Mexico Boutique Hotels
BLOG

Let’s get you started!  But, first “si hablas Español, te invitamos a visitar nuestro Blog en Español para los Hoteles Boutique de México.

I’ve set up our blog to provide you with basic information on MBH, our hotels and who we are (See the ABOUT MBH section) and I also post information on all things related to our hotels, their destinations, Mexico food, drink, shopping and much more. POST CATEGORIES can take you to more specific content.

If you’ve recently stayed at one of our properties and wish to comment, please do so on the RECENT GUEST COMMENTS  PAGE.

If you’d like to discuss a topic that isn’t already here, please visit the HEAR ME OUT post and leave your question/comment there. Please let me know what subjects you’re particularly interested in and I’ll do my best to post about them as soon as possible. And to those of you that already have contacted me, many, many thanks. We couldn’t (and wouldn’t) be doing this without you!

Thursday night was a banner night for Villa Ganz and Mexico Boutique Hotels. That star-studded evening brought together the cream of the Guadalajara tourism crop, including Mr. Mauricio Navarro Garate, director of the city’s Office of Economic Development. He couldn’t be happier with Villa Ganz—especially in light of the fact that it won out over hotels in such vaunted destinations as Los Cabos and Cancún—and stressed his administration would do all it could to support businesses of this type. You know, the kind that help keep that beautiful sheen on the Pearl of Jalisco.

Our very own—and very chic—MBH Director, Sylvie Laitre, was present to hand over the coveted award to the equally chic Sally Rangel and Klix Kaltenmark, owners of Villa Ganz. Laitre emphasized the hotel’s importance as ambassador of Guadalajara to the world. We agree, and we’re sure the Villa’s many very satisfied guests will second that emotion.

Congratulations, Villa Ganz! We’re ever so proud!

A little background first: We run a full-page advertisement in Vallarta Lifestyles, PV’s premier what-to-do and where-to-do-it pub. It’s a pretty eye-catching piece with a tantalizing photo array of some of our cool properties. Well…

Long story short, it worked its magic and caught the attention of Laurence Jacques and his wife, Linda, who were staying at Velas Vallarta and just happened to be flipping through the magazine and…

They came to our office to pay us a visit! Yep, right here on Calle Timón in the Marina. They figured since they were so close they’d just pop on in to make reservations for a stay at our Mexico City member hotel, La Casona.

We couldn’t help but to make a big deal out of it, take their photograph and post it on our blog. Thanks, Laurence and Linda—we look forward to welcoming you at La Casona!

The MEXICO Report
SPA Review

By Susie Albin-Najera

Hollywood can be a stressful place and not always as glamorous as it’s portrayed on television. Writers have constant pressure to write, while producers have constant pressure to deliver and actors have constant pressure to perform (and find work, for that matter). And there are times when you need to just stop and take a break.
