Architecture Mario Plasencia

Elena De Cobre Architecture

Architecture Mario Plasencia

Housed in one of the oldest restored casonas (mansions) in the historic heart of León, the hotel retains...

the 19th-century Mexican colonial architectural style as the base upon which to build a “floating” copper structure. Here, new technologies, such as hydraulic floors, augment ancient touches, like the Japanese shou sugi ban technique used to waterproof wood for outdoors.

Interior design Mario Plasencia

At the heart of the property is a colonial patio, which served as the design inspiration for the hotel.

Original mosaic floors and wooden beams are contrasted by clean volumes and modern materials.

Elena De Cobre The Originals
Elena De Cobre Theme Box 01 History

History Highlighting the past

Preserved by the National Institute of Anthropology and History, the 19th-century casona retains many original elements.

The patio—with its wooden and clay pergola, quarry stone details, and framed doors and windows—gives the hotel an Old World charm.

Food & Drink

Elena De Cobre Theme Box 02 Food And Drink (1)

Luciérnaga Food, drink, tradition

A passion for authentic flavors and ingredients

In an effort to truly capture the authentic, the chef and his team use family recipes and techniques passed down from generation to generation. Here, a deep expertise in crafting exquisite traditional Mexican dishes means a diverse range of flavors and spices. The hotel’s new Salón Oliva, meanwhile, offers premium spirits and imported cigars—the perfect place for guests to pair both experiences.

Wellness

Outdoor pool Take a dip

Relax and feel restored on an old-world patio.

Elena de Cobre’s wooden and clay pergola and patio area offer a soothing refuge from the Mexican sun, with an outdoor pool that’s perfect for a refreshing dip. A whirlpool is on hand for longer soaks.

A master of amalgamation, Elena de Cobre’s eclectic playlist is a genre-bender, looking to the past and ahead with a singular sense of cool.
