In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I’m sharing one of my favorite houses in Mexico — El Mirador House. Located in Valle de Bravo, a popular vacation spot just two hours southwest of Mexico City, El Mirador is a 5,000 square foot home by CC Arquitectos.

unnamed-8The Palihouse is a boutique hotel in Santa Monica, that some are calling, “The Chateau Marmount by the sea”.  It has great style, a lovely garden, a bocce court and is just minutes from the beach. Plus, you’re in a wonderful residential neighborhood (not a hotel zone) and only several blocks from 3rd Street Promenade and shopping on Montana Ave.

My new travel obsession, Jnane Tamsna in Morocco. A gorgeous hotel just 15 minutes from Marrakech. It’s the creation of Meryanne Loum-Martin with the help of her ethnobotanist husband, Gary Martin.

In this sense Jnane is about respect for natural materials, traditions, local communities and the environment.” One can relax by the pool, take a cooking class with hotel chef, Bahija or wander the spice markets of Marrakech. It sounds like an amazing experience!
