HOTEL INFORMATION

Condesa DF | Mexico City, Mexico
Compared to SoHo in New York, Condesa is considered one of the most modern areas of Mexico City. Characterized by time-worn colonial architecture, it is packed with chic, cosmopolitan venues and lush green parks with tropical plants and trees. Located among historic buildings on a tree-lined street in Colonia Condesa, the Hotel Condesa DF blends in with the bohemian spirit of its surroundings. From the furniture designed by the Parisian interior designer India Mahdavi, to the stone tiles, Hotel Condesa DF mixes contemporary design in a 1928 French neoclassical building. Modern in style, but at the same time warm, elegant but unpretentious, the 40 rooms and suites were inspired, without sacrificing comfort, by the simplicity of monastic bedrooms. The result is an environment of calm and airy spaces, some of which open onto wooden terraces. An overall floral theme is punctuated by certain details, such as the cushion covers, which serve to enhance the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
