Renovated in 2020, this bohemian boutique uses colors, shapes and textures to reflect the story of the house’s first owner, entrepreneurial Spaniard Julián Hoyos, who arrived here in the midst of the Mexican Revolution. Bright yellow tiling represents the grain he traded, and the pink-tiled archways represent the belly of the snake on his family shield. Add to that black flooring that is also used in local churches, and the concrete façcades, which pull the space into Mexican modernist history, and the hotel becomes a design destination.
