Casa Fayette

"Located in Guadalajara’s up-and-coming Lafayette arts district, the quirky Casa Fayette reflects the changing face of the area by blending the traditional with the trendy. The entire hotel is a study in contrasts, from its all-white 1940s Art Deco facade to its eclectic, ultramodern touches: think rooms lined with brightly colored glass panels, edgy, industrial light fixtures, and space-efficient, multifunctional furniture. The hotel’s restaurant is also charmingly offbeat, helmed by New York chef Trevor de la Presle—formerly mentored by Daniel Boulud—and specializing in American comfort food made using Mexican ingredients. Throw in a retro-inspired bar and a sprawling terrace with the city’s best sunset views, and Casa Fayette may just be Mexico’s hippest new hotel. Editor's Pick: Hot List 2016"
