Puebla's Best
Luxury Hotel:
El
Sueño Hotel & Spa is located in the city center of
puebla, one kilometer from the main plaza and three
kilometers from the convention center.
The
hotel occupies an 18th-century building, that although
renovated in 2002, retains its historic ambience.
Contemporary elements blend with minimalist decor to
create an eclectic union of design and function.
Mornings begin with complimentary cooked-to-order
breakfasts. El Patio de la Pileta offers regionally
inspired breakfasts, lunches and dinners served beneath
a metal tree sculpture complemented by a stone pool and
waterfall. La Tentación prepares Mediterranean fare, and
offers an extensive wine, martini and cocktail menu. The
lounge features musical entertainment. Complimentary
wireless internet access is provided on the patio. The
hotel's spa is located on the terrace, and affords views
of Angelopolitana Cathedral. A spectrum of more than 20
therapies includes sports, Swedish, Ayurvedic and
hot-stone massage. Facials are tailored according to
personal skin analyses. An outdoor spa tub offers an
opportunity to relax amid the hotel's gracious
surroundings. The hotel concierge arranges tours and
places reservations.
This
two-story property offers only eleven suites equipped
with complimentary high-speed internet access.
Flat-screen televisions feature cable connections and
dvd players. Complimentary room amenities include
bottled water and daily newspapers. Suite design varies,
but most feature minimalist décor with polished wood
floors. Select accommodations boast arched entryways,
timbered floors, chandeliered ceilings and stone walls.

Innovative
Mexican hotelier Carlos Couturier’s latest project is an
inland wonder, a former 19th-century water-purifying
centre next to the Iglesia de San Francisco in the
colonial city of Puebla. Purity is the guiding principle
of the hotel’s design as executed by renowned architects
Ricardo Legorreta and his son.
Minimalist in style – but still with plenty of luxury: a
roof terrace and 30-metre pool provide ample
recreational opportunity, and the 26 guestrooms offer
spectacular views of the city. A ground-floor
restaurant, patio, library and extensive wine cellar
offer civilized diversions, but La Purificadora's real
achievement is in its mix of tradition and contemporary
flavor.
