Taller de Arquitectura X Designs Casona Sforza Hotel in Puerto Escondido<\/h1>\n\n\n

Even before opening its doors to guests this winter, Casona Sforza was already onto its second act. The 11-suite beachfront hotel in Puerto Escondido, on Mexico\u2019s Pacific coast, was originally com\u00admissioned by Ezequiel Ayarza Sforza as a private beach house. But midway through conceiving the project with Mexico City architect and Taller de Arquitectura X<\/a> founder Alberto Kalach, Ayarza Sforza switched gears. His casa became the eco-luxe Casona bearing his name. \u201cIt just made more sense as a hotel than a house,\u201d the Argentina-born entrepreneur begins. \u201cIt\u2019s such a special place\u2014I realized it should be shared with others.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

It\u2019s not the first time Ayarza Sforza has had a change of heart like that. He transformed what was originally meant to be a vacation home on a remote Caribbean beach near Tulum into a small boutique property known as Casa Bautista. That experience served Ayarza Sforza well in learning about service and the hospitality trade. \u201cI always wanted to have a hotel,\u201d he enthuses. <\/p>\n\n\n
