Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The rooms
Doors open directly onto wrap-around verandas, where wooden rocking chairs look out across the courtyard.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers line the circular swimming pool, surrounded by white fringed umbrellas and two-story verandas.
Restaurant
Two Mules Cantina
The cantina serves scratch Tex-Mex under slatted timber ceilings, opening onto the courtyard with live music on weekends.
At the table
Salt Tequila Bar sits behind pink diamond lattice doors, pouring curated tequila flights and shaken margaritas.
How it began
The design takes inspiration from classic Spaghetti Westerns, right down to a circular courtyard pool modeled on Clint Eastwood films.
