Colonia Roma: Where History Meets Modern Cool

Welcome to Colonia Roma, the beating heart of Mexico City’s artistic soul! Picture this: tree-lined streets adorned with architectural gems—Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Neo-Colonial facades standing side by side. Roma is a captivating district nestled just west of the city’s historic center, where history dances cheek-to-cheek with modern vibrancy. Let’s take a stroll through its enchanting streets and uncover the magic that awaits. A Glimpse into the Past
Colonia Roma’s story begins centuries ago. Imagine a shallow part of Lake Texcoco, dotted with tiny islands during the pre-Hispanic era. Fast forward to the colonial period, and the area transformed from marshlands to rural lands owned by Hernán Cortés and the Counts of Miravalle. But it was in the late 19th and early 20th centuries that Roma truly blossomed. Wealthy residents sought refuge from the city center’s deterioration, and thus, this “aristocratic” enclave emerged. Mansions, elegant and European, graced the streets, and Roma reveled in its heyday until the 1940s

Located in a vintage building this 2BR is a perfect base to explore la Roma.
