The New Yorker’s Guide to Roma Norte:

A Curated Handbook for the Sophisticated Traveler

For the traveler who has mastered the streets of the West Village, Shoreditch, or the Plateau, arriving in Roma Norte feels like a homecoming of sorts. It isn't just the eclectic architecture or the jacaranda-lined avenues; it is the palpable energy of a neighborhood that has matured without losing its creative edge. But let’s be honest: in a district that has become the global epicenter of "cool," the difference between a generic experience and a transformative one lies entirely in where you choose to wake up.

If you are seeking a luxury stay in Roma Norte, Mexico City, look past the corporate giants. Here, luxury isn't shouted; it is whispered through textures, art curation, and architecture that breathes. Welcome to your new residence on Colima Street: Colima 71 Art Design Hotel.

The Art of Inhabiting: The Alberto Kalach Legacy

At Colima 71, we believe design isn't just an aesthetic choice—it is a form of hospitality. Our building is a masterpiece of signature design by Mexico’s most renowned architect, Alberto Kalach. For the discerning eye, his touch is unmistakable: the masterful play of natural light, the integration of honest materials like concrete and timber, and a fluid layout that bridges the privacy of the interior with the pulse of the street.

This is more than a hotel; it is a structure that pays homage to Mexico’s refined brutalism. Walking through our corridors, you don’t feel like you’re in a transient lobby, but rather in the private residence of a seasoned art collector. Art as a vehicle for connection is our backbone, showcasing pieces that dialogue with the city’s contemporary identity.

Roma Norte: A Destination of Charm for the Global Nomad

Roma Norte isn’t a place you visit; it’s a place you inhabit. For the digital nomad seeking depth over a stable Wi-Fi connection, this neighborhood offers an inexhaustible ecosystem of inspiration. Just steps from our door, you’ll find a destination of charm where blue-chip contemporary art galleries sit alongside ceramic studios and rare bookshops.

The Coffee Ritual and the Perfect Morning

Forget the commercial guides. As local experts, we suggest starting your morning with a specialty coffee ritual. Mexico City is undergoing a sensory revolution, and Roma is its laboratory.

  • Insider Recommendation: Grab an espresso at Panadería Rosetta—just down the street—to witness how simplicity becomes the ultimate sophistication. At Colima 71, our own coffee bar is designed to be the social hearth where the day’s expeditions are planned.

Signature Cuisine and Non-Traditional Gastronomy

The New York or Toronto traveler is already well-versed in white-tablecloth fine dining. What you seek in CDMX is signature cuisine that feels personal. Roma Norte is home to chefs who are redefining Mexican identity without falling into folkloric clichés.

  • The Icons: From the peerless seafood at Contramar to the conscious experimentation at Máximo, the culinary landscape is an extension of the neighborhood's creativity.
  • The Local Touch: What truly defines a destination of charm are those hidden natural wine bars and contemporary bistros known only to locals. At Colima 71, we believe in a seamless, elevated immersion. Through our Enhance your stay feature, we curate bespoke experiences that grant you access to the city’s best-kept secrets

The Concept of Discreet Luxury: Feeling at Home

In a world of constant overstimulation, the ultimate luxury is privacy and silence. Our rooms are designed under the premise of local warmth. We want the city’s hustle to dissolve into an atmosphere of serenity the moment you close your door.

  • Contemporary Design: Think clean lines, handcrafted textiles, and a color palette that invites rest.
  • Cultural Exchange: Every corner of Colima 71 invites connection. Whether you’re chatting with fellow travelers in our central patio or losing yourself in a book in our library, we foster an environment where ideas flow freely.
