Wendle reimagined the property with an<br />

entire collection of furniture designed<br />

especially for the hotel in addition to<br />

handwoven rugs, bed throws and table<br />

tops which pay homage to mid-century<br />

Mexican and European art and design.<br />

Artwork by celebrated Spanish and<br />

Latin American artists decorate the<br />

walls including works by Pablo Picasso,<br />

Fernando Botero and Eduardo Santiere.<br />

There are Pierre Jeanneret chairs in the<br />

main sitting room along with lamps by<br />

Serge Mouille and Pierre Guariche, all<br />

perfectly befitting of the idyllic backdrop<br />

of lush palms and cerulean skies. All<br />

inspiring Jason Wu’s design collection.<br />

Originally built as the private hideaway<br />

home of an Italian duchess on what is<br />

considered the most beautiful stretch of<br />

Mexico’s Caribbean coast, Hotel Esencia<br />

is today one of the finest luxury boutique<br />

properties on the Riviera Maya. In 2014,<br />

it began a new journey when awardwinning<br />

entrepreneur and art collector,<br />

Kevin Wendle became owner.<br />
