Gran Casa Sayula
Beautiful 1900s-era home with a full 21st-century twist, and panache that will make you feel to the manor born. The mood is regal but not stuffy. It´s impeccable but not restrictive. And best of all it´s gracious but not antiquated.
Venturing into restoring old mansions and converting them into ravishing boutique hotels is not for the faint of heart. Luckily for us the owners happen to love a challenge. Steeped in the hospitality business since birth, they set out to bring luxury back to this 1900s-era home not only with a full 21st-century twist, but also with a panache that will make you feel to the manor born. The mood is regal but not stuffy. It´s impeccable but not restrictive. And best of all it´s gracious but not antiquated. Can you put your feet up? Most certainly, though the setting will make you want to ensure your toes are freshly pedicured (get it at Terracotta, the hotel´s exquisitely appointed spa that is noted for its exquisite massages). The town of Sayula boasts an absolutely charming historical center. Take a walk around during the late afternoon, when the sun creates a beautiful play of light and shadow on the ten different portales, or arched walkways, that frame this quaint city. Sayula also is known for its cajeta, a thick, sweet delicious caramel made from goat´s milk, its perfumed raspberries and, believe it or not, its artisanal knives, which are beloved by chefs around the world.
CONSIDER THIS ...
Gran Casa Sayula is only an hour away from Guadalajara and everything that big city has to offer. Think about enjoying a “Big City – Small Town” vacation by combining this little gem with another tiny treasure of a restored mansion,f Villa Ganz, located in downtown Guadalajara.
YOU'LL ESPECIALLY LOVE
The prose by noted local author Juan Rulfo that laces the cushions and the blue runners on the pristine beds. We love the amenities in every bathroom and the claw-foot tub in the honeymoon suite. We love the gallery that lies right inside the vestibule, where they highlight pieces by local and national artists—a recent exhibit was, in fact, curated by the director of Guadalajara´s Regional Museum. And, we love the furniture handcrafted from the homes old doors and shutters.
WHAT'S FABULOUS HERE
We´d like to save this for the Food & Wine section, but we just couldn´t contain ourselves. What´s truly fabulous here is the new chef, Hadad Partida—a former Ferran Adrià apprentice that obtained rave reviews from the Master himself. Partida brings this world class experience back to his country and creates exciting cuisine that both celebrates his origins and highlights his international expertise.
WHO IT WOULD APPEAL TO
Couples seeking a quiet, romantic hideaway, writers looking for an inspiring setting for their words; girlfriends in search of a chic spa getaway; and foodies who know their ingredients (see Food & Wine).
