PB hotel design editorial

Mexico's first B-Corporation-certified hotel arrived at Puerto Los Cabos marina in 2012 with an identity built around creative process as much as hospitality. Hotel El Ganzo, designed by Pablo Sanchez-Navarro, is set against the working marina of San José del Cabo, its low whitewashed modernist volumes reading from the water as something between a Mediterranean village and a Baja art institution. The exterior's most arresting detail is a large-scale mural spread across the roofline — a signal of the artist-in-residence program that treats every wall, corridor, and surface as an evolving canvas. Beneath that, the building's 72 rooms and suites are finished in poured concrete floors and interiors assembled from recycled materials, giving the whole property an industrial warmth that feels genuinely earned. The rooms divide between two moods: some keep to a spare, coastal simplicity — pale linen, natural pine bed frames, large-format stone tile floors, balconies framing the marina and Sea of Cortez — while others carry vivid hand-painted murals sweeping across walls and ceilings, bathtubs set into timber surrounds bringing a studio-like intimacy to the space. The waterfront restaurant terrace uses woven-rope seating, reclaimed timber tables, and a reed-and-dark-timber pergola ceiling that dapples afternoon light across the deck. Up top, an infinity pool traces the full length of the roofline, the marina below and the Pacific horizon ahead. The underground recording studio, open to visiting musicians, completes El Ganzo's argument that a hotel can be a genuinely productive creative environment.

"Just home from a 4 night stay at El Ganzo, and the August heat in Cabo no joke. We had a great stay at El Ganzo. Initially we were in a King room, and after some noise from the rooftop entertainment the first night, the manager upgraded us to an incredible suite. The suite was beautiful, and very quiet! We enjoyed the pool and the beach club and especially massages with Claudia and Vanessa."
