"Set across the malecón on the Sea of Cortez in La Paz, this conversion of a 1910 mission-style residence includes a 34,100-square-foot addition housing 32 rooms and a rooftop bar. Reimagined by Max von Werz Arquitectos with interiors by Jaune Architecture, the hotel retains original terrazzo floors and exposed wood beams and favors natural heating and cooling—shade and strategic cross-ventilation—to minimize air-conditioning, while furnishings and earthenware are sourced from within Mexico." - Jennifer Flowers
