Where to Stay in Mexico City:
Snowy mornings, gray skylines, and endless commutes—if that sounds familiar, it may be time to swap routine for something far more inspiring. For Canadian travelers craving creativity, warmth, and wonder, few places offer as compelling a change of scenery as Mexico City.
With its world-class museums, independent galleries, and modernist architecture, the Mexican capital has emerged as a cultural mecca, and Roma Norte, its most artistic heart, is the perfect place to start. Whether you’re an artist, architect, or curious traveler, here’s why Mexico City should be your next art-driven escape.
Imagine waking up on a tree-lined street, where restored 20th-century mansions house contemporary art spaces, concept cafés, and bookstores that double as cultural salons. Welcome to Roma Norte.
More than just a neighborhood, Roma Norte is a canvas of culture and creativity. This district offers a mix of heritage and modernity, from the classic charm of Parque España to avant-garde design stores like Studio IMA or LAGO. It's also home to art galleries like OMR, Kurimanzutto, and House of Gaga—each presenting Mexico's most innovative artistic voices.
And the best part? You’ll find all of this just steps from Colima 71, your boutique hotel in Roma, Mexico City, designed with cultural travelers in mind.
Forget what you know about cityscapes. Mexico City architecture is an experience in itself. The capital showcases a rich interplay of styles—from colonial cathedrals and art deco buildings to bold modernism and experimental contemporary designs.
Explore the works of Luis Barragán, Mexico’s most iconic architect, whose poetic use of color and light has captivated global design lovers. Visit Casa Gilardi or the Casa Estudio Luis Barragán—both must-sees for anyone who appreciates architectural emotion.
Want more inspiration? Head to the Museo Jumex and Museo Tamayo—two architectural marvels that house some of Latin America's most important contemporary art collections.
Looking for flights from Toronto to Mexico City? You're in luck. Airlines like Air Canada, Aeroméxico, and WestJet offer daily nonstop routes that bring you from the 6ix to the vibrant Mexican capital in under five hours.
With mild weather all year round and zero need to pack your parka, your creative adventure begins the moment you land.
Trade the drizzle for design. With direct flights from Vancouver to Mexico City via Aeroméxico or Air Canada, the journey is as easy as it is exciting. Whether you're flying solo or bringing your creative crew, the Mexican capital is only a few hours—and a few degrees—away.
Calling all Montrealers: It’s time to add a little more color to your cultural calendar. Daily flights from Montreal to Mexico City (operated by Air Canada and Aeroméxico) make the transition from French elegance to Mexican soul effortless. Think less snow, more sun—and an entire city waiting to inspire you.
If you’re leaving behind Calgary’s brisk winters, prepare for a total aesthetic shift. With direct flights from Calgary to Mexico City, travelers can swap snowy skylines for tree-filled boulevards, modern art spaces, and craft mezcal under the stars.
In a city as dynamic as this, location is everything. A boutique hotel in Mexico City gives you access to the pulse of culture while offering a space to unwind, reflect, and reconnect.
