A brutalist masterpiece meets a 19th-century colonial heritage structure

Original colonial details are bravely counterbalanced by our hotel’s stunning copper top, producing a brutalist/Old World hybrid that invokes the past yet inexorably pulls one into the future. The base of Elena de Cobre survived two major floods, presenting a rare entrée into a mostly lost world.
