An intimate place in the city and its history
The architecture of Casa Eduviges brings together a historic house in dialogue with a new contemporary building. The addition includes more rooms and shared areas linked by open corridors and lounges, so the hotel can be explored as one flowing whole.
The project was designed by architects Sergio Ortiz and Juan Antonio Ángel. Rather than imitate the existing house, the new buildings hold a respectful dialogue with the original property, balancing past and present.
The two styles together form a varied architectural ensemble, where different scales, materials and eras coexist within a single experience of staying.
Casa Eduviges belongs to one of the most representative periods of residential development in the Lafayette neighborhood, now Colonia Americana, in the early decades of the last century. Its architecture keeps the hallmarks of the era, French influences, Art Nouveau and Art Deco details, and a sensibility that favors natural light, generous space and a connection with the outdoors.
Like many of the great residences built in those years, the house was designed so its spaces could breathe. Constant light, open corridors and the flow between rooms remain essential to its character.
Tied to the legacy of the old Santa Eduviges woods and their landscape of water and greenery, Casa Eduviges preserves the architectural elegance of its time.
From its original stained glass to its spacious rooms, patios and corridors, every element was conceived to embrace light and the natural breeze. A restored historic house that connects its past with the pulse of Guadalajara today.
