Hotel Amares Acapulco (Formerly Calinda Beach)

For over half a century, the iconic cylindrical tower rising above the sparkling waters of Acapulco Zona Dorada was known as the Hotel Calinda Beach. Following a complete, top-to-bottom transformation after Hurricane Otis, this historic beachfront landmark has officially turned the page. Reimagined by the Ostar Hotel Group, the property has reopened as Hotel Amares Acapulco—a fully modernized, retro-chic paradise that seamlessly blends its classic mid-century silhouette with world-class structural safety.
