Casa Kimberly

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's Puerto Vallarta love nest

The house where Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor lived during and after the filming of The Night of the Iguana in 1963. Burton bought a second house across the street for Taylor and connected the two with a bridge, now known as the Lovers' Bridge. Today Casa Kimberly operates as a boutique hotel with nine suites, blue-and-white tiled staircases, 19th-century antiques, and views over Banderas Bay. The Iguana Restaurant inside serves Mexican cuisine with a side of old Hollywood glamour.

A story
Richard Burton bought the house across the street for Elizabeth Taylor as a birthday gift, then had the two buildings connected by a pink bridge — the "Lovers' Bridge" — so they could pass between them without being seen by the press camped out below.
