Best Hotels with Activities in Chihuahua

Chihuahua is the high-desert capital of Mexico's largest state, sitting at roughly 1,440 metres elevation with hot, dry summers and winter nights that drop close to freezing. It is best known as the departure point for the Chihuahua al Pacifico railway into the Copper Canyon, and for a walkable historic centre anchored by the baroque Chihuahua Cathedral, the Palacio de Gobierno and the Pancho Villa museum. For families, the city works as a practical stopover rather than a resort destination: apartment-style rentals outnumber themed hotels, hotel pools double as the main water-based activity given the lack of a coastline, and the city gave its name to the world's smallest dog breed.
