La Purificadora Boutique Hotel is located in the oldest part of the historic center of Puebla, Mexico.  Designed by Legorreta + Legorreta, the hotel occupies the remains of 1844 stone-walled factory and successfully blends 19th century architecture with modern design. The Boutique Hotel has colonial heritage and is registered as historical patrimony, which must be respected as part of the new design project.

The rooftop terrace bar has become the latest hotspot in Puebla and buzzes till the early hours with a young, stylish crowd. The open-to-the-sky lobby area with a sweeping staircase offers spectacular views of the city. Other highlights include a 30-meter elevated glass-walled swimming pool and a restaurant with an outdoor patio.
 

The 26 rooms, identified by letters of the alphabet, are not huge but the expansive floor-to-ceiling window or balcony door and transparent closets lend a feeling of light and space. The minimalist design blends glass, dark stone and heavy wood features, adding splashes of purple for a more playful feel.

The materials used are: stone from the original construction, old wood that contrast with the contemporary materials such as glass and steel incorporated in to the new design, as well as specially designed floor tiles for the bedrooms floors and onyx in the restrooms. Bottles and glass fragments are also integrated in the hotel’s graphic design.
