Hotel Humano
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $320
Hotel Humano is a 39-room hotel by Grupo Habita in La Punta Zicatela, the surf neighborhood of Puerto Escondido on Mexico’s Oaxacan coast, set on a pedestrian-only street a short walk from Playa Zicatela. Architect Jorge Hernández de la Garza designed a cluster of buildings in concrete, clay tiles, brick and tropical wood, while Plantea Estudio shaped interiors furnished by local artisans. Rooms flow between sleeping, bathing and lounging areas divided by freestanding walls and curtains, each one decorated with drawings by artist Lucio Muniain. A garden restaurant serves Oaxacan cooking, and the rooftop, with its sunset pool and fire pits, opens every late afternoon.
Casa Polanco
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $600
Casa Polanco is a 19-room boutique hotel in Mexico City’s Polanco district, set directly across from Parque Lincoln and a short walk from Avenida Presidente Masaryk and the city’s best restaurants. It joins a restored 1940s Neocolonial mansion, recognized by Mexico’s National Institute of Fine Arts, with a contemporary building designed by architect Claudio Gantous. Rooms feature walnut floors, custom furniture and, in many cases, balconies over the park or the inner courtyard. Rates include breakfast at La Veranda, a guests-only restaurant, as well as daily afternoon tea and an honor bar in the library, and the hotel also has a spa, a fitness room and e-bikes for getting around.
One&Only Mandarina
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $1,500
One&Only Mandarina is built into the dense coastal rainforest of Riviera Nayarit, where treehouses rise above volcanic rock and jungle before the land drops towards a swimmable Pacific beach. Standalone villas and treehouses bring pools and open-air living into the vegetation rather than separating the resort from it, while surfing, horseback riding, wellness and the surrounding forest make the experience considerably more adventurous than the usual Mexican beach resort. The scale is luxurious, but the rainforest remains its most impressive feature.
Hotel Terrestre
HotelNorth America, Mexico
From $400
Terrestre is a 14-villa retreat on the Oaxacan coast near Puerto Escondido, conceived by Grupo Habita with a raw, highly architectural approach to tropical living. Brutalist forms, open-air spaces and natural ventilation keep the villas exposed to light, wind and the surrounding landscape rather than sealed away from it. The property is intentionally elemental, with ocean, heat and architecture carrying much of the experience.
