“An oblong spiral stairwell with a sleek wood and metal railing leads to the 19 guest rooms, each featuring coral-hued walls, wood furnishings by Mexico City-based studio La Metropolitana, and bedside lighting from Oaxaca-based studio Oaxifornia.”

“The Mexico City neighborhood of Condesa has more than a few very fine homegrown boutique hotels, but in this cosmopolitan corner of this famously international city a luxury boutique hotel by the Texas-based Bunkhouse group is a welcome addition.”

“Just steps from the Condesa neighborhood’s jacaranda-lined Parque Mexico, Hotel San Fernando is a tucked-away boutique hotel button-holed between a natural wine bar and a café.”

“Check-in, and you’ll be presented with an (actual) key to your room, as well as a drink ticket to be redeemed at the Lounge Fernando—the hotel’s restaurant and bar. Walk over to the bar at opening time, and you’ll be rewarded by the smoky, herbaceous scent of palo santo being wafted by the bartender and the glow of taper candles jutting from a ceramic cactus at the far end of the counter. “

“Hotel San Fernando is located in the Condesa neighbourhood of Mexico City, a largely residential zone that in recent years has seen an influx of national and international travelers.”

“Opened just a few months ago – in June 2023, to be more precise – and located in one of the most traditional neighborhoods in the Mexican capital, La Condesa , the Hotel San Fernando has established itself as a hotspot among true connoisseurs.”

“The rooftop bar is the spot for guests to enjoy breakfast and there is a street-facing salon for sipping a rosa mexicana and watching the city go by.”

“On its exterior, the recently opened Hotel San Fernando in Mexico City’s colorful La Condesa neighborhood boasts a cool mint green—but inside it’s the half-pink walls that lure visitors to book one of the 19 guest rooms in the former apartment building.”

“While the peaceful rooftop terrace is reserved exclusively for the use of guests during breakfast, the lobby bar and lounge is always open to the public, offering coffee and pastries by day, and a curated menu of snacks, wine and specialty cocktails in the afternoon and evening, which can also be enjoyed on the roof.”

“Guests are not really there to spend time in their room, of course; we know that. But it does make you feel like you have a lovely respite to charge your phone, take a nice little nap, and then get back out into the amazing streets and explore.”

“The welcoming ground floor lounge comes with outdoor seating and is very much a social hub, albeit one with culinary perks as coffee and pastries are served here during the day, and a selection of small bites, ranging from sandwiches and salads to cheese and charcuterie boards, alongside a selection of natural wines and cocktails in the afternoons and evenings.”

“On the rooftop level, the Terrazza Suites are one of four styles comprising the hotel’s 19 guestrooms, many of which feature kitchenettes for apartment-style lounging.”

“Architecturally, the building draws from the anti-traditional elegance of the Art Deco era. Simple volumes and ornamental elements reflect an admiration for the industrial.”

“Stay near the action at the Condesa neighborhood’s hip new Hotel San Fernando, where a rooftop lounge and 19 rooms decorated with local textiles in a converted Art Deco apartment building.”

“Plum-colored archways border a sage green lobby, from which guests ascend a spiral stairwell to reach the rooms.”

“In a 1947 building that originally housed apartments, the hotel will valorize original architectural details like encasement windows, encaustic tile floors, wainscoting, and stained glass, while adding clean-lined furnishings, textiles, and decor by local makers, as well as color-blocked walls and plants.”

“The neighborhood is home to both Parque México and Parque España, as well as a short walk away from the Bosque de Chapultepec, the city’s largest green space. And out of all the neighborhoods in Mexico City, Condesa is receiving the most investment in terms of hospitality.”
