Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. From October 5, 2001 exactly one year after the opening of Mexico City’s HABITA, DESEO Hotel + Lounge welcomes international guests to the Mexican Caribbean.

Following in HABITA’s footsteps, DESEO Hotel + Lounge heads to the beach, since its creators decided to open a new venture in Playa del Carmen. Located in the Mexican Caribbean, only 35 minutes south of Cancun on the Maya Riviera, Playa has recently become the favourite playground of young urbanities of all latitudes. Hip youngsters who seek a cool atmosphere, ideal weather, none of the formality of other destinations or the massive tourism of neighbouring beaches will embrace DESEO [ Hotel + Lounge ] as the ultimate environment.

DESEO Hotel + Lounge is the most anticipated addition of Design Hotels, since it emphasizes contemporary design, the natural elements of the Yucatan Peninsula, and unique style. Everything has been assertively by the young Mexican architects of Central de Arquitectura, Ca.

The founders of the ultrahip Mexican hotels CONDESAdf and Habita have now created Hotel Azucar, named for the sugar cane grown in the Gulf state of Veracruz, where their latest hideaway is located. The sweet brainchild of hotelier Carlos Couturier, the resort focuses on effortless elegance and a fusion with nature. Step in and step back in time to a place of breathtaking natural beauty as you saunter through the 20 low-lying whitewashed palapas, (bungalows) each topped with a thatched roof and having a private, intimate terrace overlooking the stunning Gulf of Mexico. Just one look at the blues of sky and sea, and guests are overcome by an atmosphere that is airy, breezy and easy.

Shaped by curved walls, the spare white-on-white interiors are simple to the extreme, but possess a kind of authentic style that both hearkens to the past and fulfils the modern traveller’s style demands. “I see my hotel as an ecological, organic project. It is a design hotel yet it is somehow anti-design. I wanted to recuperate a lifestyle gone by – that of my grandparents – and give guests the pleasures of simple things,” says Couturier, mentioning that the chairs found in each bungalow are reproductions of those his grandparents – who came to Veracruz from France in the 1930s to grow vanilla – had in their ranch.
