Hotel Matilda

Hotel Matilda

"This 32-room hotel may appear traditional, thanks to its colonial facade—but the sleek Hotel Matilda is anything but. There’s a crazy video installation set up behind the front desk, and the hallways are lined with contemporary artwork; and once you get to your room, you’ll discover crisp white beds dressed with Egyptian cotton linens and slate gray accents. Photographs by Mexico City artist Eduardo Zaylan hang on the walls in guest rooms. Marble-clad bathrooms have Malin + Goetz products, and some have free-standing tubs, though the infinity pool (shaded by palm trees) and the rooftop bar are the true standouts. If you’re looking for a boisterous party scene, this isn’t it, but for a slick, adults-only auberge, you can’t do much better."
