Rooftop Hotel Condesa df, Mexico City

Hotel Condesa DF is housed in a 1928 landmark building that has been named after its neighborhood. Condesa is a green district on the west side of Mexico City centre. An international design team was responsible for the renovation, decoration and visual communication of this part of this Mexican hospitality formula, called Grupo Habita. One member of the design team is India Mahdavi whose style I like. Together with the architects Xavier Sanchez and Waldo Higuerra, she managed to transform this former apartment building into a more than charming hotel with a bar, restaurant, club, rooftop terrace, rooms and suites.

Jamie Mulholland is originally from a suburb nearby Cape Town and started his bartending career in St Martin 16 years ago. Since then the ‘Zuid-Afrikaner’ worked his guts out in order to become today’s successful entrepreneur in the hospitality business. His latest venture is Surf Lodge located on the east end of Long Island (only 125 miles from NYC!).

Through a small article in this month’s  edition of the British Vogue I became aware of this elegant  lodge that has been decorated with simple but characteristic items like the elephant stools, a few Eames chairs, the photo frames in black & white and the subtle color schemes with tones in egg yolk & ocean blue. All set against a background of white plastered walls, sun kissed timber jetty and rattan.

I know for sure that I will visit this laid back place with lots of Caribbean- | South-African- | Aussie beach vibes.

Fancy a London night in a hotel suite decorated with Mies van der Rohe furniture or inspired by the designs of Andre Putman? Have a look at the Boundary, one of Sir Terence Conran’s latest hospitality ventures. Just like his other developments in real estate, this hotel with a roof top restaurant, a bakery, a food store and many more is a testimonial of his strong belief in the alignment of architecture, design and food. This rewarded designer and founder of Habitat, created 12 spacious guest bedrooms each in a certain style. Have a look at the site and read his reviews on each room.
