Noble House Hotels & Resorts expands collection with first venture into Mexico

You deserve to get away! Occupying prime real estate along the coveted shores of Medano Beach in Cabo San Lucas is Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa, the newest addition to Noble House Hotels & Resorts’ elite collection. Slated to debut in early 2022, this $100 million reveal will feature a new-build tower with 204 rooms and suites, contemporary meeting space, the highest and most lavish rooftop bar in Cabo, two infinity edge pools, and various dining options. Currently, guests can experience the modern guestrooms, pools, lobby and posh rooftop bar, while next year’s grand reveal will encompass the complete unveiling including the signature restaurant and fresh meeting space.

 

Infinity Pool

In addition to the newly built tower and its amenities, guests also have access to pre-existing features enveloped into the Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa experience, including Baja Brewing, the only micro-brewery in Cabo San Lucas; Aleta, an oceanfront all-day dining destination; additional pools; full-service Sparitual and salon; and Corazón Beach Club, the largest beach club on Medano Beach, the only swimmable beach in Cabo San Lucas. 

Kingsuite Ocean

“This is Noble House’s first property in Mexico, and we felt it important to set a precedent within the region regarding the level of luxury and service that’s synonymous with our brand,” said Sean Mullen, president, acquisition, sales & revenue management for Noble House Hotels & Resorts. “The result is an impressive and exceptional experience from rooms to rooftop. Noble House properties are also known to cater to adventurers at heart, and the prime location of Corazón answers that call to a tee. From thrilling hydrofoil rides in the Sea of Cortez to delving into the mesmerizing culture of Los Cabos, the resort offers an extraordinary home base to explore this bucket list worthy destination.”

Room View

Standing nine stories high, the new Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa is topped off by Rooftop 360, which proudly holds the title of the highest rooftop bar in Cabo. The roomy and ritzy deck boasts unmatched views of the Sea of Cortez and enchanting city skyline, flanked by an infinity pool overlooking the sea. The bar evokes local charm with custom patterned cement tiles made in Todos Santos embellishing its façade, while string lights and chandeliers dangle from the signature, leaf-patterned pergola ceiling made of Palo-de-Arco, a material typically used in Baja. 

Rooftop 360 City View

The contemporary new build offers 187 hotel rooms and 17 luxury suites, ranging in size from 358 to 945 square feet. With an envious location where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, the building’s design by Mexican architect Arnoldo Rábago of RACO is inspired by the surrounding nautical elements, playing upon clean modern lines to offer somewhat of a departure from the typical Cabo model. 

Rooftop 360

The interiors showcase a joint effort between Carlita Alexander, noted for her design work for W Times Square and Las Vegas’ Cosmopolitan, and Sofía Idoate, who has led projects such as the signature restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton in Mexico City, Crown Hotel in Sydney and Dream Hotel Group condominiums in Atlanta. A timeless narrative throughout, the project draws influence from Mexico’s rich history, integrating cultural elements with luxurious amenities. Local craftsmen were tapped to utilize typical Baja materials and construction techniques that honor the regional identity with a contemporary, surprising twist.

Lobby Main

Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling glass sliding doors, bringing the outdoors in along with an unrivaled view of the iconic Land’s End landmark, Pacific Ocean, and city skyline. Local manufacturers created custom furniture and art pieces using textiles and natural finishes in a color palette inspired by the region for both interior and plush balcony furnishings.  

Lobby Hallway

The expansive lobby features a light and airy color palette with art gallery style seating showcasing one-of-a-kind Mexican artwork and gabion walls seemingly suspending rocks in mid-air. Nearby, the soon-to-be-unveiled Draque Mojito Bar offers indoor seating with eclectic vignettes and an inviting outdoor Cuban-inspired terrace to enjoy inventive cocktails. Just outside the lobby doors, an infinity pool gives way to a spectacular vantage point of the bay and arch, with a lively geometric pattern at the poolside bar blending into the changing natural light throughout the day. 

Beach Club

Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa and its impressive collection of amenities will open in its entirety early 2022 with the completion of a signature restaurant, coffee bar and an additional 7,450 square feet of meeting space via the additions of a modern ballroom and boardrooms. 

