"Mexico City has no shortage of reimagined mansions, but Ignacia Guest House is particularly stunning, thanks to the design-driven finishes of the 1913 Beaux Arts building. At the center of the hotel is a courtyard, where guests can relax in a garden of cacti. On one side of the courtyard is the restored house with one black-themed room, a pink lounge, a library, and a kitchen and dining space with French doors that lead onto the courtyard. Opposite the main house, in contrast, is a sharp and shiny new building with four guest rooms painted in shades of yellow, rose, black, or green. Wherever you choose to stay, don’t skip Ignacia’s morning meal. With a selection of artisanal conchas (sweet Mexican bread), fresh fruit, and house made sopes and tamales, the breakfast spread is worthy of a leisurely morning." - Mary Holland, Sandra Ramani
