Casa Tenue

A Colonial Roma Norte Retreat Transformed into Cozy, Contemporary Boutique Hotel

Located at the heart of Mexico City’s historical Roma Norte, this relaxed, eight-room hotel is housed in a meticulously restored original home. Conceived by VERTEBRAL and H116 studios and thoughtfully curated by ÑÚ, the serene, richly earthy space was created for those seeking a slower rhythm, surrounded by contemporary Mexican art and bespoke design. Stone, velvets, earth-toned plasters and rich woods create a warm, almost hushed tranquility in each of the rooms, and contemporary canvases pop off of organic walls. Each room feels like a private haven, a cozy space grounded by earth tones, natural textures and curated organic design elements.

Roma Norte is a vibrant area where historical charm meets cool, contemporary creativity. Tree-lined avenues are filled with stately mansions, hip cafes, striking art galleries and street-front boutiques. There are lively outdoor markets, food stalls, and stands, hidden speakeasies and night clubs for after hours, and some of the city’s top tables all tucked into this area’s elegant streets. Green spaces are abundant in the neighborhood, and the local population is a lively mix of the generations thriving side-by-side along its leafy streets.
