阿卡普尔科近年来没有得到过最好的口碑。这个度假胜地曾经是华丽和迷人的避风港，20世纪50年代的鼎盛时期似乎只是遥远的记忆。这是在Grupo Haba-这两家酒店的老板在2008年宣布对老式的Acapulco露头酒店-Boca Chica酒店进行重大改革之前。这座住宅本月重新开放，现为墨西哥建筑师费尔南多·罗梅罗(Fernando Romero)所有。罗梅罗曾是雷姆·库哈斯(Rem Koolhaas)的一名门生，他以敏锐的现代风格将原酒店的旧世界魅力结合在一起。由弗里达·埃斯科贝多(Frida Escobedo)和若泽·罗哈斯(JoséRojas)领导的一个设计团队把这30间客房的苍白绿色和低调色调结合起来，辅之以少量老式家具、原始格子砖和水磨石地板-而酒店的六套房都有室外起居室和私人花园。这家餐厅由寿司大厨原田(Keisuke Harada)领导-来自纽约邦德街(Bond St.)的按摩室，还有美味的可可洗脸迪斯科(Coco Wash Diso)，博卡奇卡(Boca Chica)标志着它回归了闪闪发光的Acapulco标准。更重要的是，墨西哥艺术家佩德罗·雷耶斯(PedroReyes)设计了一个一次性的装置，以配合这个开放的地方-一个漂浮的岛屿，它将在酒店前面的海洋中浮出水面。这种甜甜圈形状的空心白色结构是为了模仿海洋中的鱼排而建造的，防晒霜前的沐浴者使用这种结构来捕捉光线。雷耶斯把这个岛描述为一个“未知的漂浮物体”，岛上有一个内部水池和一个几何形状的窗户，这些窗户会把光线投射在里面。

Mexican artist Pedro Reyes has designed a 'Floating Island' in conjunction with the opening of the hotel.

Designed to emulate 50s-style sunbathing rafts, the doughnut-shaped structure features an interior pool.

Featuring a latticework of geometric portholes, the floating island protects bathers from harmful UV rays, while creating an attractive, dappled lighting effect.
