Casapani

"It’s rare you get to sleep in a house designed by a legendary architect. That’s why architecture enthusiasts flock to Casa Pani, a space designed by the late Mexican modernist Mario Pani, known for his innovative urban design. The team behind the project includes architect Miggi Hood, Yola Mezcal cofounder Yola Jimenez, and entrepreneur Marie Cazalaa, who together purchased two Pani-designed houses and overhauled them, creating a cool guesthouse in the less-touristed Juarez neighborhood. Hood breathed new life into the modernist space while still respecting its heritage. Six bedrooms all have enormous windows and en suite bathrooms. Each room has its own distinctive character, whether it’s a private terrace shaded by a jacaranda tree, a bathroom with a giant tub, or an orange wingback vintage lounge chair. There’s also a courtyard, communal kitchen, and living area where guests often meet and mingle." - Mary Holland, Sandra Ramani

"First designed as a private single-family home in 1962 by Mario Pani, a Mexican architect and urbanist who gave form to much of Mexico City’s appearance, the property still exudes a sense of familial comfort and ease. There’s the well-worn leather and chrome sofas that invite repose and conversation, the 11-foot-long communal dining/work table made from Tzalam wood that’s a preferred WFH outpost, and the shared kitchen outfitted with liquors left as offerings from past visitors. Bookended by a magnificent midcentury church with soaring stained glass windows and a charming park at the end of the street, Casa Pani is very much a part of the neighborhood. If you’re up early, you can—and really should—catch the local couple selling tamales from the street." - Dana Covit

"First built in the 1960s by the architect Mario Pani as his private residence, Casa Pani has been revamped into a six-bedroom guesthouse ideal for aesthetes and cool kid creatives. The first four rooms are set in the main house (one suite includes the original fireplace); through an atrium and covered courtyard is the new annex, home to two more contemporary suites. Also in the main house is an all-white lounge decked in over a dozen works by the late American abstract painter James H. D. Brown. The property features a communal guest kitchen, but guests may want to take a quick stroll to Little Tokyo, an area known for harboring some of the city’s best Japanese ramen bars and coffee shops." - Susannah Rigg, Michaela Trimble

"Why book? Built by one of Mexico City’s most notable modernist architects, Casa Pani offers a relaxing respite for aesthetes to enjoy the work of the country’s regaled artists. Set the scene: Frequented by art world savants and travelers who admire the work of Mexico’s top modernist architects, Casa Pani attracts cool kid creatives who are vying for the chance to stay in one of six guest suites in a revamped 1960s mansion. The backstory: First built in the 1960s by the architect Mario Pani as his private residence, Casa Pani was purchased and revamped into a six-bedroom guesthouse by the entrepreneurs Miggi Hood, Marie Cazalaa, and Yola Jimenez, of Yola Mezcal. Now, the original three-story structure is host to four guest suites and an all-white lounge decked in over a dozen works by the late American abstract painter James H. D. Brown, which connects to two additional rooms within a modern three-story annex designed by the Mexican architecture firm Estudio Atemporal. The rooms: The six guest rooms are split between the original three-story building and the modern annex structure. The first four rooms are set in the main house and include an L-shaped suite replete with the original Mario Pani-designed fireplace that was once the home’s former salon. Through an atrium and covered courtyard is the new annex, home to two more contemporary suites, both with polished concrete floors and curved oak doors designed by the Mexican furniture studio Taller Nacional. Food and drink: The home features a communal guest kitchen but offers on-property dining. The neighborhood/area: Set in the Cuaùtemoc neighborhood, the property is within walking distance of Mexico City’s largest green space, Bosque de Chapultepec, as well Little Tokyo, an area known for harboring some of the city’s best Japanese ramen bars and coffee shops. The service: Through the property manager, guests can book experiences like an in-house massage. Anything left to mention? Set in the home’s covered courtyard is a Valentine Schlegel-inspired dipping pool that offers both hot and cool temperatures according to season." - Michaela Trimble
