About this property

Welcome to El Templo

El Templo stands out as a remarkable destination in the heart of Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosí. With a solid rating of 4.2, this hotel brand offers more than just comfortable accommodations—it presents an immersive experience that blends natural beauty with thoughtful design. Visitors consistently praise the comfortable rooms and outstanding service, reflecting the brand’s commitment to guest satisfaction.

Beyond lodging, El Templo captivates visitors with its carefully curated photography spots and scenic viewpoints. The brand has innovatively integrated "atracciones" that invite guests to capture the breathtaking sunsets and panoramic vistas unique to this magical town. While access to these photo spots comes at an additional cost, many find the value justified by the stunning views and memorable moments they create. This approach both enriches the visitor’s recreation and sightseeing experience, making El Templo a hub for those eager to explore and immortalize the natural landscape.

The restaurant at El Templo receives high acclaim, noted for its fantastic offerings that complement a day full of exploration. The blend of excellent food and picturesque settings adds depth to the overall stay. However, some feedback highlights challenges such as occasional long wait times at popular photo attractions, suggesting an opportunity for improved organization to enhance visitor flow.

El Templo’s role extends beyond being a mere hotel; it serves as a cultural and visual landmark within Real de Catorce. Its dedication to providing varied experiences—comfort, gastronomy, and visually stunning spots—speaks to the brand’s vision of creating a comprehensive travel experience. For those seeking a balance between relaxation and active engagement with the region’s unique landscapes, El Templo offers a memorable and enriching stay that resonates long after departure.

Great hotel in Real de Catorce. Rooms are comfortable. Service is outstanding. The restaurant is also fantastic. Lots of spots to take great pics in particular at sunset. Highly recommended.

No me quedé en el hotel ni en el restaurante, solamente entré al área de "atracciones" y miradores. El lugar funciona y fue creado como un lugar de "spots fotográficos", es algo caro honestamente, puedes pagar atracción por separado o por paquete. Yo compré uno de 6 spots y costó $300 mxn. No te va a llevar más de 40 mins - 1 hr... Solamente puedes pasar una vez a cada spot/atracción, así que se debe pensar bien que poses ó ángulos deseas para tus fotos, porque además habrá fila de personas esperando su turno. Si te gusta la fotografía y admirar el paisaje, vale la pena, si no, no le encontrarás mucho sentido..

El lugar es amplio y muy bonito, las atracciones para tomarse fotos son buenas, lo malo son las interminables filas para poder capturar un momento, falta organización en ese aspecto. Excelente lugar en el pueblo mágico de Real de Catorce.

Puedes encontrar distintos espacios para sacar buenas fotos, el problemas es que te cobrar por cada set fotográfico. pero la verdad vale la pena un mirador increíble y la mejor vista.
