Hacienda Peña Pobre
Historic hacienda meets modern boutique. Quiet and residential, with warm, personal service. Feels more like staying in a private house than a hotel — no corporate shine, no buzzy lobby bar scene.
Book the Terrace Suite if you want air conditioning — the Standard and Superior rooms don't have it
Why It Matters
Two-time Michelin Key recipient (2024 and 2025) and proud member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. One of the few hotels in Mexico City that offers a genuine escape from the chaos of the metropolis without actually leaving it — Bosque de Tlalpan is right outside the gate.
A 19th-century hacienda — listed as an architectural monument and protected by INAH — that has been turned into a quiet, 20-room boutique hotel on the southern edge of Mexico City, steps from the Bosque de Tlalpan. Period ironwork, peach-washed walls and a central staircase give the exterior serious character, while inside it's been updated with contemporary design, original artwork by Mexican artists, and spaces that feel residential rather than hotelish. Think: a proper library, an orange-tree-fringed courtyard patio, and a hidden speakeasy.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Duplex Suite
The biggest option on property at 80 m2. Two independent bedrooms each with their own king bed and bathroom, plus a separate living room. Built for families or two couples traveling together. Feels genuinely spacious — not a squeeze.
2 Kings · 80 sqm
Standard Room
Garden-facing room with midcentury modern styling and natural light. Simple but well-appointed — king bed, a proper desk, equipped closet, minibar, handmade toiletries, slippers, and flat-screen TV. No air conditioning, so be aware in warmer months.
King · 30 sqm
Superior Suite
Each one individually designed to echo the character of the original house — no two are the same. At 50 m2, you get a real living room separate from the bedroom, plus a fully equipped kitchen. Good for longer stays or anyone who wants to cook and not eat out every night.
King · 50 sqm
Terrace Suite
The newest addition to the property — a contemporary room with its own private terrace overlooking lush gardens. Notably the only room category confirmed to have air conditioning, which makes it the smart pick in warmer months. Same 30 m2 footprint as the Standard Room but adds the terrace and AC.

How you'll actually spend your days.

The front desk team is consistently praised for going beyond standard concierge duties — offering tailored sightseeing recommendations, restaurant suggestions, and insider tips on southern CDMX. Close to Coyoacán, Frida Kahlo Museum, MUAC, Cuicuilco Archaeological Site, and Xochimilco.
A proper, capacious library — one of the best-reviewed features of the hotel. Guests consistently cite it as a place to genuinely decompress. Comfortable, well-stocked and quiet.
The hotel sits yards from Bosque de Tlalpan, one of Mexico City's largest urban forests. Walking, running and cycling trails are right outside the gate — a genuine draw for guests who want to get outdoors without leaving the city.
