In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Avenida Álvaro Obregón sits right outside, surrounded by Roma Norte's sidewalk bistros and cocktail bars.
The rooms
Suites are arranged like private apartments, fitted with kitchens, chukum-style plaster walls, and balconies set behind the timber facade.
Rooftop Garden & Bar
High barstools line a fluted dark stone counter. Across the terrace, communal wooden tables sit beneath an exposed timber pergola.
How it began
Local studio CRB Arquitectos completed the hybrid timber structure in 2025, connecting its two towers with planted light wells.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
