Mexico City Vacation Apartment Distrito Federal

This 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 of major Mexico City landmarks. The enormous living area, four charming bedrooms and three and a half marble baths comfortably accommodate six guests.

The kitchen is modern and well-equipped. Continental breakfast and maid service are included. The owner, who lives in the building, wants her guests to feel at home and personally attends to their needs and special wishes. Minimum stay is two days.

All the rooms are white, full of light and airy, with a clean and fresh design. Latin American folk art pieces and fresh flowers provide touches of color. The rows of ceiling-to-floor windows in the spacious living/dining room give out on two sides on a terrace that is filled with tropical plants, including banana trees – an almost surrealistic touch for an inner-city abode.

Two doors, which can be locked (complete privacy!), lead from the living room into two sleeping suites. Off a hallway behind the red door are two bedrooms (one queen size, one single) and a white-marble bathroom with a walk-in shower and Jacuzzi tub.

The other door hides a small vestibule, a large bedroom with two twin or one king size bed, and a marble bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower area.

An additional small single bedroom with en-suite bathroom is located off the kitchen.

Fresh ingredients for you to prepare your own breakfast are provided daily at no cost. Just tell the owner what you would like the day before. The kitchen is stocked with wines, beer, tequila, soft drinks and snacks. For consumed items, and food you would like the staff to purchase for you, you will be billed separately.

There is also a small supermarket around the corner and, of course, lots of restaurants. Don’t want to go out? Order a variety of prepared dishes from nearby restaurants (yes, they deliver). Or, for more intimate in-house dining, come to an arrangement with the owner’s excellent cook (Mexican and international dishes).

There are plenty of things to do in the historic center. It is chockfull of fascinating museums, colonial architectural treasures, busy shopping streets, markets and plazas where you feel the throbbing pulse of this great city – and all just a few steps away from your apartment.

Take a taxi or the metro to attractions farther afield, such as the Anthropology Museum, Coyoacan with its small-village atmosphere or the “floating” gardens of Xochimilco. And hire a car or hop on a bus for day trips to the famous Teotihuacan pyramids, other archaeological sites like Tula or Xochicalco, or the Museo Nacional del Virreinato in Tepotzotlan (Mexico’s finest collection of colonial art and artifacts).

In the evening, relax in your oasis and watch the spectacular sunset from the comfortable couch in your living room. Then go around the corner for a light dinner in the famous Casa de los Azulejos (a tile-covered 16th-century mansion) or the Bar La Opera (a fancy pre-revolutionary cantina). A Jacuzzi bath before retiring provides a good night’s rest – and the energy to hit more sites the next day.

Who comes to Bolivar Suites? Mostly European and U.S. tourists – couples, families, groups of friends - who want to see Mexico City’s cultural highlights on their way to or from Mexican beach resorts and other tourist destinations. Also business travelers who are tired of conventional hotels. Most guests stay for three to five days.

The German owner (she speaks German, English, Spanish and French) has lived and worked as a journalist in Mexico for more than 20 years. When authorities began to spruce up the decaying Centro Histórico six years ago, she bought two apartments on the top floor of a stately (and earthquake-safe) building between the Zocalo and Bellas Artes.

Before moving in, she totally remodeled, modernized and redecorated both properties – one to live in herself, the other to put up friends and relatives when visiting Mexico. They soon began to recommend the apartment to their friends and relatives who then started to occupy it as paying guests.
