Condesa is the definition of a walkable neighborhood. Surrounded by three important parks\u2014Parque Espa\u00f1a, Parque M\u00e9xico, and Bosque Chapultepec\u2014pumping oxygen into our little oasis in chaotic Mexico City. If you make it for the annual spring Jacaranda bloom, you\u2019ll experience purple canopies just as magnificent as the cherry blossom festivals of Japan. Condesa is home to culinary staples like Chef Elena Reygadas\u2019 Lardo, contemporary delights like Caf\u00e9 Milou and Hugo Wine Bar, as well as the local Tuesday Tianguis (or open air market), making the neighborhood\u2019s cultural offering as diverse and interconnected as our history and architecture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018La Condesa\u2019 is named after the Countess of Miravalle, a descendant of longtime land owners from the colonial period whose private hacienda property spanned what is known today as parts of Roma, Condesa, Hipomodro, and some of Tacubaya. Her manor house still occupies an entire city block, now home to the Russian Embassy. One could do an entire architecture tour in this neighborhood alone, spanning from Art Deco through to contemporary styles. Between the hacienda style homes turned into residences and businesses, to the cultural destinations like theaters and cinemas, Condesa is a place marked by enduring tradition, constant change, and remnants of a bohemian past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Condesa streets were made for walking. However, biking is now part of a growing movement culture. There\u2019s an eco-Bici station right in front of the hotel. And every Sunday the main strip of Calle Mazatlan closes a lane connecting all the way to Avenida Reforma for biking and running. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
