BTN Interviews: Alberto Cunningham, Director General, Vetta, Autograph Collection, Distrito Uno
In the heart of Chihuahua’s rapidly evolving Distrito Uno, Vetta – Autograph Collection stands as a striking example of how modern luxury can be deeply rooted in place. Defined by its use of locally sourced basalt stone, towering timber structures, and crystals from regional mines, the hotel is more than a destination—it’s a reflection of the land itself.
