As the vibrant capital of Mexico, Mexico City continues to captivate visitors with its eclectic mix of history, culture, and modernity. The Hamak Hotels hospitality collection is set to enhance this allure with the opening of Casona Roma Norte, scheduled for October 1, 2024. This boutique hotel, housed in a refurbished mansion dating back to 1923, stands as a testament to architectural grandeur and thoughtful restoration. Following its acquisition by Rodolfo Roth in the 1990s, the property has undergone meticulous renovations that honor its Belle Époque roots while incorporating contemporary design sensibilities, executed by Colonnier Arquitectos and Simple Arquitectura.
Casona Roma Norte is not just a place to stay; it’s an immersive experience in art and culture. Guests are greeted by a stunning display of artistic expressions from both local and international talents, strategically placed throughout the premises. From the opulent rooms to the inviting hallways and the bustling reception area, the hotel’s art collection transforms every inch into a visual spectacle. Each of the 32 intricately designed rooms is complemented by marble-clad bathrooms, promising guests luxurious comfort infused with artistic elegance.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, Casona Roma Norte is committed to sustainability and local craftsmanship. Guests can indulge in organic in-room amenities that are thoughtfully crafted by Mexican artisans. This approach highlights not only the rich culture of Mexico but also promotes awareness and support for local communities.
Dining at Casona Roma Norte is an exploration of flavors that mirrors the hotel’s dedication to quality and creativity. The establishment features six distinct food and beverage venues, each designed to offer a unique culinary journey. One standout is Suchi Nipona, which artfully combines Japanese culinary techniques with the coastal flavors of Sinaloa. Guests can pair their dishes with locally sourced sake, creating a tantalizing fusion of tastes.
Additionally, Akamba presents an extensive selection of national spirits, including mezcal and tequila, and offers custom cocktails designed by a Mexican Spirits Master Concierge. Each sip embodies the rich heritage of Mexican distillation traditions. On the other hand, Aquiles offers comfort food that highlights the seasonal bounty of local produce, ensuring that every meal is both fresh and delightful.
The variety doesn’t stop there; Matcha Saloon by La Macaria brings a unique blend of a traditional Japanese tea room atmospheric with the deliciousness of Mexican pastries. For those looking for a more sophisticated ambiance, The Mirror Speakeasy presents a luxurious fusion of global culinary influences within an Art Deco setting. Finally, Holden Rooftop rounds out the offerings with flame-grilled specialties, providing a perfect backdrop to enjoy scenic views of the Mexico City skyline.
Casona Roma Norte promises to be a treasure trove of cultural experiences, culinary adventures, and luxurious accommodations that are not only a feast for the senses but also a celebration of Mexico’s vibrant heritage. With its grand opening on the horizon, it is poised to become a must-visit destination for travelers seeking a unique and enriching stay in Mexico City.
