"In the heart of Centro Histórico, this art-driven stay occupies the renovated 19th-century Edificio España, where original features shine—from the stairway with stainless-steel railings to a skylight-capped atrium with glass mosaic flooring. Of the 59 guest rooms, 12 suites add plush sofas and vinyl record players, and every room features artwork from standout Mexican creatives like David Troice, Andrea Bores, and Disciplina Studio. It’s my go-to for experiencing Mexico City’s aesthetic delights past and present." - Alexis Mustri Guindi

The backstory: Set within the renovated 19th-century Edificio España, the development company Origen Global commissioned architecture firms nomah and JSª to form the hotel while maintaining the building’s most prominent features, including the original stairway with stainless steel railings and a skylight-capped atrium with glass mosaic flooring. The rooms: Of the hotel’s 59 guest rooms, 12 are suites that come equipped with plush sofas and vinyl record players for guests to enjoy during their stay. Each room also features artwork sourced from some of Mexico’s most interesting creatives, such as David Troice, Andrea Bores, and Disciplina Studio. Food and drink: The hotel is host to five dining options, including the upscale terrace restaurant Paxia and the more relaxed Oliva, both serving contemporary Mexican dishes with Jewish influences by chef Daniel Ovadía. The spa: While the property doesn’t have an in-house spa, it does have a partnership with SCAPE to offer in-room treatments such as deep tissue massages and exfoliating facials. The neighborhood/area: The property is set in the bustling Centro Histórico neighborhood of Mexico City near the Zócalo, the largest plaza in Latin America. Guests will be within easy walking distance of some of the city’s most historic sites, including the Templo Mayor, an important site of the ancient Aztec empire that’s now a museum, as well as Spanish-colonial structures like the National Palace and Metropolitan Cathedral. The service: The property’s concierge offers 24-hour service and a team dedicated to making each guest’s stay a unique experience by sharing special information about culture and arts programming in Mexico City. Anything left to mention? In October 2021, the hotel inaugurated a new space known as El Cubo, an art and culinary hub featuring a gallery, a concept shop, and even a cafe offering cinnamon-fried churros from Churrería San Ginés, a shop first founded in Madrid in 1894." - Michaela Trimble
