ABOUT US
Hi! My name is Maria and I was born and raised in Mexico City.
Due to my parents passion for travel, I was given from an early age the opportunity to discover both the touristic and secret sides of Mexico. This is how I came to realize that hospitality was, and continues to be, my passion.
So, when the day came to decide what I wanted to do with my life, I moved to Switzerland to study hospitality at one of the best universities in the industry: Les Roches International School of Hotel Management.
From then on, I’ve been working in the hospitality industry, mainly in sales and marketing, which I love. However, I couldn’t shake the thought that something was missing in my life; I wasn’t doing enough to help the environment, especially since I believe that global warming is the greatest threat of our time.
Thus, I decided to do something about it. Long days of study, research and analysis showed me that most people don’t know that there are amazing sustainable hotels out there. Moreover, finding these options is often hard and sometimes there is no guarantee that the hotel is going to fulfill the guests expectations. This discovery led me to find a sustainable way in which I could use my professional experience to contribute to the betterment of our world: Eco Hotels & Resorts.
I love each and every one of the hotels in this collection, because of their uniqueness and because they are trying to make a difference in this world! I hope you love them too.

LOGO
Our logo represents a Paulownia Tomentosa tree, which is also known as Kiri tree. This tree can grow in almost any type of soil, it is tolerable to pollution, it grows faster than almost any other kind of tree, it adverts soil erosion, it survives wildfire, it reduces ten times more carbon dioxide (CO2) and produces ten times more oxygen than an average tree.
We chose the Kiri tree to represent us because we believe it stands for our beliefs as a company. Our goal at EHR is to become a company that makes a difference, which reduces carbon footprints, and creates a positive change in the world. This is why we build our daily actions inspired by the Kiri tree: we fight through all adversities, grow in any land and faster than most, survive all threats and overcome our weaknesses. All while also giving back to the environment.ABOUT US
