Acapulco's Hotel Boca Chica Features New Look

Showcased in the opening shot of the classic 1950s Elvis Presley movie, "Fun in Acapulco," Hotel Boca Chica highlights a design team directed by Frida Escobedo and Jose Rojas, and owned architect Fernando Romero. Featuring vintage furniture, a bird's-eye view from its rooms, and a striking location, Boca Chica is the latest creation from Grupo Habita. Designed by Mexican architect of the 1950s Antonio Peláes, the hotel's offers 36 signature rooms and suites. The hotel also features its own dock, complete with 1,000 square meters of spa and open air terraces. A couple of masterpiece mosaics by Diego Rivera pupil Francisco Eppens decorate the main façade of the hotel and bar. Guests can arrive by water taxis at the Hotel Boca Chica lobby and a grand entrance reception leads to a garden and ultimately to the large amoeba-shaped pool and restaurant housed in a palapa with views across to the Roqueta Island -- a natural reserve in Acapulco. The menu by Japanese Keisuke Harada serves a raw, fresh, and inviting menu. Upstairs large floor-to-ceiling shutters balance privacy and connection with the amazing surroundings.
