Hotel San Fernando \u2014 Mexico City, Mexico<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The grass is green. The gardens are pretty. Learn why your next trip should be to Mexico City (and the hotels you should stay in when you get there).<\/h4>\n

Mexico City is often compared to New York. Dense, sprawling, edgy, filled with first-class culture and cuisine and huge public parks. It\u2019s also sometimes compared to Los Angeles for the vibe and the mountain views (and again, the sprawl). But there\u2019s really no need to compare it to anything. Other world capitals like London, Paris, and Tokyo all stand on their own and speak for themselves \u2014 Mexico City can as well. It’s easily the equal of all those places.<\/p>\n

Over the past few years, publications ranging from Forbes<\/em> to Time Out<\/em> to the New York Times<\/em> have listed Mexico City as the planet\u2019s #1 destination for art and culture, for business travel, and for where your next vacation should definitely be. This month even marks the long-awaited debut of Mexico City’s first MICHELIN Guide restaurant selection, confirming what most already knew, that Ciudad de M\u00e9xico is a true culinary mecca.<\/p>\n

The hotels ain\u2019t bad either, as you can see in our full selection for Mexico City<\/a>. Below, we\u2019ve singled out some of the best boutique hotels from the bunch. They’re intimate. They’re interesting. They’re all authentic expressions of this beautiful and beguiling metropolis.

Downtown Mexico<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Downtown<\/a><\/p>\n

Occupying a brick-fronted 17th-century palace a short walk from the Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n, Downtown Mexico has as central a location as a Mexico City hotel could ask for. Inside, the original high ceilings remain intact, among other charmingly weathered period details, but the prevailing atmosphere is that of a very clean, very contemporary modern boutique style.<\/p>\n

Colima 71 Art Community Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Colima<\/a><\/p>\n

Not only is Mexico City one of the cultural capitals of the Western Hemisphere, it\u2019s long been a showcase for inventive homegrown boutique hotels. And a fine example of both of these tendencies is Colima 71, a 16-room boutique hotel in a building designed by the celebrated local architect Alberto Kalach, featuring interior design by the local studios Nomah and Karla Celerio Interiorismo.<\/p>\n

Brick Hotel<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Brick<\/a><\/p>\n

The upscale residential neighborhood of Roma is home to more than a few century-old mansions, but this one is unique \u2014 made from bricks shipped over from England, it was the custom-built residence for the head of the Bank of London & Mexico. It was later owned by one of Mexico\u2019s presidents, and today, after a thorough but sensitive renovation, it\u2019s one of Mexico City\u2019s finest small luxury hotels.<\/p>\n

Casa Polanco<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Casa<\/a><\/p>\n

Casa Polanco is an understated name, but it says all it needs to say. This small and intimate boutique hotel is set in one of Mexico City\u2019s poshest neighborhoods, and it occupies two formerly private houses \u2014 a Forties Neocolonial mansion and the modernist addition next door. Together they contain 19 rooms and suites, all unique and all decorated in a style that\u2019s unmistakably luxe but maximally tasteful.<\/p>\n

Volga<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Volga\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s named for the road it\u2019s on, which is in turn named for the most famous river in Russia. And if there\u2019s something a bit Eastern Bloc about this concrete tower, it\u2019s probably down to the associations of Brutalism, or maybe the Tarkovsky-like tableau of its minimalist interior atrium garden. But Volga, the hotel, is a pure expression of today\u2019s Mexico City \u2014 a city that\u2019s as cosmopolitan as it is unique.<\/p>\n

Hotel San Fernando<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Hotel<\/a><\/p>\n

The Texas-based Bunkhouse group has ventured over the border once before, with Baja\u2019s Hotel San Cristobal. Now the boutique hotel legends are making moves in Mexico City. The San Fernando keeps the name of the building it calls home, a distinctive 1947 apartment building in Condesa, while its interiors have been thoroughly reimagined by Bunkhouse and local firm Reurbano.<\/p>\n

La Valise Mexico City<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"La<\/a><\/p>\n

Let the big chains scramble to outdo each other with huge spas and restaurants, sparkling fitness centers and Olympic-sized pools. An achingly hip little hotel like La Valise doesn\u2019t need any of that. The three-suite property, located above a shop in a 1920s townhouse, makes a virtue of its small size with unique amenities like a king-sized bed that rolls out to an open-air terrace.<\/p>\n

casa9<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Mandraki<\/a><\/p>\n

You\u2019d be hard pressed to find a more exemplary hospitality success story than casa9. Originally built in the early 20th century as a decadent private residence for a wealthy family, the house was left neglected for decades and slowly fell into total disrepair before a new family gave it a top-to-bottom makeover. Now, years later, it exists as casa9, one of the most exquisite B&Bs in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

Pug Seal Anatole France<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Pug<\/a><\/p>\n

Pug Seal Anatole France is set in the upscale western neighborhood of Polanco, and while it\u2019s a new build rather than a historical structure, it\u2019s not lacking for personality \u2014 it\u2019s the rare house in Polanco that\u2019s painted in eye-popping Wimbledon purple and green. But once you\u2019re inside you\u2019ll see that the color scheme is perhaps the least extravagant thing about it.<\/p>\n

Campos Polanco<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Campos<\/a><\/p>\n

An unusual Art Deco building in one of the capital\u2019s poshest districts is now home to Campos Polanco, a luxury boutique hotel that aims for nothing less than an authentic residential experience \u2014 albeit an extremely high-end one. Its setting is unique, facing the green expanse of the Garden of the Republic of Lebanon. And its design is striking, the result of an all-star team of local creative talent.<\/p>\n

Ignacia Guest House<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"Ignacia<\/a><\/p>\n

Ignacia Guest House is no ordinary guest house. Set in the upscale Colonia Roma, the mansion that\u2019s stood on this site since 1913 was already impressive enough. Now, thanks to an ultra-modern expansion by architect Ferm\u00edn Espinosa and designer Andr\u00e9s Guti\u00e9rrez, it\u2019s the kind of house that gets written about in architecture magazines \u2014 and one of the most unique hotel experiences in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

C\u00edrculo Mexicano<\/a><\/h2>\n
Mexico City, Mexico<\/h5>\n

\"C\u00edrculo<\/a><\/p>\n

Grupo Habita and architects Ambrosi Etchegaray have converted a 19th-century building in the Centro Hist\u00f3rico into C\u00edrculo Mexicano, a striking and unique 25-room boutique hotel. The accommodations, on the second and third floors, are arranged around a central patio, and in the public spaces the contrast of weathered period materials and brand-new modern construction is at its strongest.<\/p>\n
