Uraján de Luna Hotel Boutique & Spa
Nombre de Dios, Durango, Mexico · Independent · Accessible Luxury
The skull on the Cuero Viejo bottle is Uraján de Luna, the indigenous leader regional tellings credit with winning back the water for Nombre de Dios. The hotel stands on that mezcal ranch, minutes from Durango's first Pueblo Mágico, where cenizo agave is cooked underground and crushed with a tahona. The house itself is adults only: 19 rooms, each named for an agave, plus two villas, a temazcal, and the Mezcalli spa's mezcal bath. Families go to the Cuero Viejo cabins. La Estancia cuts the steak.

About Uraján de Luna Hotel Boutique & Spa
- Uraján de Luna is the indigenous figure on the Cuero Viejo label, credited in Durango tellings with recovering the water for Nombre de Dios.

- Mezcalli spa builds a treatment around a mezcal bath, agave mask, and clay scrub, with a temazcal on the grounds.

History
Uraján de Luna Hotel Boutique & Spa is built on the historic Cuero Viejo agave ranch in Durango's first "Pueblo Mágico," Nombre de Dios. The property is deeply rooted in local mezcal tradition, featuring an on-site vinata (distillery) that produces the award-winning Cuero Viejo brand. Its name honors Uraján de Luna, an indigenous leader who championed local rights during the Spanish Conquest.
