Modernist architectural sanctuary
Sunlight filters across white plaster walls into an intimate salon, where creative travelers gather beneath vaulted ceilings.
“Hood breathed new life into the modernist space while still respecting its heritage. Six bedrooms all have enormous windows and en suite bathrooms.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Restored mid-century architecture showcasing volcanic stone floors, bespoke oak millwork, and vintage furnishings from modernist masters.

A preserved 1962 modernist residence designed by Mario Pani, featuring original terrazzo, porthole windows, and curving stairs.
Notable

What they say
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
With its thoughtful details, intimate character and design-forward clientele, Casa Pani ... fills a much-needed gap in the city’s accommodation offerings.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Leafy residential streets place you within walking distance of Paseo de la Reforma, local ramen shops, and Bosque de Chapultepec.
The rooms
Main house suites retain volcanic stone floors and porthole windows, while rear annex rooms feature polished concrete and raw ceilings.
The dipping pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An organically sculpted white plaster dipping pool sits in the central courtyard, seasonally heated or chilled.
At the table
In-house cook Doña Kati prepares Oaxacan breakfasts in the open kitchen, and private chef dinners are available.
How it began
Built in 1962 as a private residence by Mario Pani, the modernist landmark was sensitively reimagined as an intimate guesthouse.
