Los Hules serves traditional dishes from Queretaro and overlooks a large outdoor swimming pool and centuries-old rubber tree (palo de hule), from which the restaurant takes its name.
The city of Queretaro is about 130 miles northwest of Mexico City and 25 miles from the colonial city and American expat mecca of San Miguel de Allende. Queretaro is one of Mexico’s main industrial centers with booming aerospace and manufacturing industries. As a major business-travel destination, its international airport has expanded and now has nonstop service from Houston, Atlanta and other U.S. gateways.
