Historic palace stay, modern rooftop scene

Set in Mexico City’s Centro Histórico, this restored 17th-century palace mixes colonial bones with a raw industrial edge. Days start on a central balcony breakfast patio, then shift upstairs to a terracotta roof terrace with an infinity pool, hot tub, and loungers. It is the kind of place that keeps the city’s biggest sights close without feeling chaotic.

Fantastic hotel. The breakfast was a highlight. Be warned that the bathrooms, though beautiful, were “open concept”. The location between the Palacio de Belles Artes and the Cathedral, right next to a wonderful walking street was perfect. No taxis needed!

Breakfast was wonderful, the staff exceptional. The building is great and the room nice. However, the lighting in the room is horrible and should be changed. Nice rooftop hot tub.

I suggested on our last nite that breakfast plates should be pre-heated especially that mornings are pretty chilly. On the morning we left, I got a nice surprise with an omelette, fried beans and sautéed zucchini with corn on a hot plate! Just the best!

Downtown Hotel Mexico, was fantastic. Great location in the hub of the city, a short walk to the main square & cathedral. The hotel is in a historic building, which has a lively vibe with 2 restaurants in its coutyard. For more of a relaxing atmosphere, head to the rooftop bar & pool, which have great views of the rooftops. Staff were extremely friendly & helpful, with the hotel in great condition, clean, given the age of the historic building. If you are after a quiet retreat, it may not be your cup of tea, but we loved it!!

Amazing hotel

The building is beautiful. The staff was very nice and helpful. The rooms were comfortable. We loved the breakfast with lots of different options. The pool area was very nice and relaxing and the roof terrace was really cool. It's a pretty small hotel, but that gives it a nice atmosphere. The location was right in the middle of the historical center and close to the airport.

The property is located close to a few historical sights and looks very nice. The breakfast was also great. Sadly, there were a few issues - the swimming pool area was closed one of the days, the sink in my room didn't drain properly, there was noisy construction on site one night that went on past midnight and the AC didn't work well.

The hotel is located in a beautiful ancient house in the centre of historic Mexico city. The courtyard with its restaurant is the real gem of the property. Staff was attentive and helpful. Our room was very spacious with a balcony over the street and a super comfy bed with the softest bed sheets. It was truly a luxurious stay!

Beautiful hotel & stay! LOVE that the hotel has shops and restaurant (make sure you make reservations). The only suggestion to hotel is to give guests more light options in room. It was quite dark. Other than that, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!

10/10 Exceptional

This place was so beautiful—a real gem in the heart of the historic area of M. City. Our suite was so sexy—very much exceeded our expectations. My only criticism was the AC was loud (fan needs to be calibrated—sounded like it was rubbing something) and it didn’t seem to do much cooling. But, we kept the windows open to the outside and luckily it wasn’t too hot.

Why you should stay here. You appreciate interior design and architecture. You would like to be in the Centro historico district. Azul historico restaurant is downstairs. You would like a romantic stay. You like a perfect Mexican breakfast on a beautiful terrace. You like a property where the staff treat you well. You need a chance to relax at a rooftop pool with bar service. Why you shouldn’t stay here . You value peace and quiet. It’s in the epicenter of activity. Even though it’s an oasis, the speakers blare music from the street all day. If I were the owners of this hotel, I would pay the store on the street to turn it down. I was laughing to myself how this beautiful and charming property is a victim to a small business in the street that thinks loud music lures customers. But, It was quiet at night, so no big deal to me. Would stay here again! The people that work there are great!

Love DOWNTOWN!

The physical hotel is impressive! High ceiling, open space, very clean and easy to get around. I would only suggest a little more lighting by the stairs and elevator—it’s safe but just dark.

Delightful Downtown Hotel

I travel to Mexico often and this cdmx visit was my 4th time there but first time at Downtown hotel. Great cheaper spot if you want to stay in the center. Rooftop pool was fabulous as was the rooms. Everything clean and well kept. Free breakfast was fantastic! Special thanks to Luis my daily breakfast server…kind, professional, and helpful person! Check out Downtown Hotel!!

Fantastic hotel in downtown Mexico in an historical building; amazing room, bed & pillow so comfortable, great rooftop with pool and jacuzzi If you are looking for a unique experience in the old part of Mexico you must go!! Be aware that if you want to visit other areas of the city you will have to take a cab, so you can stay there for 1 or 2 nights

Good location. Modern, well appointed rooms with high ceilings but no window except the door - it is like sleeping in a tomb. Nice rooftop bar and pool, but pool not exclusive to hotel patrons and on the weekend, it was full of young people standing in pool and drinking (with glassware). Open public access to hotel floor - someone banged on our door late at night, Nice restaurant with beautiful candles in trees in courtyard entrance.
