The original Hollywood power couple's old holiday home is now a luxury hotel where fans can stay...


The Elizabeth Taylor Suite at Casa Kimberly, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

It's the place where the world's most famous Welshman once romanced Hollywood's most glamorous actress - and now you could stay there for Valentine's Day .

Casa Kimberly, the Mexican love nest where screen legends Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton holidayed together in the '60s, has been turned into a nine suite boutique hotel by its latest owners - meaning that now you can vacation like Tinseltown royalty, all for the decidedly un-A'list price of $435 (£300) per night.

The hotel also features a pool, a boutique spa and The Iguana Restaurant, named after Burton's 1964 movie, The Night of the Iguana, which the star from Pontrhydyfen filmed nearby.

The luxury bolt-hole's stand-out feature, however, is the Elizabeth Taylor Suite - starting from $825 (£530) per night - which includes a Swarovski crystal chandelier and the pink heart-shaped marble bathtub that Taylor specially commissioned for the property.

Meanwhile, the Cleopatra Suite, named for the historical epic that brought Burton and Taylor together, has a private patio with a sunken hot tub and sweeping views over Banderas Bay.

Casa Kimberly's renovation and new life as a hotel are the work of hotelier Janice Chatterton.
