Marigolds and sweet breads mark Day of the Dead in Mexico

"On the candlelit walkway that leads up to its main manor house, the hotel will mount a dramatic three-tiered ofrenda designed by AGO PROJECTS and overflowing with cempasúchiles sculpted by floral designers FDK Florals; traditional touches—copal incense, sugar skulls, food offerings and photographs honoring guests' deceased loved ones—complete the installation. The ofrenda will be unveiled on November 1 with cocktails and live music as part of the hotel's inaugural Fiesta de Todos los Santos weekend, which artistic director Juan Carlos Gutiérrez describes as a soulful yet joyful yearly tradition showcasing Mexican folklore through rituals, design and gastronomy." - David Shortell
