Description (provided by Virtuoso)

In a tranquil hilltop setting at the south side of Morelia, Villa Montaña is just 10 minutes from the downtown historic center and 35 minutes from the city’s international airport (MLM). Morelia, capital of Michoacan State, is a 4½-century-old jewel known as the Aristocrat of Colonial Cities and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Cultural Site. Located in the highlands of central Mexico, Morelia is midway between Mexico City (224 miles) and Guadalajara (198 miles) via superhighway.Michoacan is a multi-faceted region of ancient legacies and living folk art of the Purépecha (also known as Tarascan) culture replete with pre-Hispanic archeological sites that contrast with regal colonial architecture. The state is rich in agriculture and wondrous nature ranging from mountain forests to tropical Pacific seacoast.
Spread over four secluded acres in the Santa Maria Hills, Villa Montaña has a spectacular view of Morelia and its baroque cathedral below. Cottage-style rooms and suites intermingle amid gardens and multilevel pathways to form an exclusive “mini-village”. Every facade, terrace, patio and garden has an intricate blend of artistic sculptures, pottery, masonry and ceramics. A major remodeling has enhanced the dining and meeting areas. The reception area and lobby are remarkably spacious with a concierge desk and chairs for personalized check-in. Superb pieces of art and antiques from Mexico and Europe have been added to the already vast collection that decorates every corner of the property.
Thirty-six units include: 13 standard rooms, 12 junior suites, 10 master suites (one and two-bedroom), and the regal presidential suite. Each is a distinct showplace of interior design blending Mexican colonial antiques and colorful handicrafts for which Michoacan is famous. They all have at least one fireplace, each a work of art in itself, and no two are alike. Rooms have direct-dial telephone, satellite television, AM/FM clock radio, safety deposit box, and large closets – some are even walk-ins! Spacious painted-tile bathrooms have shower-tub, hair dryer and extension telephone. Amenities include nightly turn-down, fine toiletries, terry robes, slippers.
Our celebrated Mexican chef has garnered culinary fame in Mexico. His vibrant new menu is a tasteful showcase of creative international cuisine and traditional Mexican specialties with a contemporary touch. A pianist plays romantic music during dinner, and the restaurant’s fireplace and artistic décor add to the casual elegant atmosphere. The airy terrace bar-restaurant area, with a panoramic view of Morelia, is delightful for lunch, cocktails and socializing. Sunday breakfast features an elaborate Mexican buffet of Michoacan delicacies.Special vegetarian and other dietary meals are available upon request. Room service in your suite or on your terrace is a pleasant option.
The hotel's gift shop is replete with carefully selected art, crafts, antiques and exquisite souvenirs. A full-service business center is available at no charge for the first hour. A newly constructed full-service SPA is on the hotel’s hillside and features the remarkable pre-Hispanic Kinich method and product line featured in the most exquisite spas in Mexico as well as Europe.The hotel also features a well-equipped gymnasium with cardio equipment; heated swimming pool; and on-premise tennis court. Meeting and special events facilities:luxurious private meeting rooms and a separate large salon seat from 16 to 160. Memorable weddings, banquets and special celebrations are arranged.
