Fiesta Inn Guadalajara Periferico Poniente is a 4-star hotel from the Fiesta Inn chain (part of Grupo Posadas), set right on the Periferico Poniente ring road in the Granja area of Zapopan, on the west side of the metro. Its clearest selling point is being the chain-brand hotel closest to Estadio Akron — home ground of Chivas and the city's big-event stadium — with an Uber ride of about 5 minutes from the front door. Across the street sits Ciudad Judicial, a government complex that keeps the area safe and well-lit all night. The rooms are business-friendly: clean, soft beds, and seriously cold air-con. There's a small pool, a gym, a buffet breakfast that real reviews call genuinely filling, and in-house parking that's a big plus if you're driving yourself. Guests consistently rate cleanliness and staff highly, landing it at 8.7/10 — best for football fans and business travelers who want to stay near the stadium without paying luxury prices.

One Guadalajara Periferico Poniente is a budget 3-star hotel from the One Hotels chain (part of Posadas, a Mexican group locals trust), set in the Ciudad Granja district of Zapopan right on the Periférico Poniente expressway.

On match day you skip the traffic and the parking scramble, then stroll straight back to bed. Rooms are simple and clean to chain standard, with comfy beds, strong air-con, a TV, and an en-suite with hot water. There is free continental breakfast, free building-wide Wi-Fi, and on-site parking. Reviews mostly praise the cleanliness, friendly staff, and value for the price. It suits budget-minded fans, solo travelers, and working guests who care more about reaching the stadium fast than about luxury. Overall 8.1/10.

This is one of the city's newest, safest and most modern business-and-shopping zones, full of glass towers, stylish restaurants and the Andares mall stacked with major international brands. What football fans love is the location: a drive or Uber to Estadio Akron, home of Chivas and the city's big-event stadium, takes only about 20 minutes, far handier than staying out in the old town.

Vallarta in Zapopan, the modern, safe west side of the city, with the upscale Andares mall and the business district close by. What sets it apart is the high-energy rocker atmosphere paired with a 26th-floor infinity pool and a rooftop lounge that opens onto a wide view across Guadalajara — you can sip a drink and watch the sun go down from up high in a way few hotels in this area can match. Rooms run dark and modern with a Hard Rock music undertone, so they feel like they have more character than your average chain. For fans heading to a Chivas match at Estadio Akron, the ground sits about a 15-minute drive or Uber away — not next door, but close enough to be convenient.

Because it just opened, everything still feels new: clean rooms, that fresh smell, soft beds and cold air-con.

Grand Fiesta Americana Guadalajara Country Club is a 5-star hotel a lot of people rate as one of the best in the city, and the numbers back it up: a 9.3 guest score on both Agoda and Booking, which is very high for Guadalajara. It sits right next to the Guadalajara Country Club in Providencia, a quiet, green, well-off residential district northeast of the centre, with good malls and restaurants close by. The draw here is genuinely polished luxury — roomy, contemporary suites, many of them opening onto wide city views, plus a panoramic-view spa and a private drinks lounge called the Grand Club. Staff get steady praise for being warm and attentive. For fans heading to Estadio Akron for a Chivas match, the stadium is about a 25-minute drive or Uber away — not the closest on this list, but the trade-off is one of the safest, smartest neighbourhoods in town.

The NH Collection Guadalajara Providencia is a 5-star glass-tower hotel from Spain's well-known NH group, parked right in the heart of the Providencia financial district next to the Punto São Paulo mall — one of the most modern, safe and easy-to-reach corners of Guadalajara.

Rooms are clean, modern and warm-toned, with the comfortable beds business travelers trust from NH Collection. The location lands in a rare middle ground: it is roughly 20 minutes by car or Uber to Estadio Akron, the city's big-event stadium, while the Chapultepec dining-and-nightlife strip sits just 10 minutes away for an easy post-match meal. Real guest scores run high at around 9.2 on both Agoda and Booking — strong marks for couples, business travelers and football fans who want a polished, well-located base with a view.

Hotel Riu Plaza Guadalajara is a 4.5-star tower planted on Av. López Mateos, one of the city's main arteries, in the Chapalita district of central Guadalajara. The thing everyone agrees on is the 40th-floor rooftop bar, which opens a full 360-degree view across the skyline all the way to the mountains — and the moment guests love most is dusk, when the city lights flick on one by one below you. Rooms run modern and roomier than you'd expect at this price, with big windows pulling in that high-up view, and the staff earn steady praise for being friendly and genuinely helpful. The location is about as central as it gets: a few minutes up López Mateos links you to Av. Vallarta and its shopping, while Estadio Akron, Chivas' home ground, is roughly a 20-minute drive. For football fans who also want a city base, it lands well. Overall score 8.9/10.

Casa Fayette, a Member of Design Hotels is a design-savvy boutique tucked inside a 1940s mansion that's been fused with a modern wing, sitting in the heart of the Lafayette district on Av. Chapultepec on the city's east side — one of the neighborhoods locals rate as the hippest in Guadalajara, packed with good restaurants, cocktail bars, own-roast cafes and small design shops you can wander all day. The pull here is the interior: a bold, color-forward mid-century look that runs from the lobby to the rooms and feels far more characterful than a standard chain. A rooftop with a bar, a pool and a spa give you somewhere to soak and reset after a day out — like crashing at the home of an arty friend with sharp taste. For fans heading to a Chivas match at Estadio Akron over in Zapopan on the far side of town, it's about 22 minutes by car or Uber. Real guest scores sit near 9 on both Agoda and Booking.
