The history of San Antonio Atlacomulco Hacienda started during the conquest of New Spain which was headed by Captain General Hernán Cortés, who in 1530 decided to grow sugar cane on the property, in order to supply sugar production in Tlaltenango, an aquaduct of about 1,680 meters long was also constructed, which supplied the necessary water for the crops, this aquaduct ran from Chapultepec all the way to the Hacienda.

In 1642, Estefanía Aragón Pignatelli 6^a. Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca decided to move the sugar cane plantation from Tlaltenengo to San Antonio Atlacomulco, where he started the most important sugar plantation of New Spain and after the Revolution, of Independent Mexico. Even though it was never modernized, it was still a very important place for the society of the time.

During her visit in 1840, the Marquis Calderón de la Barca, dedicated her XXXI letter of her book "La Vida en México" to the Hacienda, where she described it's beauty and charm.

When the Mexican Revolution triumphed and gained independance from Spain, the proprties of the Marquis of the Valley of Mexico were administrated by Don Lucas Alamán, the respected mexican historian and polititian, these properties included the Hacienda in San Antonio Atlacomulco, he administered these properties until his death in 1853.



After the Revolution, the Mexican Government sold the property to the Monteleone-Pignatelli family, who started the reconstruction that conserved it's historic value so it could be converted into an exclusive hotel, considered as a TREASURE OF MORELOS.