“No detail was spared in creating this truly one-of-a-kind and dynamic resort in the heart of Cabo San Lucas,” said Carlos Blanco, general manager, Corazón Cabo Resort & Spa. “From truly inspired room designs to the excitement of Rooftop 360, the resort is eager to welcome the tastemakers of travel who seek an elevated, authentic and memorable Los Cabos experience.”

Sin duda, el 2021 Mazda3 Hatchback AWD es bello y muy versátil para una familia Latina con familia. Sin embargo, el modelo turbocargado será el que debe obtener si desea un Mazda 3 veloz. Pero este no es un renacimiento del Mazdaspeed 3. Ese clásico te va gustar, visto por última vez en 2013, actualizó el 3 estándar con un motor turboalimentado, un modelo deportivo. -Suspensión ajustada y transmisión manual de seis velocidades. El motor turboalimentado del nuevo Mazda3 es solo automático y no viene con ninguna otra mejora de rendimiento, pero su empuje sin esfuerzo y su impresionante refinamiento son buenos complementos para el manejo constante y el diseño premium del automóvil.

Aún así, el atletismo y la buena apariencia solo te llevan hasta cierto punto. , el Mazda 3 es un vehículo espacioso y con potencial para cualquiera que le gusta el Mazda. Pero aquí hay más que suficiente para que valga la pena echarle un vistazo, especialmente si disfruta de un automóvil pequeño con un empuje adicional.  El sedán Mazda3 2021 tiene un nuevo motor base de 2.0 litros con 155 caballos de fuerza, pero los modelos con puerta trasera solo vienen con el I4 mejorado de 2.5 litros. Este motor produce 186 caballos de fuerza y ​​186 libras-pie de torque, y aunque la mayoría de los Mazda3 usan una transmisión automática de seis velocidades, hay disponible una manual de seis velocidades, pero solo en el ajuste superior y solo con tracción delantera. El conjunto de ayudas a la conducción i-Activesense de Mazda es estándar en el hatchback, que incluye control de crucero adaptativo, asistente de mantenimiento de carril, advertencia de cambio de carril, monitoreo de punto ciego y luces altas automáticas. Mazda siempre da prioridad a la participación del conductor por encima de muchas otras cosas, y el Mazda3 definitivamente se mantiene firme en un camino sinuoso. Este no es un automóvil rápido, pero es uno que puede empujar con seguridad en las vías públicas sin alcanzar velocidades locas. Mazda también hace un gran trabajo al configurar su dirección asistida eléctrica.  Me encanta en la manera que viene con un sistema de audio Bose de 12 bocinas del Turbo que están  llamativas cubiertas de aluminio. Incluso los interruptores en el volante y la consola central se sienten costosos. No está mal para un automóvil que se encuentra por debajo del precio promedio de transacción de un automóvil nuevo. 

Incluso la tecnología es lo novedoso porque viene con Apple CarPlay, Android Auto y un punto de acceso Wi-Fi 4G LTE vienen empaquetados en una pantalla de 8.8 pulgadas con la última versión de Mazda Connect, que tiene una interfaz minimalista que es agradable a la vista. Cuesta un poco acostumbrarse, ya que el dial de la consola central es la única forma de interactuar con la pantalla, Sin embargo, los propietarios deberían encontrarlo lo suficientemente fácil de dominar.  El Mazda3 también viene con sus cámaras retrovisoras de buena calidad; este Mazda3 Turbo muestra lo que hay detrás de mí en alta definición, e incluso hay un monitor de vista envolvente y sensores de estacionamiento en la mezcla. Todo es muy impresionante con el nuevo Mazda3 Hatchback AWD porque es bonito, viene con todo en tecnología y listo para satisfacer las necesidades de carga para toda la familia.

AUSTIN TEXAS- cuando se trata de barbacoa de Texas, Austin tiene un restaurante con menú de costillas mas ricas de este gran estado. La verdad que los más ricos que yo he probado están precisamente en The County Line BBQ situado en el corazón de la capital de Texas en Austin. Para los amantes de diferentes cortes de carnes y salsas, aquí es el lugar que se ha convertido en el lugar favorito para muchos Tejanos y visitantes de otros lugares.

Por eso no es de extrañar que la primera línea de restaurantes de The County Line BBQ en la colina es una ubicación perfecta por su vista hermosa junto al lago. Está ubicado solo unos 19 minutos desde el centro de la ciudad de Austin para llegar a las costillas mas sabrosas de Texas. Algo que notarás es lo espacioso que está el restaurante con asientos al aire libre con terrazas y salones viendo hacia afuera bellos arboles secuoya que bordea el agua.

