Esperanza, an Award-Winning Auberge Resort, Unveils Renovated Hotel Rooms and Expanded Spa

Redesigned Casitas New Suites and Lavish New Penthouse Bring A New Level of Luxury to Cabo

CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico, Jan. 9, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Esperanza, Auberge Resorts' award-winning property in Cabo San Lucas, unveiled new guestrooms and suites following a five-month renovation. Showcasing a new, sophisticated look, the hotel features new interiors, enhanced suites and an expanded spa. Long recognized as the premier destination for discriminating travelers in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, the enhanced and refreshed Esperanza offers top-of-the-line accommodations, amenities and services, keeping it at the forefront of luxury.


Guestroom interiors, designed by Dallas-based Wilson & Associates, now feature a sophisticated Cabo-regional design that reflects the warm character of Mexico. Other resort enhancements include the addition of a glamorous penthouse with more than 2,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space offering panoramic views of the Sea of Cortez, and seven new spa treatment rooms, including an exclusive couples suite with private VIP access. Designed by SB Architects, the newly expanded spa also features a freestanding hairstyling, manicure and pedicure studio.


"Esperanza is dedicated to offering the best of Baja and our fresh new look showcases that and more," said Severino Gomez, Regional Vice President of Auberge Resorts and General Manager of Esperanza. "New and returning guests will see that no detail has been overlooked, from the expanded accommodations to the custom furnishings and extraordinary Latin American artwork."


Wilson & Associates, interior designers behind some of the world's leading resorts, added drama to Esperanza's warm interiors by creating a sophisticated look evoking a luxurious Mexican seaside estate. Clean lines, built-in beds, stone and polished plaster works are complemented by light-colored woods and accented with rich custom textiles in colors inspired by the Sea of Cortez.


"Our idea was to create interiors that act as frames for the stunning 180-degree ocean views," said Jim Rimelspach, lead designer at Wilson & Associates. "We wanted to blend Esperanza's rich sense of warmth and handcrafted character with a modern sensibility that's new to Cabo. We've done this by elevating the existing interior design with rich new furnishings to create a timeless look."


Sought after by celebrities, entertainment industry executives and avid travelers for its extraordinary service and privacy, the 57-room resort now offers 10 new luxury suites. The new one-bedroom penthouse, accessed by private elevator, features a spacious living room and two outdoor terraces, complete with private hot tub and oversized chaise for discreet sunbathing. Amenities include Pratesi Italian linens, a spacious bathroom with an oversized soaking tub and a state-of-the-art entertainment system with large plasma televisions. A collection of paintings, sculptures, and pottery from the country's leading artists are showcased throughout the suite. All suites include 24-hour butler service.


Every casita has spacious bathrooms, pocket doors that transform interiors into dramatic indoor-outdoor living space; flat-screen televisions; complimentary high-speed wireless Internet access; deep soaking tubs and showers built for two; crisp Italian linens; and iPod docking stations. Esperanza also creates signature in-room bath amenities made with natural essential oils, organic vegetable oils and pure fruit ingredients.


Recently named Travel + Leisure's #1 Spa in Latin America, The Spa at Esperanza is renowned for its coastal desert environment and treatments prepared by hand with indigenous botanicals and has doubled in size. The expansion includes seven new treatment rooms including a private couples suite with VIP access, large soaking pool, outdoor shower, and a plush oversized chaise for sunbathing. An expanded treatment menu includes Esperanza's signature Baja Lime-based treatments and a new Passion de la Noche program that allows couples to relax and reconnect in the spa after hours.
