Colima 71, Mexico City
Colima 71 is a sophisticated boutique “art community” hotel tucked away in Mexico City’s trendy Roma Norte neighborhood. Designed by the celebrated local architect Alberto Kalach, the property feels less like a traditional hotel and more like a curated, residential-style gallery. It masterfully blends contemporary architecture with natural materials like stone, wood, and metal to create a serene, minimalist retreat.
Art is at the very soul of the building. Guests are greeted by a striking lobby featuring large-scale photography by Iñaki Bonilla and a dramatic, suspended sculpture by Darío Escobar made from reclaimed bicycle tires. The design is deeply rooted in Mexican craftsmanship, with guest rooms featuring bespoke Oaxacan black clay dinnerware, handmade terrazzo tiles, and furniture that celebrates local creative talent.
The hotel encourages a “home away from home” experience through its communal spaces, including a quiet library, cozy reading nooks, and a central courtyard with a hand-carved stone fireplace. Instead of a standard restaurant, it offers a staffed coffee bar and an “honesty bar” stocked with premium mezcal and tequila, allowing guests to relax at their own pace.
Its location is perfect for exploring Roma Norte’s vibrant creative scene. You are just steps away from legendary spots like Panadería Rosetta and local cultural centers like Casa Lamm. Whether you are strolling down the tree-lined Avenida Álvaro Obregón or visiting nearby contemporary galleries, the hotel serves as an ideal, stylish base for soaking in the neighborhood’s unique energy.
Expert reviews

Contemporary, nicely located and expensive hotel
I liked that our room was quiet and large. Bed was comfortable. Hotel is located close to many nice restaurants, bars and cafes.
I did not like that the hotel wanted to charge U$S 100 for transport from the hotel to the international airport Benito Juarez, when an Uber costed only $8.59. I did not like that on top of a reasonably high price paid through Bookings, the hotel charged a $45 fee per day for no apparent reason.

Great hotel, great staff, great breakfast in a great location.
Great staff - really friendly and everyone makes you feel very much at home. The tamales at breakfast and the night sweets are amazing. Would definitely recommend.
The shower kept going from hot to cold randomly which was annoying.

Incredible, welcoming boutique hotel in the heart of Roma
We had the most wonderful stay at Colima! The staff truly makes you feel at home and the service was above and beyond. The interior is beautiful, the rooms spacious, the breakfast delicious. We will absolutely be staying here again next time we come to Mexico City. A perfect boutique hotel in the heart of Roma, near all the best shops and restaurants. Thank you to the entire staff at Colima- you are all wonderful!!!!
Really don't have too much feedback but since they don't have a restaurant on property, it would be nice to have snacks for purchase in the room or snacks with the honor bar downstairs in case guests want a quick snack (and not wait for room service). But you're surrounded by so many restaurants, it didn't bother us.

A gem in the city.
This property and staff exceeded all my expectations. From the moment you walk in to the beautiful spa like aroma and decor to the amazing staff. Everything was superb. I had forgotten that my reservation included a daily breakfast which we had delivered to our room. No need to fight the crowds to visit the famous Rosetta bakery, our breakfast included baked goods from there and wonderful food items from other places. The location is in a safe lovely neighborhood perfect for exploring. I highly recommend and will return!
There is a self service liquor bar (although the staff always helped us to make a drink), which could have been better stocked with options? Honestly though this is nitpicking as we still had lovely nightcap which we took up to our room.

My stay was absolute perfection. The front desk gals/staff were so friendly and warm. It just truly felt like home.
Everything about the property was absolutely beautiful and perfectly curated! I wanted everything for my own home.
There was nothing that I disliked about the property. It was perfectly intimate, which is exactly what I wanted.

Luxury in an oasis of calm
An oasis of tranquility in a bustling, interesting and safe neighbourhood. We stayed for five days and were greeted warmly when we arrived in the late evening, offered a welcome drink and were brought to our room. The room is spacious and can't be faulted. Everything was sparkly clean and well appointed. We were told the non alcoholic drinks in the mini bar were complimentary, a nice surprise. The housekeeping staff also leaves some nice surprises in the room each day which made us looking forward to returning to the room!
You're being asked to select your breakfast options for the next day. You can choose a main and a pastry with some drinks. The mains (avocado toast, tamales, yoghurt) were all lovely although admittedly we would have loved to have an option to have eggs in the morning. Breakfast is brought to the room which is a nice feature.
The staff is extremely helpful and nice, and the whole place is very inviting. There's a 24/7 coffee bar and we used the opportunity to get their lovely hot chocolate on two occasions quite late at night. The coffee is amazing as well.
We would recommend this place to anyone visiting Mexico city!

We loved our stay at Colima 71 and highly recommend it to others.
The staff was really personable and friendly. Stephani helped us arrange dinner reservations and activities in the city. The hotel was very clean, sleek, and modern. We loved the daily morning lattes/breakfast from Rosetta bakery. The honor bar and 24hr coffee bar were great touches to the hotel.
The coffee was a little watery. However the expresso lattes were great.
