That’s Casa Tenue, a serene hotel in Mexico City’s leading culinary neighborhood that feels more like a house than a boutique property. Creating the hotel, once the second-oldest home in the entire borough, was a collaborative effort by the city’s top firms, with curation led by NÚ, architecture and landscaping details done by Vertebral, and interiors by H116. Now, the restored early 20th-century home, first built in 1904, features eight rooms filled with contemporary Mexican art and bespoke design.

Though the rooms are mostly neutral, it’s for a reason—the original checkerboard marble flooring is just too beautiful to cover. To learn a little more about the city during your stay, be sure to drop by the lobby’s sunken living room, where a bookcase of Mexican literature awaits.

Ignacia Guesthouse
This Beaux-Arts mansion was first built in 1913 as a private family home and is now one of the top boutique properties in the Roma Norte borough. Named after the home’s housekeeper, Ignacia, who worked at the mansion for more than forty years, the nine-suite property—featuring a salon, dining room, kitchen area, and three suites set in the original structure—is sought after for its cozy feel, as if you’re staying at the home of a well-to-do friend. In partnership with construction firm Factor Eficiencia, the designer Andrés Gutiérrez was tapped to create a new extension of the property, which now houses four suites designed in color-blocked interiors, from a gold-hued room to one decked in shades of rose. In 2022, two balcony suites were added, which share a common outdoor space adorned with fireplaces and a jacuzzi framed by treetops.

The sizes range from small bedrooms with marble finishes to a suite overlooking the pool, filled with handmade tapestries, a freestanding marble bath, and a separate living area with a velvet sofa.

When guests first arrive at the Art Deco building—it was originally built as an apartment complex in 1947 and has since been converted into a hotel by the Texas-based Bunkhouse group—they’re greeted by a minty façade lined with potted plants and an outdoor seating area, an extension of the ground-floor bar that offers Agave-based cocktails and classic Mexican small plates by evening.

Octavia Casa
This minimalist bed-and-breakfast is the work of the fashion designer Roberta Maceda, of label Octavia, who set about creating the oasis of her dreams alongside her mother after the duo purchased a crumbling building in the Condesa neighborhood. After demolishing the building and starting fresh, the duo built Octavia Casa. On a block of otherwise colorful façades, this contemporary, three-story building is distinct: designed by the architect Pablo Pérez Palacios, the entrance is marked by teca-wood panels and planters overflowing with jasmine. Within, guests are greeted in the lobby marked by walls brushed with chukum, a lime and concrete finish first used by the Maya of southern Mexico. In the lobby is a seating area with bamboo stools set adjacent to a breakfast nook: a tranquil garden with pebbled flooring and shade provided by a fruiting Japanese guava tree. Up a staircase are seven suites, each in varying size—two studios, a large apartment-style suite, and four standard rooms—and which showcase the works of some of Mexico’s premier design studios, from ceramics by Encrudo to glassware by Onora Casa.

Each level of the building has a shared space, from a library to a dining table, perfect for family gatherings.
