Arango Marbisa House, by American architect John Lautner, built one of his most important works in Acapulco.  In 1933, he joined Taliesin as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, where he remained until 1939. Lautner affirms that thanks to Wright that he learned a discipline of physical work, of valuing democracy and the virtues of individualism. Elements that have been fundamental in his definitions and attitudes towards architecture and life.

Little do they know that there was a woman, a Mexican socialite from Veracruz, who came to dominate the fashion world in New York during the 1950s and for almost two more decades. Thanks to this fiery passion for fashion, Gloria captured the attention of the industry, leading many to call her "The most elegant woman in the world". Her name appeared on the best dressed list as early as 1959, the first Mexican woman to appear there.

Also, in 1972, Gloria Guiness and her husband, Loel, joined the socialite who wanted a house in Acapulco. They wanted to build a large house in that city and had asked Luis Barragan to take charge of the project. The famed architect's busy schedule led him to turn down the proposal. Guinness knew Marco Aldaco, a young architect from Guadalajara. He invited him to draw sketches. Subsequently, he was invited to build his beach house.
