Hotel Downtown Mexico is like many of Grupo Habita’s hotels
in Mexico: a beautiful colonial building given a new life as a contemporary
hotel. But Downtown Mexico is smack dab in the middle of Mexico City’s Centro
Historico, a neighborhood surrounded by colonial buildings originally built
atop the Aztec remains of Tenochtitlan.
Hotel Downtown Mexico is located inside the Palacio de Los
Condes de Miravalle, one of these historic buildings. A vacation here gives you
a front row seat to a World Heritage Site, and the enchanting center of Mexico
City.
Hotel Downtown Mexico offers several different rooms and
suites, with views of either the street or the hotel courtyard. Rooms are
relaxing, and designed for simplicity, however the high ceilings and brick
walls remain as a nod to the colonial Palacio.
Each of the hotel’s courtyards are unique, some offering
views of the city and other colonial buildings. One in particular actually has
an entire wall covered in vines and plants manicured to look like a bike path,
and they’ve even stuck a real bicycle on the wall! You’ll get a 360 degree view of Centro Historico as you lounge by the pool and bar on the rooftop too.
The hotel is filled with remnants of the former Palacio, including a mural from the early 1900s in front of the staircase by Mexican artist Manuel Rodriguez Lozano, and a very cool old elevator that appears as though it still works.
