Mexico City is full of incredible artisans. Templo is a must for anyone looking to bring home a work of art, whether you’re seeking something large or small. Located on the ground floor marketplace, the store has an artful curation that captures the essence of Latin America. There’s a beautiful array of Oaxacan ceramics, hand blown glass, colorful textiles, candles, and other accessories
-
The rooftop terrace is a great feature of the hotel. We found ourselves starting our day here every morning over a simple and delicious breakfast paired with freshly squeezed juices and coffee. To our surprise there’s a jacuzzi and sauna that elevates the experience - we highly recommend adding to your morning routine
-
While there are several amenities offered, one of the adds we would like to see on another visit are bluetooth speakers. We would have loved to have had this in our room to enhance the sensorial experience of our stay
