The careful restoration of this iconic structure was the dedicated and meticulous work of local architect João Boto Caeiro, rooted in principles of sustainability and the conservation of traditional skills. The vaulted ceilings, central staircase and arched doorways are all expressions of both old-world and vernacular techniques upheld by master craftsmen of Oaxaca.

An overall minimalist aesthetic is offset by a playful modernity with artwork placed throughout the hotel, showcasing both local and international talent. Amongst those on permanent display are world renowned Oaxacan photographer Alberto Ibañez, Canadian painter & sculptor Carlito Dalceggio, Oaxacan multimedia plastic artist Dr. Lakra and Portuguese sculptor Fulvio Capurso.
