Porfiriano brick jewel-box
Behind the Porfiriano yellow brick facade, a moody lobby with dark leather gives way to a sunlit street-facing terrace.

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Leafy Calle Orizaba places independent art galleries, corner cafes, and neighborhood bakeries right outside your front door.
The rooms
Muted charcoal suites feature plush bedding and sleek rain showers, while bi-level Rooftop Suites add open-air terraces and claw-foot bathtubs.
The spa
Subterranean treatment suites at Hela Spa host Nordic massages and body treatments alongside a sauna and steam room.
Restaurant
Cerrajería Restaurante
The glass-enclosed dining room sits beneath slatted pergolas and ficus trees, serving contemporary Mexican cuisine and local wines.
In contrast to the sun-drenched patio outside, the moody hotel lobby is softly lit regardless of the time of day, complete with dark-leather furniture.
At the table
Drinks are poured across the illuminated marble bar, and the intimate subterranean speakeasy hosts late-night craft mixology.
How it began
The mansion was built in 1905 for a British bank manager using straw-yellow bricks shipped as ballast from London.
“Named after the yellow bricks brought over from London in the early 20th century that originally constructed its facade, the Brick Hotel is a top choice.”
