Landmark Architecture: Grupo Habita Unveils 7th Signature Property In Mexico City

Habita, celebrated worldwide for exceeding expectations in hotel design, unveils its seventh property, Habita Monterrey, in Mexico’s international business hub and most resolutely 21st-Century metropolis. Once again, Habita carries its signature chic and service to previously unthought-of environments and transforms them into instant classics.

Habita Monterrey is the latest addition to Grupo Habita’s extraordinary record of success, a grand, yet intimate landmark asserting itself in the city’s spectacularly dramatic natural setting. All of the group’s signature triumphs are in place, but those who know Habita will be delighted that as always, no two properties are alike. Habita Monterrey represents another unmatched expression of design and comfort.

Architect Agustin Landa’s gleaming tower, with its nod to mid-century cool, becomes an oasis in the desert. As approached, it is an imposing curvilinear beacon, startling perhaps, but harmonious with the region’s dramatic topographical contrasts. Solidly erected, it defies the city’s high temperatures and fierce siroccos. Within, Habita Monterrey surrounds, embraces and shelters, but never isolates. The rooftop, the pool bar is that idea’s most prominent expression, affording 360-degree views beneath a cool concrete canopy, its terrace perennially freshened by dual infinity pools, even at 100+ Fahrenheit.

The latest, most arresting interior design trends come into their own at Habita Monterrey courtesy of Parisian interior designer Joseph Dirand. And they leave nothing to chance, from the most prominent furnishings to details like restaurant cutlery, and even in the smallest (yet significant) in-room amenities. In all spaces, rigorous horizontals and verticals are enhanced by vintage furnishings of the most impeccable minimalism. But bursts of exuberant luxury – Indian mirror mosaics; sensual, organic Serge Mouille lamps; and disarming pieces from fashion designer Rick Owens’s personal collection – add stimulation, comfort and whimsy.

Monterrey, the crossroads between Latin America, the United States and the world, is a town that means business. As such, Habita Monterrey shapes every design element – visual and structural – with an eye to enhancing the business traveler’s comfort, concentration and effectiveness. The most forward-thinking technologies are present throughout the property, in addition to a business center where real business gets done. Perhaps most importantly, the rigorously-trained staff takes care of distractions and hassles while guests close the deal.

But what’s hard work without a little pleasure? As never fails with Habita, the Monterrey property will electrify the city’s nightlife and fine dining scenes, attracting the creative, the powerful and the just plain fabulous from all over the region and all over the world. Naturally, service will be strictly five-star.
Once again Grupo Habita engages renowned Chef Enrique Olvera to create Lobby, where the finest local ingredients and recipes will be prepared according to the most innovative culinary technique. Habita Monterrey’s two bars and lounges, the terrace and the pool, with specially engineered sounds courtesy of Paris DJ Monsieur X, will be instant centers of attention. Eating, drinking and lounging in Monterrey will never be the same.

Habita Monterrey’s extraordinary public spaces will draw the crowds, the fortunate few will stay in one of 39 rooms and suites – including a truly-over-the-top penthouse – and will ascend to an even more rarefied Habita experience. Scenester buzz falls away in guest spaces whose environment is distilled down to monastic calm, the smartest design elements, and of course, the essential luxuries. Both bed and work areas are the center of the action, facing the view. Bathrooms are a private spa for one (for two?), appointed in gorgeous stone and onyx, and to smooth over the edges – come furnished with Australian-import Aesop amenities.

Like all the group’s properties, Habita Monterrey emerges from its setting, but transforms into something never seen before.
