Casa de Sierra Nevada, in the pretty Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende, has announced the latest addition to its collection of historic Spanish colonial mansions, with the opening of Casa Palma. The 18th century style mansion features six distinctive and elegant suites located directly beside the hotel’s swimming pool.
Each suite in Casa Palma is distinct, yet they each capture the rich history of the San Miguel area. They are decorated with hand painted Mexican tiles, polished copper basins, copper bath tubs and original arts and crafts. Local wood workers, iron workers and craftsmen were involved in the project, using San Miguel cantera stone to bring old-world touches to columns and fireplaces.
All six suites have under floor heating, flat screen TVs, iPod docking stations and private patios with outdoor heated plunge pools. The Presidential Suite has an outdoor living area as well as a 900 square-foot roof top terrace that has a barbeque grill, vast granite counters and a bar area, plus breath-taking views of the city centre and the Parroquia. Two suites additionally have outdoor showers.
This latest opening brings the total number of rooms and suites at Casa de Sierra Nevada to 37, spread amongst six colonial mansions, including a 17th century fort, and the former residence of San Miguel de Allende’s Archbishop in the 16th century.
Sebastián Zavala and his company, ZAGAR Contrucciones of San Miguel de Allende, were responsible for the design and construction of Casa Palma, which was originally a private residence dating back to the late 1890’s. Zavala and his team kept as much of the original house as possible, including the courtyard walls. Stone used in the reconstruction of Casa Palma was sourced from the grounds during excavation process and would have been material used to construct the original structure.
Suites in Casa Palma are priced from Mexican Pesos 6,465 (from £330*) per room per night and can be booked by visiting www.casadesierranevada.com or calling Orient-Express Hotels on 020 7960 0500.
