La Valise Mexico City

Each of the eight suites is different but all have a bold sense of place. Interiors are rich in natural textures – polished concrete, wood, leather, linen – and beautifully layered with curated artworks and design details that draw on Mexican history and artisanal craft. There's a strong sense of curation throughout: from the handwoven textiles to the ceramics and books on the shelves, everything feels meaningful and considered.

We stayed in Cilene, arguably the hotel’s signature suite. Its most remarkable feature is a bed that glides out onto a private terrace at the touch of a button – letting you literally sleep under the stars. The terrace also includes an al fresco soaking tub and a small dining set-up for breakfasts or late-night snacks.

Other suites range in size. Smaller ones still feel spacious thanks to high ceilings and big windows, while more generous-sized suites are ideal for longer stays, with writing desks and living areas. Several feature in-room projectors with screen set-ups for late-night film watching – and all come with plush beds, rainfall showers and bespoke toiletries.

You won’t find a restaurant here but food isn’t an afterthought. Breakfast is served to your suite each morning, and it’s a real highlight: freshly brewed coffee, seasonal fruit, cold-pressed juice, creamy yogurt with granola, and a daily selection of pastries that are as flaky and buttery as anything you’d find in a boulangerie.

At other mealtimes, the hotel team can help you arrange delivery from local restaurants, all carefully selected. On our first night, we ordered dim sum from a nearby bar, which was delivered straight to our door. You can also stop by the on-site La Valise Café which offers a rotating menu of light bites, drinks and sweet treats.

Sustainability is a core part of the hotel group’s ethos. From energy-efficient lighting and water conservation practices to sourcing local materials and supporting regional artisans, the team is focused on reducing their footprint and deepening their community ties.

Plastic usage is kept to a minimum. All rooms feature refillable toiletries in handmade vessels, and furniture is made from mostly reclaimed or sustainably sourced materials. Even the design choices speak to a more conscious way of travelling – celebrating cultural heritage and craftsmanship rather than mass-produced luxury.
