What they say
Michelin Selected

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Hotel Dama is a prime example: architects Paulina Herrera Chain and Patricio Galindo Chain cleverly converted this 1950s-era apartment complex into a boutique hotel with retro Mexican flair.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tree-lined sidewalks place you within walking distance of corner cafés, art galleries, and the leafy pathways of Parque España and Parque México.
The rooms
Checkered marble floors and bespoke dark wood furniture open through sliding glass doors onto private balconies or quiet courtyard patios.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Dama Terraza
Dining tables inlaid with chessboards sit along cushioned banquettes beneath timber beams, serving morning chilaquiles and all-day homestyle fare.
At the table
Stools line the rooftop bar beneath timber rafters, where bartenders pour artisanal mezcals and local wines under flowering jacaranda branches.
How it began
Remodeled by C2D Arquitectura, this 1950s vecindad was transformed from five apartments into an intimate, mid-century-inspired retreat filled with Mexican crafts.
