In 1948, Puerto Vallarta was known as ``Puerto Las Penas``. It was a quiet Pueblo with a small population. People walked along the beach area, now known as the Malecon. There were many warehouses owned by the locals overlooking the beach. They stored corn, seeds, and coconut oil and exported these items in large ships that docked off the main street. The regional commerce areas in this era were Puerto Vallarta, San Sebastian, Talpa, and Mascota.
In 1948 Mr. Salvador Gonzalez, a man with great business vision, noticed that trading merchants traveling large distances, including families that visited Puerto Vallarta had no lodging possibilities. He built the first Hotel in Puerto Vallarta and named it Hotel Rosita. The Hotel is located near the business district. Also across the street the Malecon starts where you`ll find great restaurants, retails stores, and recreational beach areas.

A ten minute walk will lead you to the main church, municipal offices, and Puerto Vallarta's market place. Hotel Rosita is considered the most traditional hotel in Puerto Vallarta and considered a jewel due to its typical Mexican architecture.
In 1962 John Houston, Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Eva Gardner, and there entire filming crew stayed at the Hotel Rosita. It is truly a number one hotel. It offers the ambiance and hospitality of how life was once enjoyed in Puerto Vallarta.
