Ornate stained-glass windows and olive green tiles are showstoppers in the lobby of Hotel San Fernando, a boutique property near Condesa’s best cafés and restaurants. It’s a great spot for pet owners—the property is steps from Parque Mexico, one of the city’s top dog parks. Originally built in 1947 as an apartment building, this Art Deco property was revamped by Bunkhouse and Mexico City-based Reurbano. Its original architectural details remain, including casement windows, encaustic tile floors, and stained glass windows. An oblong spiral stairwell with a sleek wood and metal railing leads to the 19 guest rooms, each featuring coral-hued walls, wood furnishings by Mexico City-based studio La Metropolitana, and bedside lighting from Oaxaca-based studio Oaxifornia. Guests are privy to a complimentary breakfast of fresh fruits, pastries, and coffee on the rooftop, while afternoon and evening meals are served at the ground-floor Lounge Fernando, from empanadas and tostadas to charcuterie boards and tacos. The bar also offers a selection of natural wines and craft cocktails featuring agave-based spirits like pox, sotol, and raicilla.
