Mexico Boutique Hotels

The magic begins the minute you step foot in this beautiful mansion located right in the heart of Morelia, one of Mexico´s loveliest colonial cities. Built in 1622, this gorgeous building underwent an extensive restoration beginning in 2007. It was thus transformed into a magnificent hotel that still retains the original features that highlight its more than 300 years of history, masterfully blended with the contemporary touch that makes Cantera Diez such a unique destination. Each and every one of its 11 suites is strategically designed to inspire rest and relaxation in an elegant, modern ambiance. All are exquisitely decorated with the art of masters Irma Obregón and Rodrigo Treviño.

During your stay you´ll discover the details that make your suite unforgettable: some have a private bar, others an open-air bathtub, still others a Jacuzzi upgraded with cromatherapy and enough bubbles and jets to disperse even the most tenacious executive stressÉ or become the setting for a very romantic interlude. As if that weren´t enough, some suites also add in a breathtaking view of the Cathedral.

If you still decide to wander out in spite of all the comforts and delights offered by the hotel, you´d find yourself in one of the most convenient spots in the city from which enjoy an abundance of fine restaurants and the many cultural pursuits of the city of Morelia. Which, of course, means you´re still steps away from the elegance and serenity offered by Cantera Diez.

Consider This ...
Cantera Diez can be the ideal departure point from which to discover the wonders of the local purépecha culture. You´ll have easy access from the city of Morelia to a number of small towns brimming with culture, such as Pátzcuaro, Quiroga, TzinTzunTzan and Cuitzeo. The city´s privileged location, just between Ixtapa and Nuevo Vallarta, also allows for some great beach-city vacation combinations. However, if you´d rather not go that far, you´ll find plenty to capture your fancy in the immediate environs of the hotel: the Cathedral, the Government Palace, the Clavijero Palace (which plays host to many international festivals) and a plethora of other gorgeous buildings will seduce you into exploring more and more of this splendid city.
