Casa Siza

• Sleeps: 6
• Bedrooms: 3
• Bathrooms: 3
• Minimum stay: 1 night

Designed by the Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning architect Álvaro Siza, Casa Siza is a visually captivating and soul-soothing sanctuary in Mexico City’s bustling Santa María la Ribera district.

Described as “poetic modernism”, Álvaro Siza’s work has garnered multiple accolades (including Spain’s National Architecture Award in 2019) for creating contemporary, clean-lined spaces that respect the history and environment of their surroundings. Casa Siza is a breath-taking example; a historic building with its rich original features carefully preserved.

Inside, captivating décor and furnishings are provided by Lucia Corredor: an interior designer named in the AD100 – Architectural Digest’s prestigious list of the most influential talents in design – for a memorable stay, infused with unique and compelling style.

The three-storey retreat boasts an exclusive pop-up art gallery by Kasmin Gallery on the first floor (please note that the gallery is open to the public for appointment-only guided tours and private viewings).

The remaining storeys comprise a striking and elegant apartment for up to six guests, and also features artwork by acclaimed artists including Bosco Sodi, Mario Garcia Torres, and Izumi Kato. You’ll make your grand entrance through the ground-floor gallery and dazzling atrium, into cubic living, dining, and sleeping spaces that are individually designed to invoke comfort and inspire wonder.

The sociable living and dining space is filled with jaw-dropping artistic elements, yet there are plenty of holiday conveniences, too: a Netflix, Prime and HBO-equipped TV, a fun selection of board games, and an incredible dining table that seats up to 10 people. You’ll find the kitchen furnished with everything you need, too, including a Nespresso machine to charge lazy mornings spent on your choice of scenic terrace.

You’ll also have three suites to choose from: a kingsize main with a walk-in wardrobe and a sauna, a kingsize master with a private terrace and an indulgent bathtub, and a double suite with twin beds and exceptional city views. Whichever you choose, you’ll enjoy private en-suite facilities and a cosy reading nook for those tranquil holiday moments.
