Grand Oa·aca

The hotel is located in Valles Centrales a region of the state of Oaxaca, where the capital is located: Oaxaca de Juárez, also known as "The Capital of Culture".

Grand Fiesta Americana was born as a tribute to Oaxaca, to highlight the wealth of the state. Pre-Hispanic monuments such as Monte Albán and Mitla, the Santo Domingo Cultural Center, as well as its rich character, its indigenous soul and its vibrant crafts were a source of inspiration to achieve the spatial and architectural design of the hotel areas.

A project of 144 rooms distributed over 4 stories, 2 of these planted below the street level was developed. Its architecture responds to the need to create interior gardens that allow the ventilation and natural lighting of each space, reinterpreting the traditional central courtyards of Mexican colonial architecture.

With the interest of giving the user the possibility to explore the historical, artistic and cultural richness offered by Oaxaca within the facilities, the hotel divides its spaces and allocates them to representative villages or archaeological areas.

The hotel, through its volumes, aims to allude to Oaxacan colonial architecture by fusing traditional materiality with contemporary techniques and elements. Yellow Quarry, Green Quarry and other natural stones from the southwestern region of the country were used to exalt the state's biodiversity. Porcelains, and ceramics of the highest quality were also used to assimilate stone materials, coming from the area.
