Hotel Carlota

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

"Minimal, thoughtful, and quietly stylish, this modern boutique hideaway in Cuauhtémoc balances concrete, wood, curated art, and essential comforts across 36 rooms—some with terraces, all with air-conditioning and private bathrooms. A courtyard pool, poolside bar, and a restaurant serving contemporary Mexican cuisine give it the feel of a neighborhood retreat rather than a tourist hotel. I appreciate the complimentary bicycle lending, the pet-friendly policy, and service that’s warm without being overbearing. With an easy walk to Paseo de la Reforma and nearby museums, cafés, and galleries, it’s an ideal base for exploring Mexico City at my own pace—subtle, creative, and welcoming for travelers who value character over spectacle." - Alexis Mustri Guindi
