THE HOTEL
Las Alcobas is an aesthetic marvel designed by the renowned interior design studio, Yabu Pushelberg. Formerly a private residence, it has been transformed into a wonderfully upscale boutique hotel, where every detail has been considered - from the premier in-room spa amenities to the personalised guest services.
The sheer beauty of this hotel is apparent from the moment you enter the super-stylish marble and glass lobby with its cascading water fountain. The 35 rooms continue the theme, with chic furnishings standing alongside local hand-knotted rugs, contemporary Mexican artwork and amenities inspired by ancient Maya traditions. In addition, every room is replete with state-of-the-art technology, whilst lavish marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs and personal 'Bath Butlers' complete the sense of luxurious escape.
This boutique hotel offers a true oasis of tranquillity in one of the world's most exciting cities.
First experience with A&K. Intended to ask various travel companies for quotes but Vicky (Agnew) was so good with her suggestions that we did not seek alternative quotations the suggested itinerary was excellent and helped us decide on a balanced and interesting holiday.
