Six years that were
worth every single one.
The question that changed everything
After fifteen years building a technology company, the time came to sell it. And with that freedom came the hardest question. Francia and I thought — what if we build a boutique hotel? Because tourism is one of the few businesses where everyone arrives with the same goal: to have a good time.
Finding the mansion
Not just any space would do. We wanted history, character, soul. We found it on Calle 64 in the Historic Center: a mansion with clay floors over a hundred years old, walls that tell stories, and a structure that asked to be respected, not demolished.
The construction we survived
Construction, dust, bureaucracy, stoppages, stress, decisions, second-guessing, disagreements, and sleepless nights. This dream survived all of that — and us. Every detail was chosen with love, with sweat, and sometimes with tears. The tile floors, the light, the stone, the furniture, the beer. Nothing was placed just because.
Alive and glowing
Today, this hotel exists. Alive and glowing. And every guest who walks through the door inhabits it and completes it in a way we never could alone. Because a hotel is not complete until someone sleeps in it, breathes it, and brings it to life.
