Finally sharing this gem of a hotel with you guys after just staying there again for the second time on our most recent trip to CDMX. I get really lucky on my travels because most of the hotels end up meeting my expectations, but Uma Casa was one of those that exceeded them completely. This family-run boutique hotel located in the upscale Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood offers an unparalleled experience that's both modern and elegant, with a touch of Mexican heritage that truly sets it apart from any of my other hotel experiences in Mexico City.

While the hotel's design is sleek and sophisticated, with luxurious amenities and spacious rooms, it is the cozy feeling like you're in your very own home that makes it difficult to leave. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of the surrounding neighborhood making it the perfect spot to relax with a glass of wine in the evening. What really makes Uma Casa one of my favorite hotels in Mexico City is the impeccable and attentive service. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that their guests have a memorable and enjoyable stay, from providing recommendations on nearby restaurants and activities to making sure that every need is taken care of. On our first trip, the hotel even helped me coordinate a whole excursion to see Teotihuacan with just a day's prior notice.

While the hotel isn't located in the bustling areas of CDMX such as Roma Norte or Polanco, having stayed here during our very first trip to Mexico City, and this second trip, I would argue that the location is ideal for those looking to return to a cozy room to recoup and recover for exploring the city. For me, Uma Casa is the perfect choice for anyone looking for the best hotel in Mexico City. It offers a luxurious and comfortable retreat that perfectly captures the city's vibrant energy and rich cultural heritage, with impeccable service that's second to none.

Can't you tell how happy I am to have made it back to Mexico City just in time for the jacaranda season? I've only seen photos of jacarandas before, never in person, so I was completely mesmerized by how vibrant they are in person. As I admired them over the next few days during our trip, I couldn't help but feel how fitting their color is for a city like CDMX.

Ever since my last trip to CDMX last year, I have been eagerly looking for an excuse to visit again-- and it just so happened that Shun wanted to celebrate his 30th birthday with a few of our friends taco-hopping here. We had a late flight and landed early in the morning. In fact, this is the same outfit I wore on my flight. Oh how does an oversized blazer come in handy not just for spring weather, but also red-eye flights for early morning exploring. Although the weather is tempermental during this trip, I didn't pack too many heavy jackets for the month of April here. Keeping it simple with my outfits, I usually will pair with a statement piece like floral printed mules or a brighter color bag. This Loewe unintentionally went really well with this shade of brown on my Frankie Shop oversized blazer, no?

Blazer: The Frankie Shop (oversized, size down!)
Top: Cotton Tee
Pants: B Side Jeans (similar beige pair)
Shoes: Nanushka Babou Slipper (similar mule pair)
Bag: Loewe Puzzle Bag
Accessories: Necklace from Notte Jewelry
