Jalisco, Guadalajara
Casa Habita
(4 stars)Grupo Habita chose an early 20th-century mansion house in the trendy Lafayette district as the home for their latest launch back in 2015 – Casa Habita. Dimore Studio then worked its magic to create 37 art-forward suites. There are two distinct areas of the building, each with its own personality – the newer of the two houses the bedrooms and spa. On the rooftop are a swimming pool, bar, terrace and chill-out areas, plus there’s an indoor restaurant serving Mexican comfort food. Guests can borrow bicycles for free to explore Guadalajara sustainably while staying at Casa Habita.
Oaxaca, Oaxaca City
Quinta Real Oaxaca
(5 stars)Dating back to 1576, this building served as the Convent of Santa Catalina de Siena until the mid-1700s. Now a boutique hotel, its frescoes, original tile floors, beamed ceilings, flower-filled gardens, stone courtyards and fountains make it a unique and enchanting place to stay. There are 91 classically decorated rooms (with air-con, a minibar, bathrobes and slippers), an alfresco restaurant, bar, a snack bar, a fitness centre and an outdoor pool. Quinta Real Oaxaca places travellers within a short walk of all of the city’s main attractions.
