Acapulco, Mexico (September 13, 2010) – As one of Mexico’s most renowned and legendary beach resorts, Acapulco has reinvented itself throughout the years. Today, as the destination experiences a true renaissance, an array of hotels and resorts throughout Acapulco are renovating and updating their guest rooms, special amenities and VIP services in order to compete with the new hotel openings over the past year including the Banyan Tree Cabo Marques and Hotel Encanto. These “fresh-faced” hotels are some of the most recognized in Acapulco, offering travelers a glimpse into the destination’s famous history while enjoying the modern updates and amenities offered.
One of Acapulco’s “new” hotels is also one of its most celebrated; Hotel Boca Chica, a project from trend-setting Mexican hotelier Grupo Habita, reopened its doors in March 2010. Partnering with Mexican architects Frida Rojas and Jose Escobedo as well as Fernando Romero, owner of the famed hotel located in the Traditional Zone of Acapulco, Grupo Habita has fully renovated and restored the property’s 36 guest rooms back to it’s original 1950’s glamour. This retro beach hotel additionally features Boca Chica Baths, a full-service spa, as well as an on-site restaurant and sushi bar. As a testament to the renowned Acapulco nightlife scene, Hotel Boca Chica is also home to nightclub Coco Wash.
Formerly known as the Hyatt Acapulco, The Grand Hotel Acapulco & Convention Center recently completed the first stages of an extensive renovation and remodeling project that began in May 2009. Renovations include new room categories, 200 of which were completed and opened in December 2009. The remodeling will ultimately include renovations to the hotel lounges, restaurants, and pools, as well as include the construction of a new, exclusive spa.
The Fairmont Acapulco Princess, one of the destination’s most beloved hotels, recently introduced the Pearl. Located on the Fairmont Princess property and following a $30 million renovation of one of the hotel’s existing towers, the Pearl offers luxurious accommodations and world-class services along with private pool exclusive to Pearl guests.
Set among 40 hillside acres of the Acapulco Bay, Las Brisas recently underwent a $20 million renovation, transforming the legendary hotel to better meet vacationers’ needs. With a goal of retaining the property’s celebrated ‘white and pink’ charm, the restoration enhances the luxurious experience with renovations to the 263 rooms including expanded bathrooms, flat screen televisions and new pillow-top beds and comforters. Common areas such as la Concha Beach Club, meeting spaces and lobby area were additionally updated during the two phases of reconstruction as a way for guests to vacation in a relaxed environment.
