Casona Roma Norte

Style

Arty Twenties mansion

Setting

Norte but nice

Casona Roma Norte is a rare thing indeed — a pastel-pink historic mansion that strikes a fine balance between the modish and the mellow, with kooky local art and colorful handwoven textiles complemented by ambient, calming interiors. Designed in the 1920s as an art nouveau home for high society, it’s now a temple to creativity — with three inventive restaurants, a rooftop speakeasy, and a tasting room dedicated to all things agave. Right outside, Mexico City’s buzziest neighborhoods unfold before you…

Our Favourite Rooms

Every room at Casona Roma Norte has its own charms, but our pick would be 212, a Superior King on the second floor with a high, original brick ceiling and Juliet balcony looking out on all the happenings of Calle Cozumel below.

Spa

The Relax Room is a single pod holistic spa, with a treatment menu featuring aromatherapy, deep tissue massage and a jetlag-countering signature treatment, the Time Zone Reset.

Packing Tips

Just make sure you fly with a good amount of hold luggage — with 50 types of local spirits in the tasting room, you’re going to want to take liquids home…

Gallery

Food & Drink

Top Table

Take centre stage in the open-top atrium (it’s handy for the bar, too), ideally facing the row of plants and James Bullough’s monumental mural.

Código de vestimenta

Neutral linens and rough cotton, for reclining on the rattan cane chairs.

Hotel Restaurant

The main restaurant is Casona Restaurant. From morning till night it serves delicate plates of fresh, organic food, ranging from homemade bread with lavender butter and creamy jocoque cheese, to soul-warming chicken soup and rich, nutty black mole. Mix it up at Suchi, the hotel’s irreverent mash-up of Mexican and Japanese cuisine, named for Culichis, the sushi-mad inhabitants of Culiacan, on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Sumo wrestlers and Lucha Libre legends vie for attention on the walls, but the real stars are the plates, including the Oaxaca-California roll with chipotle and marlin pâté, and succulent prawns in Dorito breadcrumb (it works, trust us). For pastries and cakes as good as they look, head to La Macaria, the matcha-focused tea room with tree-stump stools under a ceiling of origami swans.

Hotel Bar

For a rooftop drink, head up Holden, and take your pick from a menu featuring Auyama Spritz (courgette flower cordial with amaretto and sparkling wine), Bésame Mucho (with tequila and Bailey’s) and the house margarita. Alternatively, stake out late-night speakeasy The Mirror, or stick to the airy downstairs bar at Casona. For tasting any of 50 or so Mexican small-batch spirits, book in at Akamba, the hotel’s shrine dedicated to all things agave.

Last Orders

At Casona, breakfast is from 7am to noon, lunch is from noon to 5pm, and dinner is from 5pm to 11pm. Suchi is open 1pm–11pm (closed Mondays), and Akamba’s hours are 4pm until 11pm. Holden stays open till 1am, and the cocktails flow till 3am at The Mirror.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Casona Roma Norte is between Roma Norte and La Condesa, two intriguing neighborhoods packed with creative spirit, culinary delights, and ogle-worthy architecture. To the east, hang out with the locals by the fountains of Plaza Rio de Janeiro, then stroll along Calles Durango, Colima and Tabasco, taking in independent boutiques such as 180° Shop for clothing and jewellery by Mexican designers, Happening Store for pottery and homeware, and El Jugador Numero 12 for vintage sportswear. Find creative inspiration at the MODO Museo del Objeto design museum, and marvel at the murals around Plaza de Romita – a sleepy historic square built on the site of the Aztec settlement, Atzacoalco. To the south, explore leafy Parque Mexico, join a dance class at Foro Lindbergh, and take a turn around the leafy, gallery-lined Avenida Amsterdam. And to the west, select cruelty-free and calendula-infused cosmetics at For All Folks, hunt for designer treasures at Armario Comunal thrift shop, and climb up to Chapultepec Castle for stellar views of its namesake forest and the city below.
