Ex-Hacienda de Cortez

Built in the 16th Century by Hernan Cortes, The Hacienda of San Antonio Atlacomulco, now called the Ex-Hacienda de Cortes, was one of the most important sugar mills of the Colonial era. 

The structure was neglected during the  Mexican Revolution and changed hands through many different owners over the subsequent years. The property was acquired by Dr. Mario Gonzalez Ulloa in 1973, who then began the long process of restoration.

The Hacienda was converted into a Hotel in 1981. It is located at Plaza Kennedy 90, Col. Atlacomulco,  Jiutepec, a community adjacent to Cuernavaca.

The grounds and gardens are full of tropical flowering plants and many of the stone walls have a tangle of Amate roots growing out of them in convoluted patterns. Some of the salones hold pieces of colonial furniture and artifacts and the vaulted ceilings and thick stone arches of the restaurant/bar area are reminiscent of a Spanish wine cellar, cool and shadowy.
