2 Best Hotels in Roma, Mexico City

This somewhat unassuming art deco--style town house beside famed Panadería Rosetta is considered one of the neighborhood's lodging gems, thanks to its chic yet unfussy modern design, abundance of peaceful common terraces (including a gorgeous roof deck), and desirable location. Rooms are done in earthy tones and have sleek tiled bathrooms, soft bedding, and art, fabrics, and many accessories created by Mexican artisans. On the ground floor, restaurant Sesame serves tasty Pan-Asian food, and there are dozens of stellar restaurants just steps away. Many rooms have large balconies, and three of them are accessed via a dramatic yellow three-story spiral staircase.

One of the most alluring of the several posh, intimate B&Bs that occupy stately Porfirian-era mansions in Roma, this 1913 house has been enlarged with a dramatic glass-and-metal contemporary addition that encircles a peaceful courtyard with a living wall, cactus garden, and fountain that functions as social focal point—and is also just a wonderfully relaxing place to read or relax. The softy lit, casually chic rooms have sumptuous beds and bathrooms, and rates include an artfully presented breakfast as well as an evening cocktail hour.
