7 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. 

This cozy, reasonably priced B&B located down a private alley has seven simple but inviting rooms with white color schemes that contrast with brightly colored Mexican-made pillows, crafts, and decorative accents, along with charming common spaces that include an indoor patio, a sunny terrace, and a dining area with a full kitchen. Thoughtful touches abound, including organic and locally made bath products; the use of bikes, umbrellas, and reusable market bags for shopping; free calls throughout North America and Europe; and safe luggage storage if you're arriving before check-in or departing after check-out. In addition to outstanding full breakfast, the inn serves freshly baked cookies and agua frescas in the afternoon. This is also the very rare B&B that welcome pets. 

This smartly designed boutique inn is filled with thoughtful touches and whimsical creative flourishes, including colorful contemporary paintings and murals by up-and-coming artists, co-working and yoga rooms, and complimentary coffee, Mexican candies, and even mezcal shots. The staff here really goes above and beyond to make everyone's stay enjoyable, and they're more than happy to arrange custom tours and transportation around the city. The NaNa brand has sister properties in the cities of Oaxaca and Morelia.

Within this refined early 20th-century mansion, graciously appointed rooms with tastefully neutral color schemes, plush linens, and original architectural details appeal to a discerning crowd who wish to be close to Roma's fantastic restaurants but in a quieter section that's slightly removed from the neighborhood's sometimes frenetic nightlife. Imagine you're staying at your wealthy and welcoming aunt's house, and for a splurge, treat yourself to the roomy master suite, with its separate living room and a balcony overlooking the street. Note that only a couple of rooms fall within the moderate price category; most are considerably more expensive.

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). 

With no sign out front and a location on a quiet street a block from Roma's border with Condesa, this inviting oasis anchored by a restored two-story Porfirian mansion stands out for its lovely staff, delicious food, and tasteful balance between old-world elegance and modern convenience. Rooms in the main house retain their 20th-century architectural details, including high ceilings, but also feature wide-screen mounted TVs, individual climate control, and L'Occitane bath products; the larger suites, which are in a newer wing, have an even more contemporary feel. The filling full breakfast is included, but other meals are available for a charge.
