Boutique hotel in a 500-year-old former conquistador estate, steps from Zócalo
Historic Architecture & Charm
Casa De La Luz Hotel Boutique occupies a 16th-century building that was once the estate of Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortés, with original tezontle stone walls and high arched ceilings preserved throughout. The hotel's colonial architecture is a key draw for travelers interested in Mexico City's history, offering a rare opportunity to sleep inside a structure nearly 500 years old. Common areas like the first-floor lounge and the courtyard-style interior provide spaces for reading or relaxing, with the building's stonework visible from every angle.
Rooms & Amenities
Each of the 16 rooms at Casa de la Luz comes with premium bedding, a Smart TV with built-in streaming apps, and a private bathroom featuring a rainfall showerhead and L'Occitane toiletries. Many superior suites include a small balcony overlooking Plaza Primo de Verdad, while standard rooms open onto a quiet interior courtyard. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a mini-fridge, and blackout curtains to reduce light from the courtyard, and the hotel provides bathrobes and slippers for guest use.
Dining & On-Site Restaurants
Restaurante Tezontle, the hotel's rooftop restaurant, serves authentic Mexican cuisine for lunch and dinner, with dishes such as guacamole made tableside and Cornish hen. A complimentary à la carte breakfast is served daily in the downstairs dining area, offering items like chilaquiles, fresh fruit, and freshly squeezed juice. The rooftop bar also offers a cocktail menu, including a signature horchata with hibiscus, and guests can dine on the outdoor terrace overlooking the city rooftops.
