This hotel in a 19th-century mansion is a great place to stop for a spell. The concept? Nine rooms individually themed around artists from Mexico’s La Ruptura movement (an abstract reaction to the 20th-century muralists); hence the Tamayo room (with a curvaceous metallic bathtub), the Friedeberg room (a trippy patchwork of blinding surrealism) or the energetically blue Soriano room.
All mod cons (but no parking) are assured and the popular Café Chai chain has an outlet with patio seating on the 1st floor – handy for breakfast or a late-night beer and enchiladas.
