Formerly known primarily as a business city, Monterrey has become a destination for savvy world travelers thanks largely to the arrival of the stark-yet-sexy Habita Monterrey hotel.
EXPERIENCE
Habita Monterrey's street-front presence is so understated that it's easy to miss: a simple white sign reading "Habita" is the only indication that inside awaits an exclusive oasis of cutting-edge design for those in the know.
The lobby is done up in crisp white simplicity, accented by a striking steel mesh wall behind the front desk. Rooms are equally stunning, with black and white decor complementing the strong horizontal and vertical angles, and carefully picked furnishings. Amenities are top-notch, including such high-end must-haves as an iPod docking station featuring Bose speakers.
The hotel's restaurant is also a must-see, where Chef Enrique Olvera infuses authentic northern cuisine with a splash of New World panache.
The jewel of the Habita Monterrey is its rooftop pool and bar, featuring unparalleled views of the Sierra Madre mountains. The head-bobbing tunes spun by Habita's in-house DJ have made this the "in" place for locals out on the town.
Habita Monterrey is in the quiet San Pedro district of Monterrey, in Mexico's northeastern state of Nuevo León. It is about 30-minutes from the General Mariano Escobedo International Airport.
