This building is identified with a whole period of Guadalajara's history. Thus, Hotel Morales is proud to affirm that bullfighting celebrities were guests here. Also personalities of the Mexican Cinema Golden Age like Maria Felix "La Do?a", Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Mario Moreno "Cantinflas". Outstanding figures of the Mexican politics and even The King of Soccer "Pele" stayed for the night. The Hotel Morales' Bar and the old barber's shop were the meeting places of the bullfighting milieu, where everything was merriment and comradeship. The singer Pedro Vargas sometimes was on hand to entertain them informally. It Might be mentioned as a curious aside that there are rumors and legends about tunnels that connect Hotel Morales to the Metropolitan Cathedral (about 1/2 mi. away).
