Casa Habita

This property is truly one of a kind. If you like art deco style architecture, exceptional service, and a location that is unparalleled — This is the hotel for you. The restaurant, on the ground floor has both indoor and outdoor tables. The staff is incredibly attentive and provides excellent service. Great care has been taken to preserve the hotel, even including original fixtures and elements within the rooms. There are unique surprises on every level in the hotel. But by far, the best feature of the hotel is its team. They show a level of dedication and hospitality that is hard to find these days. Even the hotel manager, Jesus, went completely out of his way to ensure that we were delighted with our stay. This certainly has become my new “home“ when traveling to Guadalajara! Muchisimas Gracias!

My boyfriend and I went to Guadalajara for a weekend getaway from Mexico City and stayed at our beloved Grupo Habita hotel. The service throughout the hotel — from the reception to the restaurant — was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. The spa is simple, but I had one of the best massages of my life. My therapist, Rosa, has incredible hands; you can immediately tell she knows how to work with the body, find tension, and release trigger points. I HIGHLY recommend booking a massage with her. As for the rooms, the only downside is the lack of proper blackout curtains. Light from the bathroom easily reaches the bedroom since the walls are transparent, which affected my sleep. For people who aren’t sensitive to light, this might not be an issue. Despite this small inconvenience, I would absolutely return — I’d just request a room on a less sunny side of the building. Thank you!

The hotel is a beautiful site . The original building , built in the 1920s is stunning the deco details are gorgeous . The tower containing the rooms and suites is perfectly designed to blend , with fabulous bathrooms and really moody glossy red hallways . The windows are amazing . |The rooftop pool / bar area is lovely and the gentleman who staff it are professional and friendly , my favorite area of the hotel .|The Colonial America neighborhood is perfect . Tree lined streets filled with restaurants , street carts , cafes , boutiques , and mansions . A walkers paradise .|My only faults with the hotel would be the woefully unorganized dining room , their confusion was almost comical .|The other thing I found lacking was guest acknowledgment ….usually in this caliber ($) lodging a greeting is expected when say …passing the front desk , going through the front gates …|Often an employee would be seated and I’d go by unaddressed .|Last year we spent a week in Mexico City at Las Alcobas Hotel ( a world class establishment ) , never once did my hand touch the front door … the doormen dove to it before I could . When I stepped out of the elevator , the front desk turned and greeted me , every time .|A great hotel is more than just a lovely building . |While I loved Casa Habita’s physical structure …it left me a bit indifferent .

The staff were genuinely lovely, but unfortunately our stay was let down by a few issues. Our room had a strong sewage smell, to the point that it made me feel nauseous overnight, and the internet connection was very unreliable. The room was also very small, even with just carry-on luggage we could barely put our bags down, and I can’t imagine how anyone with a full-size suitcase would manage.

Casa Habita is a beautiful boutique hotel in a perfect location. I especially enjoyed the pool bar, shoutout to Enrique, the bartender, who introduced us to a tequila old fashioned for the first time, and it was absolutely delicious! Olivia at the front desk was very friendly and made our check-in smooth and welcoming. The other front desk staff were helpful, though not quite as warm.||Breakfast was limited with not many options, but the staff’s friendliness made up for it, Ezequiel was especially attentive in the mornings. We also had dinner at the hotel and enjoyed the salads and pizza, though the pasta was just okay.||Overall, it was a wonderful place to spend a few days, and they even had a thoughtful gesture for my birthday, which was such a nice touch. Thank you, Casa Habita!

My new favorite place to stay in Guadalajara. Everything about this boutique hotel was magic. The decor, the staff, the amenities. It was the perfect neighborhood to walk to dinner, a wine bar or to grab a coffee. We will definitely be back.

We had a really nice stay. The design is really top notch. The vouchers for cocktails at the pool were appreciated. They also helped us with a 9 am early check in for a fee after arriving on a redeye. The bed was comfortable. I would stay here again.

Absolutely gorgeous property and lovely rooms. I really enjoyed my stay; after checkout, I reviewed my folio and was surprised to see more than 12 minibar charges — and for items that were not even present in the room during my stay. It’s been a nightmare to have these erroneous charges removed following my departure - multiple calls, emails, etc etc. Would unfortunately not recommend as a result.

Casa Habita is a gorgeous boutique hotel in Guadalajara. The rooms are well appointed with little luxuries. Every space in the hotel has a unique element of style that I really appreciate. The breakfast is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the space is great to work from. I'd highly recommend staying here if you're looking to spend time in a lovely hotel with amazing style, delicious food and drinks, and great staff.

Rundown hotel in a nice location. Pool has huge holes in gunnite, and the whole place is just a little tired looking which is so sad because sues the location is so nice!

