Habita Hotel

18 Best Boutique Hotels in Mexico City

"For more than 20 years, this OG design hotel has inhabited prime real estate on Avenida Presidente Masaryk, in Mexico City’s high-class Polanco neighborhood. The 1950s-era building has a clouded-glass facade that makes it instantly recognizable from the street. If you’re lucky, your minimalist room has a terrace. But if not, seek out the upstairs pool deck and terrace, which offer great daytime views and intimate, cozy vibes at night." - Susannah Rigg

"How did it strike you on arrival?For more than 20 years, this OG design hotel has inhabited prime real estate on Avenida Presidente Masaryk, in Mexico City’s high-class Polanco neighborhood. The 1950s-era building has a clouded-glass facade that makes it instantly recognizable from the street. As you enter the lobby and walk past a nice-looking restaurant, you’ll be struck by a distinct “design hotel” sensibility, albeit one that’s now not quite as modern as some of the city’s newer options. Nice. What’s the crowd like?A global smorgasbord of 30- and 40-somethings who want to stay in the Beverly Hills of Mexico City. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The decent-sized rooms are outfitted in wood, glass, and metal to create a modern, clean-lined feeling that’s more airy than cozy. Bonus points for the private terrace in most rooms. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Take note: The beds are low and have firmer mattresses. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?Malin + Goetz amenities are found across a number of the Habita hotel properties. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The junior suites and king deluxe rooms have both tubs and showers. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Free Wi-Fi is available in all areas of the hotel. Room service: Worth it?The 24-hour room service comes from the on-site restaurant, which serves contemporary international cuisine. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.The upstairs pool deck and terrace are quite spectacular during the day. At night, the area has an intimate, cozy vibe, especially during colder months when the fire is burning. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?The hotel does feel like it needs a bit of an update, and the music emanating from the terrace bar can be off-putting to if you prefer peace and quiet (in which case, request a room as far away from the fourth floor terrace as possible)." - Susannah Rigg

"Ultra-modern Hotel Habita sits on upscale avenue Presidente Masaryk, in the midst of the Polanco's fine restaurants and shops. Opened in 2000 and renovated in 2012, the hotel, which looks like a glass cube, continues to attract travelers who appreciate its sleek design and superb location. Rooms are typical of Grupo Habita hotels-spare and uncluttered, with luxurious toiletries and high-tech amenities, like flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. The staff is accommodating and will help guests with everything from transportation recommendations to securing reservations at top nearby restaurants, such as Biko, Pujol, and Quintonil. All three appeared on the 2015 "Latin America's 50 Best Restaurants" list."
