Design Inspiration from Hotel California in Todos Santos, Mexico

Hotel California back patio picture I visited the Hotel California in Todos Santos, Mexico, in August during the trip that was arranged by the Mexican Tourism Board and Ogilvy. It was my first trip to Mexico, and fell in love with the country, and among others this little town, hotel and the vivid colors in Mexican interior design. Hotel California is in a small town called Todos Santos, which has authentic colonial architecture and cobblestone streets and it is a perfect spot for some Mexican design inspiration. Hotel California, with its famous name from the Eagles song was already founded in 1947, and you could spot many of the design elements already from that era.

The vivid color palette made me feel alive and inspired, and I came home wanting to redo my entire home. Hope these pictures inspire you to think outside the box in your home, and bring some color to your fall home. bedroom in Hotel California, Mexican style bedroom rustic Mexican lamp, Mexican decorating colors colorful window I loved the mix of colors at Hotel California.

  1. I love the way you were able to capture the bedroom decor and bed as well as the Mexican floor tiles! you captured the same thing with the exterior room door and floor. You got SO many great shots. I love them. What a fun day that was ;-)

  2. Wow, the mixture of all those vibrant colors along with the rustic feel are surprisingly relaxing. Looks like a fabulous place.
