Born in Mexico City, Ricardo Montalbán was the most well-mannered, wholesome, honorable, and decent of all movie stars. When he walked through a room, relaxed and impeccably tailored, he seemed to leave a trail of integrity and authenticity. Best-known for his TV role as Mr. Roarke in the series “Fantasy Island,” which he played from 1978 until 1984.

Diego Rivera, probably Mexico’s most famous artist (although his wife, the long-suffering Frida Kahlo has a larger cult following), was born in Guanajuato, about an hour from here. He was one of a pair of twins…his brother died at the age of two. From then on, it is said, Diego traveled all over the world looking for him, trying to find him in places of intense beauty. He visited San Miguel frequently and found it beautiful beyond words.When Frida came into Diego’s life, promising more passion and even more turbulence, he fell at her feet, swooning hopelessly like a love-struck schoolboy. Frida used to say that she could not live with Diego—nunca, never!—but she could not live without him. Their love was the stuff of legend.We have remembered Diego and Frida in these two exquisite little studio apartments by bringing in some of their art…and with their art, the feeling of their amazing, open-hearted relationship–so combative, so belligerent…so utterly rapturous.

Each apartment has its own bathroom with shower and a kitchenette. The kitchenettes have a window, small refrigerator, microwave oven, coffee-maker, and toaster. There is a breakfast table for two, queen size bed, flat screen TV, DVD player, cable TV, Wi-Fi internet and a wall-mounted gas heater.

We are grateful to the gifted San Miguel artists who painstakingly created the beautiful silver repose furniture. The full length mirrors let you leave home knowing everything is matching and in order!

The Godfather of Mexican Cinema Actors, probably the greatest movie character actor ever, playing Arabs, Native Americans, Asians, Italians, Ukrainians,Greeks…and Mexicans.  On his frequent visits to San Miguel to rest between films and other adventures, Quinn stayed a few streets from here at the Casa de Sierra Nevada. He loved the slow pace of this town, its traditions, its refined culture, and its special ways of embracing visitors.

She was probably the most famous Mexican star in the history of cinema. Possessed of an otherworldly loveliness, she was the match of Garbo, Dietrich and Crawford. She was frequently called the “Princess of México.”  When she visited San Miguel between films, Dolores usually stayed with her good friend, the great clown, Cantinflas. Del Rio loved it here because, under an oversized bonnet and behind dark glasses, she could wander around the Mercado in the Centro unnoticed. Quite a feat for one of the most public personalities of her age.
