This Mexico City Hotel Is in a Trendy, Walkable Neighborhood—With a Heated Rooftop Pool and a Dog-friendly Beer Garden.
Located in Mexico City’s hip La Condesa neighborhood, Andaz Mexico City Condesa offers sleek, art deco-inspired design and cozy rooms in the heart of the capital city.
There are many sides to Mexico City. There’s its Historic Center, upscale Polanco, the colorful canals of Xochimilco, and, of course, trendy La Condesa. With an abundance of cute mom-and-pop taco stands, Instagram-worthy cafes, boutique shops, and fashionable locals on every corner, it’s no wonder why this area has become a favorite among in-the-know travelers.
Just off a busy intersection on a tree-lined street is Andaz Mexico City Condesa, which is perhaps just as cool as the neighborhood it’s located in. Sited within a historic art deco building created by José Galán (who was influenced by another Mexican architectural icon, Luis Barragán), the hotel has kept many of its original features, including its eye-catching tile floors and mosaic murals. The interiors are a photo-ready celebration of round corners, modern design, and bold colors, including Andaz’s signature pink escalators.
The building has two hotels, the Andaz and Mondrian Mexico City Condesa. The two properties intertwine seamlessly, sharing a handful of common spaces. But those exclusive to Andaz have truly been made their own and echo their chic surroundings. There’s a vibrant courtyard lush with plants, an art deco-inspired cafe often filled with locals working on their laptops, and multiple rooftop hangouts.
But perhaps Andaz’s biggest strength is its location. Staying here puts you within walking distance (and La Condesa is very walkable) of countless delicious eateries, trendy shops, and bustling craft cocktail bars. If you’re feeling especially adventurous, the historic neighborhood of La Roma is about a 20-minute walk away.
Andaz Mexico City Condesa has 213 rooms, and guests can choose from options ranging from a unit with two double beds with city views to the spacious, 926-square-foot Executive Suite. I stayed in a King room, which had an impressive skyline and mountain vistas.
The guest room design is sleek, modern, and heavily influenced by Galán’s original work, blending art deco touches with Andaz’s signature pink embellishments. There are also thoughtful touches like an in-room Victrola record player, a curated selection of records, and custom art. The result is accommodations that are effortlessly cool—it fits right in with the hip vibes of La Condesa.
