"The Condesa neighbourhood is named after the Countess of Miravalle, an 18th-century noblewoman whose lands extended throughout this exclusive corner of Mexico City. Villa Condesa was one of many elegant mansions along the area's tree-lined boulevards that lay neglected as aristocratic families squabbled over inheritance - until the Nava family came to the rescue. Homero, a broadcast journalist, and his Nicaraguan wife Daisy (with a little help from their 2 teenage sons) spent 3 years renovating the building until its recent reincarnation as a chic, 13-room boutique hotel. Exterior structures like the wrought-iron entrance gate and creamy white portico with its stone columns and carvings were kept. Inside, bamboo plants now reach up to glass-and-steel skylights and modern art graces muted walls of mauve.Despite its cool makeover, the hotel has a warm ambiance - on arrival you'll be greeted by at least one of the Nava family, who will help with your luggage then set down a frosty Corona for you in the stylish interior courtyard that doubles as a dining terrace. A perfect fit into this fashionable barrio of smart bars and upscale restaurants, Villa Condesa fits even more pleasantly around its guests. Highs Tranquil atmosphere of a cultured home rather than a show hotel Thoughtful touches like bowls of fruit and umbrellas throughout the house; free bikes to borrow The cheery red kitchen is open to guests if you fancy a cup of tea or popping in a laundry loadSmall but professional staff of family and friends so service is always personal and smileySafe, quiet and very attractive neighbourhood Lows No restaurant per se, more an open-air dining terrace that offers breakfast, lunch and supper on a small scaleLimited car parking on the street but you're just a 5-minute walk to the nearest Metro station No swimming pool or spa" - Glenda Richards
"Housed in an erstwhile 19th-century mansion, I appreciated Hotel Villa Condesa's fifteen spacious, comfortable suites, leafy stylish surroundings, some rooms with balconies, a lovely terrace to relax on, complimentary breakfast, and welcoming staff." - Matthew Kepnes
"This boutique property in Condesa, housed in a 19th-century mansion, feels as leafy and stylish as the neighborhood and boasts a cool interior courtyard that’s a calm oasis in the city; a complimentary breakfast is served every morning (definitely try the chilaquiles and the huevos rancheros). With only fifteen spacious and comfortable suites, each different—some brightly decorated, others stately with antique furniture and hardwood floors—and some with balconies, it feels very homey and the staff are friendly and welcoming. All rooms come with a flatscreen TV and a desk, and the bathrooms, though a bit small, include complimentary toiletries and plush bathrobes, making this ideal for a quiet stay in one of Mexico City’s best neighborhoods." - Matthew Kepnes
