"In chi-chi Condesa, fashion designer Roberta Maceda has crafted a seven-room retreat that is a minimalist extension of her Octavia clothing line. On the ground floor, there’s a shoppable bronze rack of Maceda’s pieces, like crisp white button-up shirts. Upstairs, suites are dressed in neutral palettes, and named after things in the natural world, from walnut (nogal) and linen (lino) to earth (tierra) and bronze (bronce). The softest cotton-satin bedding comes, of course, from Octavia’s homeware line, while the rest of the studied interiors showcase other Mexican designers. There’s no restaurant, but breakfast is brought in from the local bakery, with sweet Mexican pastries such as conchas served with homemade hibiscus-and-ginger jam. In the evenings, it’s a short stroll to city favorites including Italian restaurant Lardo and natural wine bar Caiman." - Susannah Rigg, Michaela Trimble
