Six-room guesthouse in Roma Norte, held as a secret among insiders.
Casa Izeba
From
382.269 €
“Six rooms only, spread across a 1920s residence at the corner of Colima and Orizaba.”
Casa Izeba occupies a 1920s townhouse in Roma Norte, and we quickly understand why the six rooms book up weeks ahead. The volumes are generous, high-ceilinged, with original parquet and contemporary Mexican furniture (dark wood, Oaxaca textiles, artisanal ceramics). Light pours through the large sash windows, softened by linen curtains. The restaurant occupies the ground floor, opening onto a patio planted with tree ferns and bougainvillea. The service is discreet, almost familial, without palace protocol. From 382 € a night, it is one of the most sought-after addresses in Mexico for those wanting to avoid large hotels ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend Casa Izeba to travellers seeking the intimacy of a house rather than the infrastructure of a palace. It is an address for couples on long weekends, creatives on scouting trips, lovers of Mexican domestic architecture. The six rooms exclude groups, yet that is precisely its charm: one sleeps here as the guest of a well-to-do Roma family.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The house dates from the 1920s, when Roma Norte attracted Mexico’s bourgeoisie. Sober neo-colonial architecture, grey volcanic-stone façade, sash windows framed in white stucco. The interior has been restored with respect for the original volumes: oak parquet, ceiling mouldings, central staircase in turned wood. The six rooms occupy the two floors, each different in layout and outlook (Colima street or inner patio).
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The restaurant at Casa Izeba serves contemporary Mexican cuisine, using produce from Mercado San Juan and small producers in the State of Mexico. Breakfast is served until 11am in the patio or in-room, with a short menu renewed each week. The bar offers artisanal mezcals and cocktails made with garden herbs. No starred table, yet honest cooking that justifies staying in for dinner rather than going out.