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Habita. The room, our daily breakfast in the restaurant, our nightly drink in the hotel bar, and the wonderful staff, everything was outstanding One of the front desk staff members - Israel - was particularly exceptional. He helped us with a number of different requests and he always did so with a tremendous, upbeat attitude. If you stay at Casa Habita, I am sure you will enjoy the experience and the hotel's central location

We booked this hotel to try something new, cute boutique feel. Beds are incredibly comfortable. House keeping did amazing with keeping up daily. Continental breakfast is tasty. Overall great experience. Only reason I dont to 5 stars is because we did have to move rooms due to AC not working. They were very kind to move us rooms and accommodate that problem. Would definitely come back.

Now Casa Habita, my favorite boutique hotel in Guadalajara. Always a nice stay at Casa Habita. Service is nice and attentive. Decor is chic and a minimalists dream, soft hues of rose pink and forest greens throughout the hotels decor, an instagram heaven. Guest rooms are perfect. I have stayed in their suites and regular rooms and they are as comfortable as they can be. Free good WiFi. Soft plush robes are always welcomed, and beds are as soft as can be. Bathrooms are spacious and attention to detail is not spared. Hotel provided a complimentary massage with Liz, and it was AMAZING! Definitely recommend her, very professional, nice, and amazing therapeutic skills. Overall a great value for your dollar here, and definitely recommend Casa Habita for your stay in GDL. Gracias!

This is a lovely little hotel. So boutique and cute and I had the best time enjoying breakfast every morning. Continental breakfast was free and included in my stay but it seem to be quite flexible so every day I got something a bit different. I tried out toast, sweet bread etc. and I always had a lovely coffee served with it.

I had trouble rating this place. There were things that went wrong, but then they fixed them well (except once). First, they checked us into a room that didn't have air-conditioning. So we boiled in bed for a while until my wife couldn't take it and we called the front desk and I think she realized she'd made a mistake so she moved us to a new room. So we had to get up and pack and move to a new room at midnight. HOWEVER, she upgraded us to a junior suite in the process. The difference was so extreme that it really made up for the error. That's how errors should be fixed: make the solution so good that the guest is thrilled you made the error and that's what happened here. So I don't hold this against them and am grateful for the upgrade because the large window and spacious, minimalist affect of the junior suit was a night-and-day improvement. The original studio was very cramped with a very lackluster view. The junior suit was spacious and elegant with a spectacular view. Second, the continental breakfast was supposed to be offered until noon. When we got there, there was nothing to be found and the workers didn't seem to know what we were talking about. So we went to the front desk and the manager looked at the clock and then went in and arranged a special continental breakfast brought to our table. Again, mistake yes, but they fixed it very well. The one that really bothered me was that they offer a shuttle service. I've never had a hotel charge for airport shuttles (and I stay in a lot of hotels). I was on the phone with the front desk worker for 5 minutes arranging this shuttle, answering a bunch of questions, and getting put on hold etc. She never told me there was a fee. They were saving that surprise for checkout. That took a confident five-star feeling and dropped it to 3 or 4 because I felt blindsided and taken-advantage of and the manager guy at the desk was not very comforting. He first claimed that the worker probably told me (she didn't), then that their fee was lower than taxis and uber (it wasn't all- in fact it was higher), and then then that they sent me an email through Expedia saying there was a fee. When I looked back, this turned out to be true. A day or two before checking in they sent a whole welcome email and at the bottom of the page it mentioned that shuttles were available for a "small fee". Unfortunately, I had only skimmed that email. They do not tell you when you order it that there is a fee or how much it is, they don't mention it on their website, and they don't even list the fee amount in their welcome email. They also charged a very gratuitous 70 peso fee for a bottle of water. Fine, whatever, I at least knew to expect to be overcharged for that so I'm not counting that in my review. So despite my very happy 3 days there, the surprise shuttle fee really rubbed me the wrong way and tainted my view. The reason I'm still leaving 5 stars is because on the way out, my uber got lost and one of the bellmen graciously spoke with him on the phone and even ran up the street to guide him to the hotel. GPS is iffy about finding the place and it doesn't stand out too well either. He then helped us into the uber and put our luggage in totally out of the goodness of his heart. So I restored the 5th star for him and because I (mostly) loved my stay there. The service was very good. The manager guy was ok, but everyone else was great. Very, very, great from the housekeeper, the front desk, the bartender, the restaurant staff, the massage therapist, the bellmen. Fantastic service all around. The studio rooms were too small, dark, and cramped with dull views. If we'd remained in that room, my review would have been lower. But since they gave us a junior suite, I'm basing it on that which was 5 stars for sure. We really enjoyed looking out the window before bed and when waking up. They give you coupons for freebies (free 10-minute massage, free margarita, free continental breakfast). The place is clean and comfortable and I recommend it. Just uber there though or pay the $350-$400 fee. And expect to be gauged on any purchases through the hotel. Also, it's not apparent, but the green furniture behind the bed is a closet so if you find something missing, the housekeeper may have put it in there. There is also space for storage, a refrigerator, and a robe and slippers. It's really cool once you know what it is!

Wonderful boutique hotel with an exquisite restaurant. The best home made pastries sweetbreads and scones I've ever had! The service and food quality is top notch. The feeling is retro modern and a feast to the eyes. Truly enchanting. Definitely will be back!!
