Courtyard Chic in Roma

Located on the edge of La Condesa and Roma Norte, this contemporary studio has an oversized and sleek bedroom that opens out to a bright courtyard lounge area, clad in jade tiles and set with cool succulents and tropically-inspired seating. The patio's showpiece is its poured concrete soaking tub set alongside the lounge area, protected under a greenhouse-styled ceiling.

A compact kitchen offers a spot for in-house food prep or coffee enjoyed at the dining island, and there’s a built-in work station in the open living space, an area shut off from the bedroom by a partition and privacy drapery. A walk-in shower dominates the spacious bathroom indoors, and the ground-level studio makes for an ideal spot for a couple's getaway for folks seeking an urban pied-à-terre in the city's pretty Roma neighborhood.

Around

Located near the La Cibeles fountain in CDMX's tree-shaded neighborhood of Roma, the apartment makes a great base for exploring the area, a bustling quarter by both day and night, with plenty of historical charms and contemporary flair. Roma is the ideal neighborhood for wandering, perusing, admiring and eating. One of the liveliest sections of Mexico City, Roma and Roma Norte are abuzz with a dazzling variety of restaurants, shops and art galleries. The neighborhood is also known for its historical architecture, leafy avenues and refurbished mansions that are home to galleries and cultural centers. Generally packed with young professionals and happy families all sampling its offerings, the Mercado Roma offers a multitude of food stalls.

Easy walking distance from the city’s famous Parque Chapultepec, Latin America’s biggest urban park, Roma offers a balance between buzz and deep breathing. The park covers nearly 700 hectares centered on a rock formation, Chapultepec Hill. Also one of the oldest protected urban forests in Latin America, the park features a pre-Hispanic Aztec aqueduct, and a massive water tank, the Cárcamo de Dolores, with a mural and fountain designed by Diego Rivera and a Site Museum opened in 2019 that offers visitors to the park an overview of its important history, architecture and role in supplying water to residents for decades.
