Xinalani earns top 'Three Key' rating, one of only three hotels
in Mexico to achieve this
honor
NEW
YORK, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The
Michelin Guide has recognized four of Puerto Vallarta's luxury and boutique hotels
in its inaugural Michelin Key selection, a new international
benchmark for excellence in hospitality. Xinalani was awarded the
coveted Three Key distinction, placing it among an elite group of
just three hotels in Mexico to
receive the top rating, underscoring its leadership in sustainable
luxury travel. BellView Boutique Hotel, Casa Kimberly and Hacienda
San Angel each received the One Key distinction, further cementing
Puerto Vallarta's reputation for
blending cultural heritage, exceptional service and distinctive
design—hallmarks of the region's hospitality.
The Michelin Key system, the latest addition to the prestigious
Guide's accolades, highlights properties offering unparalleled
guest experiences that go beyond amenities. Hotels are rigorously
evaluated across five key areas: architecture and interior design,
quality and consistency of service, overall personality and
character, value for the price and a significant contribution to
the guest experience in a particular setting. Much like
Michelin Stars for restaurants, the
three-tier key system—with Three Keys representing the highest
honor—celebrates the world's finest hotels.
Michelin Key Recipients in Puerto
Vallarta:
Xinalani: A World-Class Eco-Luxury Retreat
Tucked away on the secluded Quimixto Beach and accessible only
by boat, Xinalani offers an exclusive eco-luxury escape. Renowned
as a world-class yoga retreat, the property features breathtaking
ocean views from every room and standalone private casitas, many
perched high in the mountains. The open-air design, with
palm-thatched roofs, combines natural serenity with luxurious
touches such as private plunge pools, gourmet healthy meals and
access to a private beach. Beyond daily yoga and meditation
sessions, guests can enjoy cooking classes, salsa dancing, massages
and spa treatments. For those seeking adventure, eco-experiences
like jungle hikes, whale watching and surfing await, all set
against the stunning backdrop of the Pacific coast.
BellView Boutique Hotel: A Timeless Gem in the Heart of
Puerto Vallarta
Located in the historic "Gringo Gulch" neighborhood, just behind
the iconic Church of Our Lady of Guadalupe, BellView Boutique Hotel melds
antique charm with intimate luxury. With only seven rooms and
suites, the hotel exudes historical elegance, featuring vintage
furnishings that evoke a bygone era while offering modern comforts.
Its elevated location provides the best view of the famous crown
atop the Guadalupe Church, backdropped by Banderas Bay, with unforgettable sunsets that
guests can enjoy from La Cappella, the open-air restaurant serving
contemporary Italian cuisine. Ideally positioned for exploring
Puerto Vallarta's authentic
culture, BellView stands apart from the modern hotel zone, offering
a quiet escape steps from the center of town.
Casa Kimberly: A Historic Icon of Romance and Elegance
Once the cherished homes of Hollywood legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Casa Kimberly is a captivating
blend of history, romance and luxury. Its nine regal suites,
including the grand Elizabeth Taylor Suite—her former quarters—are
uniquely designed, combining modern amenities with traditional
style. Most suites offer panoramic views of Banderas Bay, the
Sierra Madre Mountains and the vibrant, red-roofed cityscape. The
iconic "Puente del Amor" (Bridge of
Love), built by Burton in 1964 as a birthday gift to Taylor, still
stands as a symbol of their legendary love story, connecting the
two properties. Meticulously renovated in 2010, Casa Kimberly
features indulgent touches such as marble pillars, plunge pools and
Jacuzzis, while preserving its rich history with restored antiques
and hand-painted tiles. Guests can enjoy fine dining at The Iguana
Restaurant, with its contemporary Mexican menu and adjacent tequila
bar, or unwind with personalized treatments at the on-site spa.
Hacienda San Angel: A Luxurious
Hideaway of Timeless Sophistication
Perched on the hillside overlooking Banderas Bay, Hacienda San Angel offers a
boutique experience defined by luxury and bespoke service. Twelve
beautifully appointed suites, including the lavish San Miguel
Presidential Suite, showcase hand-carved antique furnishings,
private terraces and boundless views of the bay and Sierra Madre
Mountains. Guests enjoy tailored experiences with personalized
concierge services and curated in-room dining, while lush gardens,
romantic courtyards and heated rooftop pools provide havens of
relaxation. The hotel's gourmet restaurant offers an exclusive
dining experience with stunning coastal vistas.
