Casa Habita
Art Deco meets mid-century Mexican, with a serious Milanese design sensibility. Think Mondrian-style colored partitions, gray Carrara marble bathrooms, floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows, and green wicker chairs inspired by traditional Mexican equipales. Lobby has a fireplace and a wall of mirrors. Retro without being kitschy.

Why It Matters
One of the few genuinely design-forward hotels in Guadalajara, built by Grupo Habita (Mexico's most respected boutique hotel group) with interiors by Dimorestudio of Milan. Architecture by local firm Estudio5 seamlessly merged a historic early 20th-century casa with a modern tower. Also participates in Marriott Bonvoy via the Design Hotels affiliation.
Casa Habita is a 37-room boutique hotel in Guadalajara's Lafayette/Americana neighborhood — the area Time Out named the world's coolest neighborhood in 2022. Two very different buildings share one identity: a 1940s house holds the lobby, library, restaurant, and rooftop pool; a contemporary nine-story tower behind it contains all the rooms and a rooftop spa. Milanese design studio Dimorestudio handled the interiors, threading together burgundy, salmon, and artichoke hues with bespoke pieces and reclaimed materials, so the whole thing feels like a very well-curated home rather than a hotel.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Balcony Room
One step up from the Standard at 28 sqm, with a private balcony that looks directly onto the original 1940s house and rooftop pool area. The queen bed and balcony make this a solid choice for couples who want the pool view without going full suite.
Queen · 28 sqm
Deluxe
Same 27 sqm footprint as the Standard but with a full panoramic window rather than a standard view. Ideal for higher-floor city views across Guadalajara's rooftops.
King · 27 sqm
Deluxe Twin
The same Deluxe layout but configured with two queen beds instead of a king — one of the few room types at Casa Habita that works for two friends or family members travelling together. Same panoramic window and city views.
Two Queens · 27 sqmJunior Suite
A meaningful step up at 43 sqm. Corner-positioned with two distinct views: one toward Lerdo de Tejada Street and one into the hotel's main patio. The extra space comes with a proper desk area, making this the best choice if you're working and need room to breathe.
King · 43 sqmStandard Room
At 27 sqm, these are compact but efficiently designed with the signature Dimorestudio interiors — Mondrian-style colored walls, gray Carrara marble bathroom, floor-to-ceiling Crittall-style windows, and mint-green headboards that double as wardrobes. Every room faces outward, so natural light hits every corner.
King · 27 sqmTop Suite
The only room in this category and it earns the name. At 107 sqm it has a full living room, king bedroom, and a huge private terrace with a wood-burning chimney and freestanding bathtub looking out over the original house and pool deck. Mr & Mrs Smith notes it's packed with modish mid-century pieces. Also the most coveted event space in the building.
