Hacienda San Antonio del Puente Hotel, Mexico
From series “Best industrial-style loft hotels”Year: 2011.
Hacienda San Antonio El Puente Hotel is a real historical landmark in the Mexican city Cuernavaca. It was opened in the old building of the sugar cane processing plant. The Spanish conquistadors were the founders of this plant. It was built more than 500 years ago. The beautifully preserved building is a unique monument of colonial architecture today. It impresses with its impressive scale. More than 200 people worked at this plant in the past. Many of them lived right on its territory.
Once a major accident happened at the factory. One of its furnaces exploded. The building required a lengthy and complex reconstruction after that. The owners of the plant almost managed to complete it. But the political coup that took place in the country prevented them. The Spanish owners of the plant had to return to their historical homeland because of this coup. The huge building had been in disrepair for more than a hundred years. Many of its buildings were almost completely hidden in the thickets of tropical vegetation.
