Downtown Mexico - 17th-Century Colonial Mansion with Rooftop Pool in UNESCO Heritage Site

Located in Centro Histórico, this 5-star Mexico City hotel occupies one of the area's oldest viceregal residences. Downtown Mexico features 17 rooms with high ceilings and traditional tiled floors, divided between king- and queen-sized accommodations facing an interior patio and suites with street views and bathtubs. The property showcases ornate window detailing, stone-forge staircases with intricate handrails, volcanic rock walls, and handmade cement tiles. A leafy garden-patio forms the building's heart, while the rooftop houses a pool, bar, and yellow sun loungers overlooking downtown's domes and steeples. The ground floor hosts Azul Histórico restaurant, serving international cuisine and Oaxacan moles. Downtown Mexico stands 0.5 miles from Metropolitan Cathedral and 0.5 miles from Templo Mayor Museum. The 24-hour reception arranges airport transfers, car rentals, and excursions.
