"This is a sleek, design-forward option in the heart of Mexico City’s Colonia Roma, where everything the coveted neighborhood has to offer—from its shady 19th-century boulevards to the fresh pastries at Panadería Rosetta—is just steps away. Staying at an Airbnb might be the way to feel like a local here, but trotting up the Brick Hotel’s sweeping, palm-shrouded steps at the end of an evening leaves you feeling just as relevant. Reopened in 2019 (after an initial 2010 opening), the Brick is far more modern than the Belle Époque architecture surrounding it suggests. But the building is steeped in its own history: The original house, or Gran Casona, that predated the hotel was built in the early 20th century from bricks shipped over from England to create a private estate for the original manager of the Bank of London and Mexico. Mexico City has no shortage of boutique and design hotels at this point, but few sit on quite as perfect a block as the Brick’s Calle Orizaba, one of the neighborhood’s main arteries." - Susannah Rigg, Michaela Trimble
"Once owned by a Mexican president, this Roma Norte charmer hides a luxe little spa and updates its Belle Époque bones with modern details from parquet floors to Deco‑styled full‑length mirrors and floor‑to‑ceiling windows." - The MICHELIN Guide

The ground-floor terrace serves as a lively daytime gathering spot and becomes a chic restaurant by night, offering excellent cocktails made from an extensive mezcal list." - Lauren Mowery
"Once owned by one of Mexico’s presidents, today, after a thorough but sensitive renovation, it’s one of Mexico City’s finest small luxury hotels." - MICHELIN Guide
