Inside Pablo Escobar's Mexican hideaway converted into a hotel for A-listers

The mansion, believed to have been owned by the infamous and violent Colombian drug trafficker Pablo Escobar, has become a luxury hotel.

According to Jam Press, Escobar, located along the Caribbean coastline of the Riviera Maya in Mexico, is reportedly hidden from the authorities of the estate.

In the 1970s, when the Mexican government decided to turn the now popular town of Tulum into a vacation destination, Escobar saw the opportunity to get one of the most exclusive properties there.

Escobar, named Casa Marca, is located in a remote off-the-grid area and is suspected of sneaking up there to escape authorities.

His property remained abandoned when he was captured and killed.

Almost 10 years after his death, the estate was discovered by art collector Rio Marca. Rio Marca decided to spend more than two years buying this property and converting it into an artistic hotel.
