Mexico City

International visitors once skipped Mexico City for the country’s resort-lined coasts. We saw something different: a city rich in culture, art, architecture, and design. The perfect place for our first hotel. As the city gained global attention, we expanded with new locations that reflected the city’s vibrant neighborhoods.

Tropical cosmopolitan

Condesa DF

Nestled among the leafy streets and historic buildings of the spirited Condesa neighborhood, this is an informal, high-tech take on a 1920s French neoclassical building. Airy, elegant rooms with plush furnishings and soft textiles make the perfect base for exploring the dining and nightlife nearby.

A base for explorers

Downtown Beds

The spirit of wanderlust is alive and well at Downtown Beds. Green plants trail down concrete walls in an airy central courtyard, where guests can gather at the open-air bar. The unfussy rooms range from one to eight beds, perfectly situated in the historic heart of the city.

Soulfully restored

Downtown Mexico

Located in a magnificent 17th-century building in an area recognized by UNESCO, Downtown Mexico is a design-led reinterpretation of Mexican viceregal style. The rooms are rich with texture, with warm timber, terracotta accents, and exposed brick.

Reimagined tradition

Círculo Mexicano

Look out of the windows of this restored 19th-century residence and see postcard-perfect views of Mexico City’s central cathedral. But unlike the cathedral’s ornate facade, the interiors here are warm and minimalist, with shaker-style carpentry set against whitewashed walls.

Where it all began

Habita Hotel

A striking glass cube floats above the tree-lined promenades, patios and luxury shops of Polanco. Inside, the volume is turned down; the interiors are soft and restrained. The cafe-bar upstairs, where the rooftop pool is framed by a tile mural, is the perfect perch to look out over the skyscrapers.

Puebla

Puebla is a colonial city of candy-colored domes and bell towers rising against distant hills—and, on closer inspection, of fine craft, distinctive pottery, and culinary tradition. The city is believed to be the birthplace of mole, and while not everyone agrees, one thing is certain: eating well is in the local DNA.

Raw and refined

La Purificadora

La Purificadora shines a light on authentically Mexican culture, simplicity, and modern design. Housed in a former water purification factory, the space has been carefully reimagined, maintaining its industrial patina and filled with local art and artifacts.

Guadalajara

There’s more to Guadalajara than tequila and mariachi—though the tequila tradition is one we take seriously. Beyond its beautiful colonial buildings, of which there are many, Mexico’s second largest city is home to several modernist landmarks, from José Clemente Orozco’s murals to early works by Luis Barragán.

Milan meets Mexico

Casa Habita

A contemporary extension and interior design by Milanese studio Dimore brings an original 1940s house firmly into the 21st century. The jewel-toned palette carries from the lobby and bar through to the rooms, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame wide open views of the buzzing Lafayette neighborhood.

Veracruz

A humid hub, a global port, one of Mexico’s oldest cities—Veracruz is shaped by Afro-Caribbean and Spanish roots, and it shows in the music, the food, and the unhurried pace of life. Beyond the city, the wider state is a steamy, fertile stretch of coast where much of the country’s sugar, vanilla, and coffee comes from.

The tropical finca

Maison Couturier

In the wild Veracruz tropics, an old finca has been converted into an 18-room inn–a place to lounge in the reading room or on the veranda, where dappled light filters through the thick canopy. This is still hardworking agricultural land. Guests are never far from a lemon tree or a banana palm.

The sweetest escape

Azúcar

Sugar is fundamental to life in Veracruz—so much so that we named this resort after the stuff. The white ranch-style buildings, right next to the emerald beach, are tropical living the way it’s meant to be: al fresco showers, thatched palm roofs, and an undulating pool for whiling the day away.

La Paz, Baja California

Framed by desert landscapes and the turquoise Sea of Cortez, La Paz is Baja California Sur at its most laid-back. Travelers come for island-studded coastlines, abundant marine life, and easy access to some of Mexico’s most spectacular natural environments.

A villa by the sea

Baja Club Hotel

Baja Club sits on the oceanside boardwalk of La Paz’s historic center and is made up of a 19th-century colonial villa alongside a four-story new build. The central courtyard is lined with columns and lush with plants, while up on the rooftop, the terrace bar is where to watch the bay turn gold at sunset.

Oaxaca

Oaxaca is in a class of its own. Ancient craft traditions, world-class food, locally made mezcal, and a design culture that has drawn artists and makers for decades. It’s a city that rewards curiosity, there’s much to discover in its sunset-colored buildings, markets and mezcalerías.

Tropical brutalism

Otro Oaxaca

Otro Oaxaca is a fresh take on the city: underground spa, multi-story suites, rooftop dining. It’s a place for going with the flow and discovering the local way of life. But the finest spot may be the pool, where guests can swim while looking the iconic Church of Santo Domingo straight in the eye.

Oaxacan savoir-faire

Escondido Oaxaca Hotel

To call Escondido Oaxaca just a hotel would be to tell only half the story. Woven tapestries, Sabino wood furniture, uniforms, robes, bedspreads—every inch is the work of local artisans. It’s a shrine to the Oaxaca spirit that just happens to also be a hotel.

Puerto Escondido

What was once a wild stretch of Pacific coast frequented mostly by big-wave surfers has slowly evolved into something else entirely. A laid-back, design-conscious destination has sparked new art spaces and attracted those who frequent them. But the surfers are still here too.

Pacific chill

Hotel Humano

Steps from the surf of the world-famous Zicatela Beach, Hotel Humano channels the laid-back local spirit of Puerto Escondido. The latticed façade connects the lobby to street life, where guests can watch the world go by over a cup of locally sourced coffee made by the in-house baristas.

Off-grid, on the sea

Hotel Terrestre

Deep in the jungle, a striking angular building rises from the verdant hills. Between the mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Hotel Terrestre, with its earthy, minimalist interior, invites guests to connect with nature. The building runs entirely on solar power, constructed from materials sourced nearby.

Poolside bliss

Hotel Escondido

Just outside the city, the rustic Hotel Escondido gives you no choice but to slow down and enjoy life. And how could you not, when there are hammocks for lounging, an infinity pool for floating and for poolside massages, and cozy bedrooms with thatched ceilings to dream the night away.

Mérida, Yucatán

A spirit of renaissance is sweeping through Merida, where 19th-century mansions are converting into hotels, restaurants and cultural spaces—a city remaking itself without forgetting what came before. The mix of contemporary creativity, colonial architecture and living Maya culture is unlike anything else in Mexico.

Beauty and decay

Hotel Sevilla

Hotel Sevilla is the unlikely pairing of luxury and decay. The 16th-century ruin has been restored, but not quite. Timeworn walls and raw stone surfaces are treated as a thing of beauty, softened by timber carpentry and cozy textiles. The pool gives the impression of a flooded courtyard that time forgot.

Chicago

Chicago is casual, practical, and humble–and therein lies its charm. Its architectural history shows the moment that everything changed with the birth of the skyscraper. It’s the city of Mies van der Rohe, deep-dish pizza, and the Chicago blues. Today, that creative spirit continues to shape the city on its own terms.

Above Wicker Park

The Robey

The Robey is housed in an Art Deco tower, the only skyscraper for miles. Period details meet modern comforts and in true Grupo Habita style, there’s a pool on the roof. Being the tallest building around comes with its perks—guests can swim laps or sip margaritas with glorious views of Wicker Park.
