The Bridge Richard Burton Built for Elizabeth Taylor

The Bridge Richard Burton Built for Elizabeth Taylor

It crosses above Calle Zaragoza at the third floor — a small, white, covered bridge connecting two houses on a cobblestone street in Old Town Puerto Vallarta. From below, it looks almost modest. From above, standing on it at dusk with Banderas Bay spread out ahead of you and the city falling away beneath your feet, it is something else entirely. Richard Burton had it built in 1964. The story, by now, has the quality of legend — which is appropriate, because it involves two of the most legendary people of the twentieth century. Burton and Taylor came to Puerto...

Thoughts on Earning One of Mexico’s First MICHELIN Keys

Thoughts on Earning One of Mexico’s First MICHELIN Keys

The MICHELIN Guide does not announce itself in advance. There is no application, no committee to lobby, no way to prepare beyond simply doing the work you believe in and hoping someone notices. So when we learned that Casa Kimberly had been named one of the first hotels in Mexico to receive a MICHELIN Key — and one of only a handful in all of Puerto Vallarta — it arrived as something closer to a quiet revelation than a celebration. We have always known what Casa Kimberly is. A nine-suite hotel on a cobblestone hillside in Old Town Puerto Vallarta,...

Puerto Vallarta’s Most Romantic Address

Puerto Vallarta’s Most Romantic Address

The Hotel That Began as a Love Story Casa Kimberly has always been a living love story. Today, it is Puerto Vallarta’s most romantic hotel. The story begins in 1963, when Richard Burton arrived in a sleepy fishing village on Mexico’s Pacific coast to film The Night of the Iguana. He and Elizabeth Taylor — screen legends as famous for their passionate, scandalous romance as for their award-laden films — were in the whirl of an affair that had set the world talking. She was still married to Eddie Fisher; he to Sybil Williams. But they couldn’t bear to be...

The Unique History of Casa Kimberly’s Puente Del Amor (Bridge of Love)

The Unique History of Casa Kimberly’s Puente Del Amor (Bridge of Love)

Have you taken a picture on our Puente Del Amor yet? While fully renovated and expanded, certain iconic elements of Casa Kimberly’s celebrated past remain intact. “Puente Del Amor” or the Bridge of Love was originally designed as a replica of the Bridge of Sighs. Richard Burton arranged for Elizbeth Taylor to stay in Casa Kimberly directly across the street from his own casita and built a bridge (a handy way to avoid the paparazzi) connecting the two. He then gave Casa Kimberly to Taylor for her 32nd birthday in 1964. To this day, the beautiful, famous bridge still connects...

Traditional Mexican Ceviche by the Iguana Restaurant and Tequila Bar

Although ceviche originates in South America, the savory dish has made it across the globe. In its simplest form, ceviche consists of raw fish marinated in citrus juice, making it a refreshing appetizer! Traditional Mexican ceviche consists of marinated shrimp served with a side of toasted tortilla chips but each variation of the dish has a unique flare that makes it exceptional. The Iguana Restaurant and Tequila Bar’s ceviche is made with scallops, octopus and shrimp marinated in a roasted habanero vinaigrette. We recommend enjoying ceviche with a perfectly tart CK Classic Margarita.
