 The only Mexico City hotel established in an old colonial building , dating back to 1620. The Hotel de Cortes is an oasis of relaxation in the middle of one of the largest cities in the world .
Formerly monk's guest lodgings, the current look of the hotel is the result of a remodelling carried out by the Augustine Friars, which was finished in 1780.
The hotel was born in 1943 and modern installations and renovations were carried out in 2005 to create a hotel suitable for the demands of today's travellers .
The hotel's public areas are currently an authentic art gallery, with original paintings from the colonial period, 18th century sculptures and 19th century pieces .It is believed that the building was constructed at the beginning of the 17th century and a few years later the order of Saint Augustine converted it into one of the first hospices in the Americas, where the order's monks were housed before embarking on missions to bring Christianity to the Philippines.
In 1780, as indicated on hotel's facade, the building was remodeled and baptized as the Hotel of Santo Tomas de Villanueva. Since then, the building has proudly stood through each and every key moment that has marked the history of city.
