Nestled high above the narrow cobblestone streets of Puerto Vallarta, one of the world’s most elegant and romantic boutique luxury hotel experiences awaits. Hacienda San Angel surrounds its visitors with the genteel charm of Mexican Colonial architecture and turn-of-thecentury furnishings. Perched on a hilltop above the renowned Guadalupe Church, guests peer through the bell tower to watch migrating whales glide by in winter. Intimate and sophisticated, Hacienda San Angel’s twelve gloriously romantic suites offer breathtaking views of the worldfamous Banderas Bay to the west, the Sierra Madre mountain range to the east and the terra cotta rooftops of the charming city all around. Gardens lush with fragrant flowers, tropical foliage and trickling fountains meander through this unique setting. Three pools, a roof-top fine dining restaurant, and nightly cocktail hours only add to the deluxe escape. Here, where the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains embrace the azure waters of Banderas Bay, vacationers can revel in a beguiling blend of colonial charm, outdoor activities and superb Puerto Vallarta accommodations unparalleled on the fabled Mexican Riviera. A past filled with glamour and romance has led to a present brimming with intimate sophistication at Hacienda San Angel. The late Richard Burton purchased the Hacienda’s main villa as a Valentine’s Day gift for his wife, Susan in 1977, after falling in love with Puerto Vallarta as he filmed John Huston’s The Night of the Iguana there in the mid 1960’s. The cult classic film put Puerto Vallarta on the map as a favorite vacation spot for the international glitterati, including Burton’s ex, Elizabeth Taylor, who owned a house mere blocks away from Susan’s. The Burton’s aptly named their home, Casa Bur-Sus. In 1990, entrepreneur Janice Chatterton purchased Casa Bur-Sus from Susan Burton to use as a vacation home. Following the loss of her son, Chatterton poured her grief into nurturing her love for antiques and rescuing animals. Through renovation, purchases of surrounding villas and innovation, Casa Bur’Sus evolved into Casa San Angel then finally Hacienda San Angel in 2003. Chatterton has been continually recognized for the hotel’s exquisite design as well as for the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Hacienda San Angel Gourmet, which was added to the property in 2006. After years of dining out and seeking the enjoyment of Mariachi music, Chatterton decided to create her own restaurant where she could have her own Mariachi music. Chatterton was particular in her tastes and this was a way to ensure having pleasures of dining and music to meet those tastes.
