The Hotel Imperial Veracruz, is located at the main plaza of Veracruz City, in the heart of the
downtown, the zocalo. It is the oldest hotel in the entire American continent, founded in the
year of 1794, as a luxury hotel. When the Spanish came in the 14th century, to conquer Mexico,
they founded the first city of all our continent, Veracruz. Yes., it is the first city in all
America. All the downtown is constructed with coral reef rock, and so the hotel also has the
same material. Our suites have names instead of numbers, with names of aztec kings, and
mexican heroes. We have an 102 years old elevator, and it is still working for our clients.
This elevator was the first one in Latin America, when it arrived in the year of 1904. This
building where the hotel is located, is considered an historic monument for Mexico. We can say
that it is an historic jewel. We also have a lot of tales that happened inside, historique
tales. The hotel received lots of guests in the past two centuries. Guests like an old
austrian emperor, Maximilian of Hasburg, and modern guests like Michael Douglas, when he made
the film of Romancing the Stone, and a lot of important politicians and artists. Now we are
preserving this history, and legendary hotel. We adapt our services to our clients needs.
