An unforgettable moment, in a memorable place

The Hacienda de Temixco, founded in the 16th century by Martín Cortés—son of Hernán Cortés—was established in the Marquisate of the Valley of Oaxaca with the mission of taking advantage of the abundant natural resources. It soon established itself as a large-scale sugar mill, also dedicated to cattle raising and the extraction of fine woods that traversed throughout New Spain. During the War of Independence, it emerged as one of the last royalist strongholds. During the Mexican Revolution, its strategic location led to its being contested by the Zapatistas and the Federalists, leaving it in ruins. During World War II, it was converted into a concentration camp for displaced Japanese citizens, before being reinvented as one of the states most important rice mills after the conflict. Today, the former hacienda retains its colonial charm: its late 16th-century chapel, gardens that inspire serenity, and rooms that honor the past. Its spaces, elevated by style and sophistication, host high-level events in an environment that unites history and distinction.
