A colonial patio is at the center of the hotel and creates the perfect space to relax and go for a swim.

Traditional and authentic Mexican cuisine is the chef's passion—resulting in flavorful dishes that tingle the senses.

A unique blend of old and new styles, this is an architectural must-see with many original 19th-century features.

Based in León, Mexico, this restored mansion—the city’s oldest casona—oozes Old World charm while bringing the city into the future with Mario Plasencia’s Brutalist masterpieces on its rooftop. Nearby city attractions include Plaza Fundadores and Pope Benedict XVI Square.

Architecture Mario Plasencia
the 19th-century Mexican colonial architectural style as the base upon which to build a “floating” copper structure. Here, new technologies, such as hydraulic floors, augment ancient touches, like the Japanese shou sugi ban technique used to waterproof wood for outdoors.
Interior design Mario Plasencia
Original mosaic floors and wooden beams are contrasted by clean volumes and modern materials.

The Originals Mario Plasencia


History Highlighting the past
The patio—with its wooden and clay pergola, quarry stone details, and framed doors and windows—gives the hotel an Old World charm.

Luciérnaga Food, drink, tradition
In an effort to truly capture the authentic, the chef and his team use family recipes and techniques passed down from generation to generation. Here, a deep expertise in crafting exquisite traditional Mexican dishes means a diverse range of flavors and spices.

Outdoor pool Take a dip
Elena de Cobre’s wooden and clay pergola and patio area offer a soothing refuge from the Mexican sun, with an outdoor pool that’s perfect for a refreshing dip. A whirlpool is on hand for longer soaks.
