Bolivar Suites

A stylish apartment with spectacular views in Mexico City’s historic centre (sleeps up to 6 people in 1-4 bedrooms)

The historic centre of Mexico City is the place to stay if you truly want to feel the pulse of this exhilarating megalopolis. But, after an exhausting day of sightseeing, you need a private haven where you can relax in comfort and style with a host, who also lives in the building, who will make you feel at home and will personally attend to your special wishes.

Petra, the German owner, has lived in Mexico City for the past 25 years. Her wonderful apartment, decorated in a fresh contemporary style, is the perfect oasis from which to venture out into the bustling streets and plazas of the Centro and explore its many impressive buildings and museums on foot. Located on the top floor of a stately building, it offers breathtaking views over the city. The 4 charming bedrooms and 3 marble bathrooms comfortably accommodate 6 guests; you also get an enormous living area, a plant-filled terrace and a modern, well-equipped kitchen. Continental breakfasts and maid service are included.
