"Set inside a restored 17th-century palace in the Centro Histórico, this intimate 17-room stay mingles stone and wood with modern minimalism. I love the rooftop pool and terrace for sweeping skyline views, mezcal cocktails, and relaxed socializing. Rooms vary dramatically—some impress with height and light while others are compact, warm retreats—but authenticity always trumps formulaic luxury. Breakfast stands out with seasonal fruit, house-baked breads, and made-to-order hot dishes, and attentive yet discreet service (plus a pet-friendly policy) wraps the experience in quiet comfort. Nestled among historic monuments and cultural landmarks, it’s one of the city’s most atmospheric, design-forward boutique stays for travelers who value mood, history, and architectural character over polished uniformity." - Alexis Mustri Guindi
"History and modernity collide at this impressive design hotel, set in a converted 17th-century manor. Located just five minutes from Zócalo, Mexico City’s main square, Downtown Mexico is the perfect home base from which to explore the historic heart of the capital. But with just 17 rooms—all accented with clean-lined modern furniture, tall ceilings, and large windows—it’s also the perfect quiet escape from the crowded streets. Bonus points for the rooftop pool." - Susannah Rigg, Michaela Trimble

"A few blocks down from the main square ‘Plaza de la Constitución’, you will find one of Habita’s group hotel seamlessly fitting in with the colonial architecture. Downtown Mexico blends colonial 17th-century viceregal style with industrial architecture, creating a kind of chic bohemian royal atmosphere. You can have lunch and coffee in the garden patio while admiring the hanging garden. Then later that night, the dimmed lights from the rooftop and its drinks will surprise you with a relaxed and modern atmosphere." - Bryant Castro & Abel Coss from Open Late
"History buffs need look no further for their ideal accommodations than this 17th-century colonial mansion, which touts UNESCO World Heritage status as one of the oldest buildings in Mexico’s historic center." - Travel + Leisure Editors
