⸺ Coyoacán · Ciudad de México · seis habitaciones
A small hotel of six rooms, hidden behind a wall on Calle Francisco Sosa. Built in 1932, repainted three times by people who knew what they were doing.
"Para que la luz tenga un lugar donde caer,
primero hay que pintar la pared."
For light to have a place to fall, first you paint the wall.
— Inscription, in the courtyard, painter unknown.

⸺ La casa
La casa la construyó un médico de Coyoacán en 1932, en el terreno que su mujer heredó de su padre. La compramos en 2017 con la idea de hacer un hotel; nos llevó cuatro años entender qué clase de hotel.
La respuesta vino al pintar. Quitamos tres capas de blanco institucional y debajo apareció un rosa que no esperábamos. Un albañil de San Pedro nos dijo cómo se lograba: cal viva, pigmento de cochinilla, y paciencia.
Casa Sol está pintada a mano, una vez por año, por las mismas personas que pintaron la primera vez. Es lo único que insistimos en mantener igual.
— Mariana & Sergio Hernández, dueños
