Noteable Amenities
Location
Hipster, for sure. But La Roma is one of the more happening neighborhoods in Mexico City. Salvador Dalí described it as 'more surrealist' than his paintings. So you get the idea. Think fabulous boutiques, independent coffee shops, tattoo parlors, and colorful rows of art deco mansions—among which you'll find La Valise.
Design
Initially built in the 1920s, the former French-style townhouse was renovated into a small yet tasteful boutique hotel. Roberto Ayala, head of design at Namron Hospitality, oversaw the interiors, pushing forward a style that celebrated the city's penchant for art and design.
The result was a harmonious blend of colors, materials, and objects. Guests can take delight in beautifully selected antiques, artwork, and artisanal goods—which are almost exclusively made in Mexico.
Rooms
La Valise houses three spacious suites that feel more like elegant apartments: El Patio, La Luna, and La Terraza.
Each is unique in its look yet offers the same level of comfort and sophistication. Expect king-sized beds, Nespresso machines, and Loredana toiletries.
Truthfully, La Terraza is our favorite, with its rolling bed that glides out onto the private terrace. Day or night, rest in the open air, taking in the sights of the streets below.
Food & Drink
There's no in-house restaurant, but should you wish, room service is provided courtesy of Rosetta, a favored spot just down the street that's headed by Chef Elena Reygadas.
If you're not dining in, Roma houses some of the best gastronomic experiences in the city, which are always worth rolling out of bed for (yes, even from La Terraza). Some recommendations include El Parnita and Abarrotes. But for more guidance, La Valise's concierge will equip you with some of the best insider intel.
