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. This connection runs deeper than design. Millions of years ago, during the Mesozoic Era, much of Chihuahua was submerged beneath the ancient Tethys Sea, leaving behind fossils and marine traces that still shape the region’s identity today. At Vetta, that sense of history, transformation, and natural beauty subtly informs both the architecture and the guest experience. We sat down with Alberto Cunningham, Director General of Vetta, to discuss the vision behind the hotel, its role within Distrito Uno, and how it captures the spirit of Chihuahua through design, gastronomy, and hospitality.
