CASA
Fashion-forward minimalism grounded in Mexican craft. Think pale concrete, aged teak, rattan, and soft linens — more private members' club than traditional hotel. Low-key and quiet; no elevator, no pool, no restaurant.
Request breakfast the night before so the team brings enough pastries from the local bakery — it's not automatic.
Why It Matters
Awarded One MICHELIN Key and featured on the Condé Nast Traveller Hot List 2021. One of very few hotels in CDMX that functions as a genuine design object — the architecture is by PPAA, a studio whose work is regularly covered by Dezeen and ArchDaily. Rooms are individually decorated using pieces from Mexican artisan brands and linens from Octavia's own homeware collection.
Octavia Casa is a six-room boutique hotel in Mexico City's Condesa neighborhood, born from the Octavia women's fashion label. Designer Roberta Maceda commissioned architect Pablo Pérez Palacios and his PPAA firm to translate the brand's minimalist DNA into a three-dimensional space — the result is a concrete-and-teak building wrapped in slatted teak lattices, with chukum-plastered walls, reeded glass catwalks, and a lush internal courtyard anchored by a guava tree. Six rooms, each named after a natural material (Lino, Bronce, Roca, Yute, Tierra, Nogal), furnishings by Mexican designers Onora, Encrudo, and Ente, and a guest-only rooftop for Bichi wine at sunset.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The hotel can arrange a reliable airport pickup service for an additional cost and subject to availability. Benito Juárez International Airport is approximately 45 minutes away by car.
Morning breakfast served in the open-air gravel courtyard beneath a guava tree. Locally sourced baked goods, hibiscus-and-ginger jam, charcuterie, fruit juices. Must be requested the previous evening.
Staff compile personalized neighborhood guides and lists of restaurants, galleries, and experiences before guests arrive. They also book restaurants, arrange drivers, and coordinate tours — including day trips to Teotihuacán. Not a formal service, but consistently praised as the hotel's standout feature.

The guest-only rooftop is Octavia Casa's social anchor. Grab a glass of natural Bichi wine from Baja California Norte and settle in as the city turns golden. Reserved exclusively for guests, so it stays genuinely relaxed.
