5 Best Hotels in Roma, Mexico City

Designed by one of the country's leading architects, this pale-green contemporary boutique hotel with a mid-century-modern vibe features spacious rooms with fully equipped kitchens, large balconies with tables and comfy chairs, organic Yucateco bath products, and a stunning collection of contemporary art. Located on the less swanky end of famously trendy Calle Colima, the hotel is a short walk from dozens of noteworthy restaurants. It's one of only a handful of Roma lodgings that welcome pets. 

An opulent English manor-style mansion from the early 20th century has been transformed into arguably Roma's most exclusive lodging, an intimate urban resort with first-class amenities and rooms outfitted with sumptuous touches like premium sound systems, Mexico-made Persea Apothecary bath products, and in-room climate control. Most accommodations have expansive private balconies, and the Signature Suite has a marble gas fireplace. The hotel's Hela Spa, while not large, does offer a full slate of massage and body services, and the trendy restaurant, Cerrajería, serves gorgeously plated contemporary international fare; there's also a landscaped terrace café serving lighter bites and a cozy speakeasy. Although breakfast isn't included in the rates, the hotel often offers packages that include this.

This six-story boutique hotel on the side of Roma Norte closer to Bosque de Chapultepec and Avenida Reforma offers uncluttered contemporary rooms with smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and stand-alone rain head showers, but instead of a conventional front desk, guests communicate with the highly efficient staff through text messages or phone calls. It's a set-up that's more akin to an Airbnb and may not be for everyone, but the reasonable rates, great location, and well-designed rooms have earned the hotel a very positive following. Barbero restaurant, on the ground floor, is a nice option for a glass of wine or a full dinner while the rooftop eatery Cafe de Mayo serves tasty breakfast and brunch fare (it's not open at night). 

Although this seven-story property---it's one of the largest in the neighborhood---isn't particular trendy, it does have warmly appointed contemporary rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, attractive white-tile showers, and ultra-comfy beds. There's a full-service restaurant and rooftop bar, and it's the rare Roma hotel with free parking. Rooms facing the street have Juliette balconies and let in more light (but also some street noise on the lower floors). 

An anomaly in fashionable Roma, this seven-story budget hotel built in the early 1970s won't win any prizes for its design, but with spacious if nondescript rooms, a friendly staff, and close proximity to the neighborhood's trendy restaurants and shops, it's a solid pick if you're looking to save money. The buffet breakfast costs extra but is pretty good. Try to get a room overlooking leafy Jardín Pushkin.
