Hotel Habita
Style Modern minimalist classic
Setting Plush Polanco district
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.

Our favourite rooms
Opt for a room with a number ending in 1 if you fancy a bath tub big enough for two and a sitting room to call your own. For a large wrap-around balcony and twin queen-beds, go for one ending in 3. The main street can be busy, so for a quieter stay, ask to be put at the sides or rear of Hotel Habita.
Packing tips
Your Missoni bikini for mooching by the pool; ear plugs if you want an early night at the weekend.
Also
Habita’s fifth-floor spa soothes stresses with a menu of massage and facial treatments, including shiatsu, Chinese tui na massage, lymph system massage and reflexology.
