Cantera 1910, a hotel where experiences are of another level

Published November 11, 2021 (Sp)

A new concept of boutique hotel that invites you to rediscover San Miguel de Allende.

Inaugurated on November 4, Cantera 1910 is the first of 5 projects in San Miguel de Allende that meet the premise of restoring properties with historical value to give them a new shine and offer the guest a unique experience to discover this beautiful city in Guanajuato in a different way.

Located in a privileged location in the first square of the city, 150 meters from the parish of San Miguel Arcángel, a few meters from the main garden of the city and very close to the best attractions of this destination, only when you enter this boutique hotel you begin to feel the attention 100 percent personalized, because the concierge service is 24 hours a day and literally solves all your wishes.

Arabic-inspired

11 exclusive suites and 3 of them with private terrace, are the perfect location for a romantic, business or simply leisure getaway.

Built on what was a typical 1840s structure, the hotel took almost 2 years to complete. The architect Marco Valle, responsible for the project, was influenced by the Arab style after a trip to Morocco, and so it was that he decided to print this character to Cantera 1910; the result: a welcoming water mirror in the central courtyard, high arches and small cobblestones on the floor that definitely transport to another atmosphere.

The materials used in this hotel are all from local communities, such as the golden fireplace that is the point of attraction in the common room, made by artisans from Santa Clara del Cobre.

The concierge and the experience menu

The hotel Concierge is there to make life easier for everyone staying here: coordinate arrival, schedule activities, book transportation for tours, any request for purchases or personalization of unique experiences that promise to remain in the memory forever.

A balloon trip, a mezcal tasting or private art lessons, are some of the experiences that make the difference between Cantera 1910 and the others; a concept in which an expert in the subject becomes the guest’s guide.

A blind dinner, where based on the preferences of the guests the Chef is in charge of surprising them, is part of the offer of the gastronomic menu of Cantera 1910; and another alternative is a dinner or private lunch with pairing, where starting with a cocktail and tasting different wines with each dish, an expert explains in great detail the reason for the pairing according to the dish.

The oenological option offers a mezcal tasting for example, or a visit to the vineyards of the region where in addition to tasting different wines, guests will learn the differences between them, their elaboration process and steps to taste it and enjoy it to the fullest.

But if the outdoors are the choice, Cantera 1910 offers plans such as: traveling by balloon, horseback riding through ecological reserves, zip lining or an ATV tour of ecological reserves in the region.

Finally, art is something that is present throughout San Miguel de Allende and could not be missing in the experiences of Cantera 1910. A private painting class that can be from the classic landscape or modern using different techniques or one of sculpture making pieces of ceramic or clay, will make the guest feel like a true apprentice by the hand of recognized artists.

The menu and mixology, of international level

Orginario de Coahuilal, Chef Arody Benanssi Mendoza was in charge of developing the menu of international food and Mexican fusion of Cantera 1910 and the regio Mixologist Alejandro Ponce is responsible for creating the drinks ranging from the classic to the most spectacular as “THE heart of your ex”
