Just two hours by car from Mexico City, the hotel occupies a restored 19th-century building, blending courtyards, arcades, and original stonework with modern interiors. Guests can unwind on the rooftop terrace, with its infinity pool and panoramic views of Puebla’s skyline framed by the Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes.
