Colima 71 Art - Community - Hotel

The property has beautiful rooms and is strategically located in Roma Norte with a lot of great restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Would love to come back again when we're back in Mexico City.

Beautiful hotel with inspiring design. Very clean, with plenty of filtered and bottled water available. Wonderful and helpful staff. Great location (quiet and walking distance from great restaurants and bars in Roma Norte). The breakfast from Rosetta is clutch. I would highly recommend!

“The best hotel experience we’ve ever had,” said my wife last night as we ate some delicious elevated tacos at a place called Tinze just four blocks away, I couldn’t agree more. We’re veteran travelers who live in Los Angeles and Hawaii. Hawaii is paradise and there are some pretty amazing hotels there, but they pale in comparison to Colima 71, both in the stylish modern decor and the incredible service. In the same way that you can tell someone is lying when trying to sell you something you can tell when friendly service is mandated by restaurants and hotels. Not here. You can *feel* that every single person who works at Colima is happy to cater to your wishes. You can feel that they genuinely enjoy doing it. I mentioned the stylish digs. It’s not just that the rooms are incredibly well designed and built, all of the little details are first class. Like dishes and mugs, all fine pottery (we stayed in a suite so not sure the smaller rooms have this). The shower products (made with honey) we delicious. The linens and towels were fluffy and buttery-soft. The neighborhood also plays a big role. We were here for nine days and only twice did we get on an Uber to go to other neighborhoods (and the Ubers get here in about four minutes, FYI) simply because the area is chock-full-of shops, restaurants (from hole-in-the-wall places to full-on gourmet experiences) within a short walk. The only detriment is that we’ve eaten soooooo much while here that we worried about gaining weight. But with all the walking we’ve done plus the gym access the hotel gives you as part of your stay (eighteen-minute walk from here), I’ve actually lost three pounds. Go figure. What else? Breakfast is included and it comes from the best little bakery in the area (Rosetta); it’s delivered to your room at the time you request it. Most transactions happen via WhatsApp and it makes everything so smooth and easy. We’re already planning a return trip to the hotel—and hoping to bring friends. One recommendation: Pack a bit light. There’s a place just a block away where you can get your laundry done for cheap. That’ll leave room in your suitcase for all of the cute goodies nearby stores sell. Must-trys: Rosetta (the main restaurant—and make sure you order the bread with the ant-topped butter); Brujas, a witchcraft-themed bar where the all-witch female bartenders prepare boozy potions; Tinze for funky, unusual tacos; Maximo, for a fancy dinner. At one point we just stopped trying all the recommended places and just popped into whatever place looks cool and never did we have a crappy meal. I think Mexicans just don’t tolerate crappy food.
