If San Miguel de Allende were a canvas that had to be represented by a color palette, these tones would undoubtedly range from the greenish blue that represents its wide skies, to the terracotta, amber and orange that emulate our “colonial” architecture, as well as the shades of light at sunset for which we are outstanding.

This whole range of color and symbolism is transferred in a subtle and elegant way to Ark House, a space that prides itself on offering its guests an experience that elevates the senses regarding what it means to be in our lands.

With 22 delicately designed suites, featuring details such as hand-embroidered cushions, blown glass lamps and handcrafted furniture, the hospitality experience here is lived at a different tempo: that of calm.

More than just a simple description, this is felt at every moment you spend inside Casa Arca. The satisfaction of taking things slowly for maximum enjoyment, the joy of walking barefoot around the property, the pleasure of tasting exquisitely selected food from local suppliers; the lifestyle that implements luxury but never disappoints pretension. This is Casa Arca, which offers a surprise between the lines in each of its corners.

Starting with the outdoor pool and its indigo mosaics where you can enjoy the freshness of the water while contemplating the magnificent view of the buttress of the Municipal Palace.

Likewise, we are pleased to announce that they are about to open “Altar”, their terrace space where whoever visits us will have the opportunity to listen to original musicians and artists as well as enjoy a  Mexican-Mediterranean food menu designed by one of the most prominent Mexican Chefs internationally (whose identity will soon be revealed) and delight in a 360-degree view of the San Miguel Center, where it is possible to see almost all the churches in the area.

Altar will also be a wellness space open to the public where they will be able to expand their consciousness thanks to the therapeutic and spiritual experiences that will take place at its heights. 

Another of the pleasant surprises that the walls of Casa Arca already offer is, of course, its restaurant - of the same name - and which has become a 

A must for lovers of live music with great Son Jarocho, Jazz and Mexican music groups, live rhythms to dance, to sing, to move the soul... 

And for dessert?

Well, nothing more than authentic Italian Gelatos from Amorino, which are ideal for getting away from the heat thanks to their delicious selection of flavours. We love their beautiful presentations in the form of roses and the optimal freshness to combat the summer heat.

But there's more!

The art not only hangs on the walls of Casa Arca, but when you go down to the ground floor, you will find Twelve 18, its concept store with an exceptional selection of sculptures, art, ceramics and decorative pieces that will make you bring a little piece of San Miguel de Allende to your home. 

The fashion brands of the Concept Store have a design in which the use of the highest quality materials is noticeable as well as a creativity that will make you wear the most interesting garments at any social event.

We left the cultural history of Arca for last; since it is located in the heart of San Miguel (Calle Relox #18 Zona Centro), it is part of the buildings that made our city a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. From Casa Arca, it is easy to walk through the historical beauties of downtown San Miguel such as the exquisite Parroquia and the Allende Garden.

We hope that very soon your bare feet will be able to explore the magnificent L'ôtel Casa Arca project!
