Boca Chica opens in Acapulco, Mexico

The newest project from Grupo HABITA and architect Fernando Romero opened its doors on 15 March. The 36-room striking building was formerly the famous Hotel Boca Chica, located in Acapulco, the 1950’s playground of the Hollywood elite. Carlos Couturier and brothers Rafael, Moises and Jaime Micha, founders of Grupo HABITA, have lovingly restored the 1950s interior, creating a hotel with vintage charm and a chic contemporary design.

Just steps from an idyllic cove in Acapulco the hotel is ideal for anyone looking to have a little fun Acapulco style. Complete with an in-house disco and pool terrace the hotel offers round-the-clock service and a laid back ambience. Ground floor rooms come with landscaped gardens whilst other rooms come with balconies and open air terraces with hammocks.

Couturier from Grupo HABITA says: “Acapulco is back and sexier than ever! For the well travelled crowd, Acapulco is the equivalent of mixing together Tel Aviv, Rio, Miami and Punta del Este in one single destination. The Boca Chica already has a vibrant history and so our re-invention of it will play up Acapulco’s 1950s flair. It is not only about creating trends – it’s about building a hotel that can outlive a generation.”

The hotel’s developer and owner Architect Fernando Romero, a pre-eminent Mexican architect, had a vision to create a hotel with 30 spacious rooms and 6 suites with original features and furniture from the 1950s building.

The elegant and vibrant rooms come with private terraces and hammocks. Some of the rooms lead into private gardens and three of the suites have separate living rooms. There are also organic and fair-trade Dr. Bronner Magic Soaps, free wireless Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service for all round indulgence.

Boca Chica is located in an old yacht club neighborhood in Acapulco away from the high-rise hotels on a small peninsula adjacent to Caletilla beach. The hotel is close to quiet and clean waters ideal for scuba diving, snorkeling or just swimming. It is situated just half an hour flight from Mexico City.
