La
Quinta Luna is situated in the oldest living city of the American Continent,
Cholula, in the outskirts of Puebla, approximately 70 miles east from Mexico
City. The hotel is located in the quarter of Santa María Xixitla, which is part
of the city of Cholula since the prehispanic period. La Quinta Luna was found in
a seventeenth century mansion, which was completely restored in 1996-1998 by the
Cárdenas González de Cossío family, who still lives in it and manages the hotel.
The house is a catalogued historic
building which fully preserves its original structure. During colonial times,
the house probably hosted Don Juan de León y Mendoza, a descendent of the
Prehispanic indigenous nobility and one of the most important chiefs of the
earlier eighteenth century.
Today, there is an exquisite
contrast between classical colonial arquitecture which is represented by the
building, and contemporary Mexican art which dresses its walls with colour and
form.
La
Quinta Luna includes seven luxurious rooms, within thick walls and tall-beamed
ceilings. All rooms are unique and face the central patio, where the garden and
fountain are placed.
Each room has the following services : TV, DVD,
Internet, Hairdryer, Bath robe, Slippers, Minibar, Coffee service, Safety box,
Free local phone calls.
The lobby and the restaurant are placed where the
Old Chapel was originally situated. Besides presenting the most outstanding art
pieces, there is a carved stone of colonial origin and the most antique and
original wooden ceiling, in which a beam is dated on the 19th of April, 1736.
The hotel offers breakfast, lunch and dinner,
mainly for the guests of the hotel. The menu offers Mexican dishes, from
traditional onto nouvelle recipes with traditional ingredients. It also includes
international cuisine dishes. Meals may be served in the restaurant, the patio
or in your room.
