A stylish option located in the charming neighbourhood of La Condesa
Nestled amid the historic streets of Colonia Condesa, the Hotel Condesa DF effortlessly weaves into the bohemian tapestry of its historic surroundings.
Situated on a tree-lined avenue, this hotel harmoniously combines modern design within the grandeur of a French neoclassical structure dating back to 1928. Renowned Parisian interior designer India Mahdavi has lent her creative touch, from bespoke furniture to the exquisite stone tiles that adorn the space.
The hotel's 40 rooms, including 16 suites, showcase a blend of contemporary aesthetics and the simplicity reminiscent of monastic dormitories. The result is a tranquil atmosphere, with some rooms opening onto wooden terraces that offer a breath of fresh air. A subtle floral theme, accentuated by details like cushion covers, contributes to an inviting and relaxed ambiance.
Colonia Condesa, often likened to New York's Soho, stands as one of Mexico City's most modern districts, serving as a bridge between the historic neighbourhoods of Condesa and Roma. With its time-worn colonial architecture, chic cosmopolitan venues, and verdant parks boasting tropical flora, Condesa beckons both locals and foreigners to experience its vibrant and ever-changing urban life.
Within the hotel's confines lies El Patio restaurant, a culinary haven marrying Mexican and French flavours. Located in the central patio and surrounded by lush greenery, Chef Antonio Balderas crafts seasonal dishes with a distinct French technique. The acclaimed Sunday brunch, featuring a varied gastronomic repertoire, has become a key event for both Condesa residents and visitors.
For breathtaking vistas of Parque España and Chapultepec Castle, The Terrace beckons. This triangular haven stands out with meticulous design, exceptional mixology, and a top-notch sushi bar led by Japanese chef Keisuke Harada. His menu artfully blends Japanese culinary traditions with subtle Mexican influences, offering a delightful fusion that complements the hotel's cosmopolitan charm.

January
In January, Mexico experiences pleasant weather with mild temperatures across many regions. It's an excellent time to explore historical sites such as Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan, enjoy water sports along the coastlines, and partake in cultural festivities like the Day of the Three Kings. Be sure to visit Mexico City's museums and savour Mexican cuisine.
February
February brings delightful weather to Mexico, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities. Enjoy sunny days with comfortable temperatures perfect for exploring archaeological sites like Tulum and Palenque. Experience the vibrant festivities of Carnaval in Mazatlán or Veracruz. Head to the stunning beaches of Riviera Maya or Baja California for snorkelling, diving, or simply relaxing.
March
Like January and February, March in Mexico offers pleasant weather and abundant opportunities for exploration. Still a great time to visit the ancient ruins of Chichen Itza or Monte Albán, bask in the sunshine along the pristine beaches of Cancun or Puerto Vallarta, and immerse yourself in the lively celebrations of Semana Santa (Holy Week). March is also an excellent time for outdoor activities like hiking, zip-lining, and exploring Mexico's diverse ecosystems, from the thriving jungles to the crystal-clear cenotes.
April
The beautiful sunny weather continues in April in Mexico. Explore the impressive Mayan ruins of Tulum or Coba and soak up the sun on the beaches of Playa del Carmen or Los Cabos. It's an ideal time for snorkelling or diving in the stunning coral reefs of Cozumel or exploring the natural wonders of Copper Canyon.
May
Explore the ancient Mayan city of Chichen Itza or venture into the deep jungles of Palenque. Relax on the pristine beaches of Playa del Carmen or Tulum and enjoy water activities like snorkelling or surfing. Join in with the vibrant Cinco de Mayo celebrations, highlighting Mexican culture and history. May is also a great time for eco-adventures and exploring biosphere reserves.
June
In June, Mexico experiences warm weather with regional variations. Coastal areas such as Cancun and Puerto Vallarta boast balmy temperatures perfect for beach activities and water sports. June marks the beginning of the rainy season in many parts of Mexico, including the Yucatan Peninsula and Pacific Coast. Expect occasional showers and increased humidity. In contrast, central and northern regions, like Mexico City and Guadalajara, enjoy milder temperatures and lower chances of rain.
July
July is part of Mexico’s rainy season. Beaches are humid and muggy so if you choose to travel at this time, make sure to plan ways to escape the humidity. However, there is a silver lining to visiting Mexico in July. Due to the less-than-perfect weather, you may find that prices for accommodations and other travel-related services tend to be more affordable. Visit Oaxaca to attend the Guelaguetza festival in July.
August
The hottest month of the year in some parts of Mexico, if you’re visiting at this time, plan water sports and beach activities to cool off. The Yucatan Peninsula and Pacific Coast have warm temperatures with occasional showers and high humidity. Central Mexico encounters warm temperatures with intermittent rainfall. Northern Mexico has hot and dry weather, while the Baja California Peninsula enjoys warm and dry conditions.
September
In September, expect wet weather in Mexico. Pack a rain jacket and water-resistant shoes. It's the slowest month for tourism, resulting in reduced hotel and travel prices. Take advantage of deals from high-end resorts. Maximize your time with city exploration, beach getaways, ruins tours, and museum visits. Maybe celebrate Mexican Independence Day in September in one of the major cities. Embrace the varied experiences Mexico offers during this time of the year.
October
: In October, Mexico's weather varies, with some regions still experiencing rain as the rainy season continues. However, temperatures gradually decrease, making it more comfortable to explore. October is ideal for city visits and major attractions due to milder weather. Enjoy sightseeing, whether it's natural or cultural attractions, as rain becomes less frequent and humidity drops, allowing for easier exploration and participation in activities.
November
November is highly recommended for visiting Mexico, as it coincides with the vibrant Day of the Dead celebrations (Nov 1-2). Witness ancestral tributes, picnics, and all-night vigils honoring the souls. The festivities blend a macabre touch with candy and skeleton figurines. Enjoy pleasant weather and exciting celebrations. Look for affordable flights and explore popular cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Cancun during the off-season.
December
In December, Mexico's climate varies across regions. The north enjoys mild temperatures, while the south experiences higher temperatures. Additionally, there is little to no rainfall between December and April, making it an ideal time to visit. Take advantage of the fine weather to explore vibrant cities and spend a weekend in a beach town. Remember to pack a jacket or scarf as cool evenings are common throughout the country during this time of year.