Al llegar te reciben con todas las precauciones de COVID, desde los servidores hasta la limpieza del lugar esta muy buena. Las famosas costillas o tacos de cualquier carne están al orden del día. Con razón estás carnes son famosas y se sirven con la salsa picante de The County Line BBQ. La salchicha casera es jugosa y picante, con los condimentos adecuados. El servicio es cordial y excelente. También se puede pedir algo más ligero como la pechuga de pavo y el salmón ahumado a la plancha.

Los cortes de carne vienen tradicionalmente estilo familiar como frijoles pintos, la ensalada de col y el pan casero integral son esenciales para una verdadera experiencia de barbacoa en Texas. Ah, y no olvidar sus postres grandes y riquísimos como el brownie cubierto con helado de vainilla o el postre clásico como budín de pan. Traiga la familia o venga con su pareja al The County Line BBQ en el lago para una experiencia inolvidable. ¡Te va a encantar!

Florida is gaining popularity. Readers of Travel + Leisure ranked six Florida Keys properties among Florida’s top 15 resorts in the prestigious travel publication’s “World’s Best Awards 2021.” Open for voting from Jan. 11 through May 15, the “World’s Best” survey encouraged readers to reflect on travel experiences during a three-year period.

 

For the second consecutive year, Travel + Leisure’s readers awarded the number-one spot among “The Top 15 Resort Hotels in Florida” to the 27-acre Sunset Key Cottages, describing the property that features 40 standalone bungalows as “absolute paradise.”

"We're thrilled that Sunset Key Cottages, our unique island destination resort just off downtown Key West, has achieved this prestigious honor for the second year in a row," said Diane Schmidt, the property’s general manager. "Sunset Key truly is one of Florida's most exotic resorts for privacy and luxury.”

Oceans Edge Resort & Marina on Stock Island, Little Palm Island Resort & Spa off Little Torch Key, Ocean Key Resort & Spa in Key West, Isla Bella Beach Resort in Marathon and Key Largo’s Playa Largo Resort & Spa, Autograph Collection, also earned spots among the top 15.

Hotels were rated on their facilities, location, service, food and overall value.

"We're tremendously proud that six of our resorts in the Florida Keys — by far the most of any single Florida destination — are recognized among the state's top 15,” said Stacey Mitchell, director of the Florida Keys Tourist Development Council.

"Each of these well-regarded resorts continues to showcase our scenic wide-open spaces and our well-appointed, relaxed casual style of accommodations that visitors are seeking," Mitchell said.

Mazda Toyota Manufacturing Begins Production on 2022 Corolla Cross

With the push of a button and an engine roaring to life, Mazda Toyota Manufacturing (MTM) and its over 2,000 team members celebrated the start of production of the all-new 2022 Corolla Cross. MTM, the only North American facility to produce the Corolla Cross, is a joint venture partnership between Mazda Motor Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation. The plant continues to hire in preparation for production of the as-yet-to-be-announced Mazda vehicle.

"This is the moment MTM and our North Alabama community have waited for since we broke ground in November 2018," said Mark Brazeal, vice president of administration. "We are excited to see Corolla Cross in dealerships across the U.S."

MTM is currently hiring more than 1,700 additional employees to join its existing workforce, eventually reaching up to 4,000 once production is in full operation next year. The plant has the capacity to produce 300,000 vehicles a year, evenly split between the two nameplates.

"I'm so proud of our team members, and I'm excited to continue our hiring plan to add to our MTM family," said Janette Hostettler, vice president of production. "Our team members exhibit a true commitment to safety and quality, and it is a big day for them to watch the Corolla Cross drive off our line ready to be shipped."

MTM's investment increased to $2.311 billion when the parent companies announced an additional $830 million commitment in the summer of 2020. The additional investment allowed MTM to incorporate more cutting-edge technologies into its manufacturing processes.

For more than 50 years, Corolla has been synonymous with dependability, fuel efficiency, safety and value and is the all-time, best-selling vehicle in the world. The all-new 2022 Corolla Cross will join that legacy when it hits dealerships in October. To learn more about the Corolla Cross, read the Toyota announcement.

Production photos and vehicle video are available on the Toyota Newsroom.
