Queretaro, Mexico, Lodging
Santiago de Querétaro is the capital city of the Mexican state of Querétaro. It was founded in 1531. Its historic centre is a World Heritage Site.
According to tradition, Querétaro was founded on 25 July 1531. On this date Spanish Conquistador Hernán Pérez Bocanegra y Córdoba arrived with Otomí Indian Conín, the chief Jilotepec, to found the town of Querétaro. He is said to have won without resorting to arms after seeing a vision of the Cross and Saint James the Great (Santiago), after whom the city was named.
Since the 1980s, the city has received a lot of migration from other states and cities, and has changed from a medium city to become one of the wealthiest and cleanest cities of Mexico. The city is known for its high quality of life, having one of the highest per capita incomes of Mexico and Latin America.
Tourism is also important to the economy. The large number of international companies have spurred the need to offer high quality services for business tourists. Since growth stagnated from the late 19th to the late 20th centuries, downtown has been incredibly preserved. As well, Queretaro is the gateway to nearby cities in Guanajuato, and to regions and towns in the state of Querétaro such as the Sierra Gorda, San Sebastián Bernal and Tequisquiapan.
In Januray 2007, the prestigious magazine America Economía put Santiago de Queretaro in the 13th place in the ranking of the best cities to do business in Latin America, and 4th in México, only after Monterrey, Guadalajara and Mexico City in that order. The ranking takes variables such as Telecommunications, Innovation, Life Quality, Urbanization and Security. Also the city is considered the fifth most important in Mexico after Mexico City, Monterrey, Guadalajara and Puebla.
