Around the year 2002, the owners of the farm located in the historic center of Zacatecas, Zac. They decided to renovate said space and turn it into a great hotel, the architect Gonzalo Arenas was the one who carried out the project respecting the privileged location of the farm.
The facade is hand-carved, in pink-toned Zacatecan stone masonry, designed with ornaments, stamps and auctions of various symbols, in the style of the surrounding area: ornate and elegant, baroque and eclectic.

Being the facade the distinctive element of greatest value, a detailed survey of it was carried out in order to rescue, restore and preserve it as much as possible.

In 2002, an auxiliary hanging system was implemented that allowed it to be maintained without damage during the entire process to create the interior of the hotel. Outside we admire all the splendor of its past and inside, modern architectural spaces with all the comforts and current technologies.

The new spaces that today make up the Santa Rita Art Hotel were interconnected with a large interior patio that provides us with perspectives and visual finishes adorned with Zacatecas and national plastic art. Achieving the union of two historical times by Zacatecan artisans in the same space and time.

For the creation of these architectural interiors, a mixed structure of steel and concrete was used, which allowed the distribution of 41 boutique rooms of various sizes, all beautifully proportional, illuminated and with the same formal style of great simplicity and elegance.
