A crescent-shaped swimming pool shimmers under Mexican sunshine at the Hotel Camino Real in Guadalajara, its manicured lawn dotted with mid-century modern folding chairs in yellow and blue — a postcard-perfect vision of jet-age luxury travel in 1960s Mexico that captures the optimism of an era when international hotel chains were transforming Latin American tourism. The Camino Real Guadalajara, one of Mexico's most storied luxury properties, opened in the early 1960s and quickly became the address of choice for business travelers and well-heeled tourists exploring Jalisco. Towering palms frame the hotel's bold signage above a sleek horizontal roofline. The card was published by Delfino Oliva of San Luis Potosí using the Potocolor chrome process and printed in Mexico, with catalog number DO-340.
