Just beyond the vibrant streets of Mexico City, I found myself drawn into an unexpected haven – a tequila bar that whispered promises of stylish relaxation. When in Mexico City, it seemed the perfect initiation. This wasn’t just any bar; it was a prelude to the captivating experience that is Soho House Mexico City.
One might anticipate Soho House to mirror the historical grandeur of its Roma Norte location with overtly traditional décor. However, stepping inside reveals a bold, contemporary vision. The Salon, once the living room of the historic property, now showcases a curated collection of modern Mexican art. Pieces by talents like Alinka Echeverria and Gonzalo Lebrija adorn the walls, a testament to the city’s thriving art scene. In fact, over 150 artworks are thoughtfully placed throughout the house, ensuring art is an integral part of the Soho House experience. Even the check-in area makes a statement, with staff stationed before a striking textile installation by the artistic duo Celeste. The furniture echoes Soho House’s signature bohemian-chic aesthetic, elevated with rich jewel-toned velvets that amplify the space’s inherent elegance.
During the day, Soho House Mexico City is bathed in light, allowing for appreciation of its intricate design elements. But as dusk settles, the atmosphere transforms. The rooftop pool area becomes a hub of energy, with DJs setting the mood as stylish guests gather, drinks in hand. The restaurant, encased in a stunning glass greenhouse-like structure, buzzes with conversation and culinary delight.
Choosing to stay at Soho House means embracing a social experience. The house maintains its vibrant energy late into the night, extending past 2 a.m. on weekends, with many eager to prolong the lively ambiance. For travelers seeking to immerse themselves in Mexico City’s renowned culinary and nightlife scene, Soho House’s location is unparalleled. The trendy Roma Norte neighborhood puts you within a stone’s throw of acclaimed establishments like Elena Reygadas’s celebrated Rosetta, and the iconic Licorería Limantour, both just a short Uber ride away. Even the delightful Cafe Nin, another Reygadas gem, is practically around the corner. For a unique local experience, skip dinner and head to neighborhood chocolatería La Rifa for a clandestine mezcal and chocolate pairing – a true taste of Mexico City’s hidden gems.
For those seeking an upscale and undeniably fun base to explore Mexico City, Soho House Mexico City delivers an exceptional experience, blending art, design, and social vibrancy in the heart of Roma Norte.
