Hotel Encanto Brings Cutting Edge Design to Acapulco

(TRAVPR.COM) MEXICO - 12th February, 2010 - The renowned Mexican resort destination of Acapulco is currently experiencing a return to glamour led by an impressive array of new hotels and developments in various stages of construction. Leading this renaissance is Hotel Encanto, a stunning new 44-suite boutique property located in the exclusive Punta Diamante Zone. Designed by prominent Mexican architect Miguel Angel Aragones, Hotel Encanto is anything but traditional. With a creative and unique architectural design coupled with an exceptional level of service, the hotel is poised to become a renowned global trendsetter in hospitality design.

Designed by Sr. Aragones' as his personal tribute to the sea, Hotel Encanto was created with the intention to offer each guest expansive personal space and inspiring views of the ocean. Further emphasizing this natural feature, the hotel's structure consists of two solid, concrete back walls and open facades with incredible, unobstructed views of the ocean from virtually any location throughout the property and each of the hotel's 44 suites feature private terraces overlooking the ocean. The hotel's signature restaurant, Flor de Mar 360°, is aptly named as it offers guests a panoramic view of the stunning Puerto Marques Bay as the perfect backdrop to accent an intimate dining experience.

The concept behind Hotel Encanto's unique design was to welcome each guest to a home away from home, evoking peace and tranquility throughout. Along with his talented team of designers, Sr. Aragones created this feeling by using a white monochromatic color scheme throughout the exterior and interior surfaces of the hotel as well as custom-designed white furniture keeping the accommodations simple and streamlined. Guests are encouraged to alter their suite's atmosphere and appearance in accordance with their mood by using special lighting features. These features, which are prominent throughout the property, wash the walls in rooms, hallways, poolside and the exterior of the hotel in vibrant, neon lights to create an ever-changing ambiance.

Opened November 2009, Hotel Encanto, a 44-suite boutique property offering stunning views of Acapulco's Puerto Marques Bay, provides guests a serene getaway with the promise of peace and privacy.
