Brick Hotel México City

"This is a sleek, design-forward option in the heart of Mexico City’s Colonia Roma, where everything the coveted neighborhood has to offer—from its shady 19th-century boulevards to the fresh pastries at Panadería Rosetta—is just steps away. Staying at an Airbnb might be the way to feel like a local here, but trotting up the Brick Hotel’s sweeping, palm-shrouded steps at the end of an evening leaves you feeling just as relevant. The building is steeped in its own history: The original house, or Gran Casona, that predated the hotel was built in the early 20th century from bricks shipped over from England to create a private estate for the original manager of the Bank of London and Mexico. Mexico City has no shortage of boutique and design hotels at this point, but few sit on quite as perfect a block as the Brick’s Calle Orizaba, one of the neighborhood’s main arteries. —Lale Arikoglu"

Reopened in 2019 (after an initial 2010 opening), the Brick is far more modern than the Belle Epoque architecture surrounding it suggests.

"The upscale residential neighborhood of Roma is home to more than a few century-old mansions, but this one is unique — built from bricks shipped over from England, it was the custom-built residence for the head of the Bank of London & Mexico." - MICHELIN Guide
