WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

The Hotel Bo feels like a breath of fresh air, a sleek, contemporary hotel amidst San Cristobal’s colonial treasures. The striking architecture evokes a modern re-working of Chiapas’ rich culture, history and landscapes and above all pays homage to the four essential elements of water, fire, earth and air. Either way, it works. The open-air plan and straight lines give a sense of space and time while the vibrant colours evoke the Maya yet are tempered by warm local woods. The rooms are modern and spacious with a rich colour palette of browns and creams offset by a splash of contemporary colour. “Restaurante Lum” spills onto an open-air deck and specialise in traditional Mexican flavours accompanied by carefully selected wines (and tequila!). Additional facilities include a library, business centre and small gym as well as a linear lap-pool. The Hotel Bo is not to everyone’s taste and a world away from the old world charm of San Cristobal yet the contemporary design still feels distinctly Mexican. In addition, the rooms are among the most modern and comfortable in the area and would particularly appeal to honeymooners.
