La Purificadora is located in the historic centre of Puebla, a colonial city on the road between Mexico City and Oaxa- ca and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Innovative Mexican hotelier Carlos Couturier?s latest project is an inland wonder, a former 19th-century water-purifying centre next to the Iglesia de San Francisco in the colonial city of Puebla.

Purity is the guiding principle of the hotel?s design as executed by renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta: black & white are the only colours, bringing out the subtleties of the materials used. This minimalism shouldn?t be confused with lack of luxury: a roof terrace and 30-metre pool provide ample recreational opportunity. La Purificadora offers spectacular views of the city, and presents La Puebla as the ultimate gem to be discovered.
