Art Deco Reimagined for 21st-Century City Living

Combining the allure of the Art Deco movement with modern conveniences and splashes of color, architect Antonio Farré has spearheaded this building’s update from classic Condesa residence to splashy boutique hotel oozing with vintage glamour. Plenty of gilt, Art Deco geometry, period aesthetics and luxe marble finishes root the property in its original era. Each of its rooms is infused with natural light and filled with handcrafted furnishings in warm colors, integrating historical design with traditional craftsmanship and 21st-century luxuries.

All nine room types are outfitted with king beds (except the standard suite, with a full) and kitchenettes. There is 24-hour security. Some rooms have garden views and/or balconies, and the property’s penthouse suites have balconies overlooking the neighborhood.
