One of Pablo Escobar's former mansions has been transformed into a luxury hotel where you can stay for $515 for night
The house is surrounded by lush rain forest. And with plenty of outside space, it's also a popular place to host weddings and parties. A spokesperson for the hotel said that the main event is New Year's Eve. Last year, owner Lio Malca hosted more than a thousand people.
The hotel has two swimming pools: one outside and another indoor, which is connected to the outside pool by a staircase.
There are plenty of places to relax.
The hotel leads out onto a long stretch of beach.
There are also two bars in the hotel, one of which is inspired by artist Keith Haring.
The hotel's main restaurant, Philosophy, serves Mexican food with a contemporary European twist. The manager is Italian, and the head chef hails from Catalonia in Spain.
Malca's private collection of art is scattered around the hotel.
The rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the beach and the garden behind. Some also have balconies.
Rooms range from $515 a night for a junior suite to $840 for the master suite.
The rooms have king-sized beds and ensuite bathrooms.
After a series of renovations, it now has a total of 42 suites.
When the hotel first opened, it had eight rooms.
It's on the east coast of Mexico, outside Tulum.
It was abandoned after he died in 1993 and subsequently bought by New York art dealer Lio Malca in 2012.
Casa Malca was formerly owned by notorious drug baron Pablo Escobar.
