Historic Significance

After extensive travels throughout India and Tibet, the architect Agustin Salvat decided to erect an ashram in Mexico. Four decades ago he discovered the ideal magnetic qualities necessary in a wooded area to the north of Valle de Bravo in the State of Mexico and proceeded to create the Loto Azul. The building criterion was based on a respect for the environment using natural materials such as adobe, stone and wood. Several stone quartzes, known for increasing energy, were incorporated into the foundation, and the structure’s design was determined through the application of I-Ching and Feng-Shui.

The hotel’s founder and actual owner began the modest venture with one room and a throne where Jarish Johari, mentor of Deepak Chopra among others, imparted lectures on oriental teachings and philosophy. Here the Ayurvedic and Tantric health systems were presented for the first time in Mexico.

Over the years the Hotel Loto Azul has evolved and continues to offer visitors a true encounter with nature, quality service and the historical legacy of two universes in one space.
