History
The Hacienda de San Antonio sits at the foot of the Volcan de Colima in the Mexican state of Colima. Its principal buildings were completed in 1890 by German immigrant Arnoldo Vogel and his wife Clotilde Quevedo as the Hacienda de Santa Cruz, a working coffee estate producing Arabica beans; an aqueduct was added in 1904 and the estate was renamed Hacienda de San Antonio around 1913 when its chapel was built.
In the late 1970s the Bolivian tin magnate Antenor Patino acquired the property and commissioned architect Mauricio Romano for a lengthy restoration. In 1980 it passed to the Anglo-French financier Sir James Goldsmith, whose family transformed it into an exclusive private retreat and later a luxury hotel, working with French decorator Robert Couturier and family members Alix Marcaccini and Armand Aubery. Today it operates as an independent luxury estate hotel of around 25 suites, prized for its Italianate architecture, gardens and volcano setting.
