Baja Club
Colonial-meets-contemporary minimalism. Think exposed brick walls, original ironwork windows, red terrazzo floors, and the odd striped balcony cushion for color. Barragán-inspired materials everywhere. The vibe is cool and unfussy — sophisticated without trying too hard.
The rooftop bar (open 5–11pm) is open to non-guests and is one of the best sunset spots in the city — worth knowing if friends are staying elsewhere in La Paz.
Why It Matters
La Paz's first true design-forward luxury boutique, opened by Grupo Habita — the same group behind HABITA Mexico City. It's the only place in the city where you get a Michelin-listed property right on the Malecón. Also landed on the 2022 Condé Nast Traveler Hot List and World's 50 Best Discovery.
Baja Club is a 1910 colonial-style pearl trader's villa on La Paz's Malecón boardwalk, brought back to life by Grupo Habita in 2021. Architects Max von Werz and Jaune Architecture layered a sleek four-story modern extension onto the original hacienda, framing a central courtyard with a pool, pergola, and garden. The result is 32 rooms done in serious minimalism: dark-wood cabinetry, white linens, tiled bathrooms, and custom Mexican-made furnishings throughout.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Balcony Double Room
Same size and layout as the Balcony Room but with two queen beds instead of a king — the best option for families or friends traveling together. Third-floor rooms also get the palm-framed ocean view. Clean lines, no fuss, everything done in quality local materials.
Two Queens · 46 sqm
Balcony Room
A step up in size and the first room type with a balcony. Third-floor versions have a palm-studded ocean view over the bay. The super-minimalist design is consistent throughout — dark wood cabinetry and headboard, white linens, locally sourced materials — but the balcony exposure changes everything.
King · 37 sqmGarden Room
Set in the original 1910 colonial house, these are the rooms with the most character. Gently lit with genuinely high ceilings and exposed wood beams, with a minimalist look finished in local Mexican materials. Each has its own outdoor seating area surrounded by plants — effectively a private garden nook. Smallest footprint on property but arguably the most atmospheric.
King · 28 sqmJunior Suite
At 55 sqm, this is where the space starts to feel genuinely generous. A separate seating and dining area means you can actually spread out. Ocean-view balcony. Still utterly minimalist — same dark wood, white linens, Mexican-made custom furniture — but with enough room to breathe.
King · 55 sqmPatio Room
Bigger than the Garden Room and set in the new building, with a private patio that has table and bench seating — essentially your own outdoor living room. The materials are all local or Mexican: think tactile textures, earthy tones, custom-made furniture. Good middle-ground option between the smallest rooms and the suites.
King · 45 sqmTerrace Suite
85 sqm with a large private terrace — the outdoor space alone is the selling point here. The balcony and terrace together look out toward the bay. Separate seating and dining area inside, king bed, and a full rain-shower bathroom. Good for longer stays where you actually want room to exist.
King · 85 sqmTop Suite
The largest room on property at 100 sqm. Flooded with natural light and built around a massive private terrace with ocean views — the kind of place you'd order a cocktail from the bar and not move for three hours. Every design detail is the same considered minimalism as the rest of the hotel, just with a lot more of it.
