Lounge corridor at the Ex Convento with cantera stone columns and event furniture

Corporate events · Historic Center

Meetings nobody wants to end

Product launches, conferences, gala dinners and corporate cocktail receptions — plus year-end posadas, Mexico’s holiday-season parties — in a historic landmark a few blocks from the Guadalajara Cathedral.

Why here

A historic setting elevates any company event

A product launch, a convention or a year-end dinner stays with people when it happens beneath cantera stone arches that have stood here since 1690. A Historic Center address keeps logistics simple for guests and vendors, and your photos and video get a backdrop no generic ballroom can offer.

All of it backed by our in-house catering and a single team coordinating every detail, start to finish.

They’ve already met here

Business schools, international federations and leadership teams

IPADE business school gathered its participants here for a working dinner under the arches of the central courtyard. Before that, the venue hosted Casa España, the Royal Spanish Football Federation’s brand experience during the 2026 World Cup. And this past August, a brand gathering filled that same courtyard with conference sessions.

When an organization looks for a space that lives up to the caliber of its guest list, the whole conversation changes: the venue stops being a room you rent and becomes part of the experience.
