Downtown México
17th-century palace with industrial architecture




Enjoying prime positioning, as the name would suggest, in central Mexico City's former Palacio de los Condes de Miravalle, Downtown merges the property’s colonial past with more modern, Mexican influences. The 17-room boutique hotel lives through the local culture, effortlessly blending a multitude of styles – from the vast Manuel Rodríguez Lozano fresco overlooking the lobby-cum-breakfast patio, to the red volcanic-rock walls and handmade cement tiling. Up on the roof, views of the historic centre from the open-air bar provide a serene counterpoint to the bustling, cobbled streets below.
