"From the founder of the local women’s wear label Octavia Casa comes a sleek minimalist seven-room retreat in La Condesa. Even the outside of the building, which has a wooden lattice facade and leafy plants that add life and color to the natural corners, has a calming feel. Inside, neutral, light-filled rooms and large white beds promote a sense of tranquility; all ceramics, glass, and linens are sourced from local brands like Onora, Encrudo, and Entei. While the hotel is firmly rooted in Mexican design, from certain angles you could almost mistake it for a ryokan in Japan." - Mary Holland, Sandra Ramani
