Hotel Habita Monterrey for Monocle Magazine

The seventh property by Mexican hoteliers extraordinaire Grupo Habita—a group known for its style, energy, innovation, and even intuition—Habita Monterrey’s 39-room building is a curvilinear vision in clean, clear black and white; a true oasis in the desert and an homage to classic mid-century design. Already a hopping nightlife and social hub in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey, the crossroads between the United States, Mexico, and the world, the hotel features a rooftop terrace, with two pools and a bar under a cool concrete canopy that has jaw-dropping 360-degree views of the mountainous surroundings. Guests here find not just wireless Internet, but also a computer, and even the peace and quiet to concentrate as they make deals and move mountains, while chef Moisés Carrillo’s restaurant makes eating and lounging here unforgettable.
