Casona Roma Norte, Mexico City

Slip through a wrought-iron gate and into a century-old mansion where patterned tile cools your feet and the scent of orange blossom drifts in from a pocket courtyard. 

In the heart of Roma Norte, this 32-room boutique retreat keeps the city’s hum at arm’s length—high ceilings, carved doors, and sunlit salons dressed in contemporary Mexican art. 

It’s a graceful pause between mezcal bars, galleries, and leafy plazas.

What Makes It Special

• Historic mansion bones—restored stucco, herringbone wood, and antique ironwork.
• Boutique scale (32 keys)—attentive, personal, never hurried.
• Leafy courtyards & rooftop nooks for slow breakfasts or golden-hour cocktails.
• Taste of Mexico City—local ceramics, artisan textiles, and regionally sourced flavors.

A Day at Casona Roma Norte

Morning

Sun spills through shuttered windows; a tray arrives with press coffee and pan dulce still warm. Wander to the courtyard where birds chatter in jacarandas and chilaquiles arrive bright with salsa verde and queso fresco.

Afternoon

Step out to Colima and Álvaro Obregón for galleries and boutiques; pause for a tuna-lime agua fresca. Back “home,” siesta on a linen-draped chaise as a ceiling fan whispers above.

Evening

Mezcal at sunset on the rooftop—smoky, citrusy, with a hint of pepper—before a stroll to a neighborhood cocina for blue-corn quesadillas and market-fresh ceviche.

Night

Return to quiet corridors and a courtyard perfumed with night-blooming jasmine; draw a bath and let the city’s distant saxophone fade to hush.

Insider Tips for Casona Roma Norte

• Avoid driving or taking Ubers during peak hours (7–10 am & 5–8 pm)—traffic can be slow and unpredictable.
• Bring your own reusable water bottle—Mexico City’s tap water isn’t drinkable, but purified water dispensers are often available nearby.
• Rooms have fans or A/C; open windows on cooler nights for natural airflow.
• Larger rooms exist—if you want extra space, ask before booking or request an upgrade on arrival.
• Breakfast is highly recommended—freshly made, locally inspired, and served either on the terrace or the rooftop.
