9 Affordable Hotels in Mexico City That Rival Their Luxury Counterparts | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set inside a restored 17th-century palace in the Centro Histórico, this intimate 17-room stay mingles stone and wood with modern minimalism. I love the rooftop pool and terrace for sweeping skyline views, mezcal cocktails, and relaxed socializing. Rooms vary dramatically—some impress with height and light while others are compact, warm retreats—but authenticity always trumps formulaic luxury. Breakfast stands out with seasonal fruit, house-baked breads, and made-to-order hot dishes, and attentive yet discreet service (plus a pet-friendly policy) wraps the experience in quiet comfort. Nestled among historic monuments and cultural landmarks, it’s one of the city’s most atmospheric, design-forward boutique stays for travelers who value mood, history, and architectural character over polished uniformity." - Alexis Mustri Guindi
