Stara Boutique Hotels is still very much a newcomer in Mexico. With just two properties, one in the Juarez district and the other 12km southwest of the historic centre in San Angel neighbourhood, the company has brought something new to the city, and promises to continue to do so.
Pretty much in the middle of the city, in the Juarez district, is Stara Hamburgo. A neighbourhood in transition, Juarez has fashionable boutiques and hotels as well as laundries and tortillerias with pan-European restaurants and coffee shops dotted here and there. Milan 44 is a nice an upmarket eatery, and Mucho Mundo Chocolate is good for a fun respite.
Just one block from Paseo de la Reforma, one of Mexico City’s main thoroughfares, and 30 minutes from the airport, it is at the same time situated right next to the fashionable and better known Roma and Condesa districts.
Stara Hamburgo has 60 suites, a library, a business centre, and all the other trappings you would expect from a luxury boutique hotel. Sleek throughout, common areas and rooms are littered with art from noted artists such as Mathias Goeritz, Pedro Friedeberg, Helen Escobedo, and Manuel Felguerez.
Rooms are beautifully designed with avant garde furniture as well as tablets that controls lights, TVs, fans and air conditioning (a feature not enough hotels have).
Stara’s other property in the city is Stara San Angel Inn. With the same idea as Hamburgo when it comes to art and technology, Stara San Angel Inn has 22 suites that are decked out in furniture from Danish brand BoConcept.
A longer stay option than Hamburgo, Stara San Angel Inn is in the small but beautiful San Angel neighbourhood. Just 19 km from Benito Juarez International Airport, the area offers cultural immersion as well as with peace and quiet via cobbled streets and lovely plazas.
For a cultural interlude, the house-studio of world-renowned Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo is nearby. A significant landmark in the city, it is where Rivera and Kahlo lived and worked.
