"Tucked away behind a row of potted cacti on a quiet block in Roma Norte, Santa Casa is a boutique hotel steeped in local character. This restored Mexican Colonial Revival-style house, built in the 1930s, still features many of its fine original assets, including a quaint stucco facade with a curved parapet, Baroque spiral columns, and high arched windows that let in abundant natural light. It was once the home of a duchess who regularly hosted lively soirées, and it’s easy to imagine candlelight and the clink of glasses when stepping into the airy lobby with terracotta floors and midcentury modern furnishings. It’s also easy to act like you live here yourself, at least temporarily — there’s no restaurant, pool, or spa, but guests are encouraged to use the hotel’s inviting common spaces, and instead of a traditional reception area, the hotel provides a code to the front door to come and go as you please." - Tablet Hotels
