Hotel Habita

Mexico City, Mexico

With its whiter-than-white pared-down perfection, iconic rooftop pool, and devotion to comfort, Hotel Habita was at the designer vanguard of Mexico’s boutique hotel boom. Striking to the eye, it’s fronted with huge panels of frosted grass, with a haphazard pattern of clear strips hinting at the minimalism and luxury within.
