Architecture Mario Plasencia

Housed in one of the oldest restored casonas (mansions) in the historic heart of León, the hotel retains...

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

At the heart of the property is a colonial patio, which served as the design inspiration for the hotel.

Original mosaic floors and wooden beams are contrasted by clean volumes and modern materials.
