Hotel Habita
Urban minimalist — glass, light, and deliberate restraint. Modernist architecture meets Mexican contemporary art. The crowd is design-literate and cosmopolitan.
Book the Junior Suite if size matters — at 34 sqm with its own living area and soaking tub, it's a different hotel from the Superior Queen
Why It Matters
The hotel that launched Grupo Habita and put design-forward boutique hospitality on the map in Mexico City. Its frosted glass façade by TEN Arquitectos is an architectural landmark on Polanco's most prestigious avenue. A Design Hotels™ and Marriott Bonvoy member since opening.
Hotel Habita opened in 2000 as Mexico City's first contemporary design hotel, and it still turns heads on Masaryk. The five-story structure — a converted 1950s apartment block — is encased in a sheath of frosted glass by TEN Arquitectos (Enrique Norten and Bernardo Gómez-Pimienta), which glows like a paper lantern at night and shifts like a block of ice during the day. Inside, 36 rooms strip everything back to a bed, Eames chairs, and a cantilevered glass plane serving as a desk, while original art by Jan Hendrix and Silvia Gruner keeps it from feeling sterile. The rooftop pool and bar with panoramic city views is the unambiguous highlight.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Deluxe King
At 32 sqm, a comfortable and well-proportioned room. The large terrace looks out over one of Mexico City's most important avenues — a proper street-level view of Masaryk. Modern and minimalist design, with rain shower, minibar, and the full suite of amenities. Double occupancy.
King · 32 sqm
Deluxe Twin
Also 32 sqm, same modern minimalist treatment as the Deluxe King. The bathroom comes with a soaking tub — a nice touch at this tier. Terrace overlooks Rue La Martine rather than Masaryk. Can accommodate a third guest at additional cost, making it the best pick for solo travelers or pairs who don't want to share a bed.
Twin · 32 sqm
Junior Suite
The largest room in the hotel at 34 sqm, and the one worth upgrading to if your budget allows. There's a proper sitting area separate from the sleeping zone, plus a spacious bathroom with a soaking tub. The large terrace floods the room with daylight all day. Modern, minimalist design throughout — nothing extraneous.
34 sqm
Superior Queen
The entry-level room at 20 sqm — functional, well-designed, and genuinely small. There's a work desk, all the standard amenities, and the same clean minimalist aesthetic as the rest of the hotel. Good for a solo traveler or a couple who plans to spend most of their time out in the city rather than in the room.
