Where to stay for IM Intermoda 2027: the closest hotels to Expo Guadalajara are in Zona Expo / Chapultepec and Providencia, with Centro Histórico a short ride away.

IM Intermoda is held at Expo Guadalajara, with editions in January and July; the January 2027 dates are expected. It is one of Latin America's largest fashion and apparel trade fairs, covering clothing, footwear, accessories, textiles, denim, activewear and private-label sourcing, and drawing brands, manufacturers, wholesalers, boutique buyers and retail chains from across Mexico and the wider region. The show fills Expo Guadalajara's connected halls in the west of the city and generates tens of thousands of professional visits across its run. Because Guadalajara is Mexico's second city and a major manufacturing hub, and because Intermoda draws large buying delegations, hotels near Expo Guadalajara and in the surrounding business districts book out early as buyers seek short transfers to the halls. Rooms fill quickly during show week and rates climb as the dates approach. Event Escapes shows live, bookable rates sorted by real distance from Expo Guadalajara, so you can compare genuinely near-venue hotels rather than guess from a map.

Pay Weekly: common questions
Do I pay any interest?
No. There is no interest and no extra charge. Your plan total is exactly the hotel price shown when you book. The only fee we ever charge is a processing fee on cash refunds (see 'What fees apply?').
How many payments can I make?
Depending on how far away your trip is, you can split your booking into between 2 and 16 weekly payments. The exact schedule is shown before you book.
What happens after I pay my deposit?
Your hotel is booked and confirmed immediately. You receive your booking confirmation and your full payment schedule by email, and the remaining payments are charged automatically each week.
How are the weekly payments taken?
Automatically. After your first payment, each weekly payment is charged to your saved card, and we send you a reminder 2 days before every charge. In a few countries where automatic card charges are not allowed, we email you a secure payment link each week instead. You can switch to a different card at any time.
Can I pay early?
Yes. Sign in to your Event Escapes account at any time and pay off your remaining balance in one payment, whenever it suits you. There is never a fee for paying early.
What happens if I miss a payment?
We retry your card automatically and email you a secure payment link so you can pay another way, plus a final notice with one link to clear the remaining balance. If the plan still cannot be completed, we cancel the room before its free-cancellation deadline and everything you have paid goes into your Event Escapes Wallet in full. You never lose the money you have paid. You can turn that credit into a cash refund at any time (the processing fee applies).
