I stayed at Huset for 5 days with a group of 9 friends. We occupied all 5 rooms. Traveling in large groups can be challenging to coordinate, but from the moment we arrived (late Thursday night) we were treated like the number one priority.
The chef and staff at the restaurant attached to Huset stayed late to make sure we didn't go hungry and the meal was DELICIOUS and the cocktails were especially refreshing. That first meal set the bar very high for service, and flavors.
The facilities are breathtaking!! Each room is curated with simple modern elegance. I loved the shower in room 5! The skylight and overhead rain faucet made it very hard to take quick showers. Every room has excellent natural light, and there are plenty of comfortable spaces in the rooms and on the roof to work or socialize (or both) The stone jacuzzi on the roof was a godsend after a late night of dancing, and the garden and butterflies didn't hurt either. The beds and linens were kept fresh daily by the housekeeping staff, and there were beautiful fresh cut flowers in every room.
I took a hot yoga class in the studio, also attached to the hotel. The instructor was the perfect balance of gracious and challenging. I left class with a quiet mind and an energized body.
I had my nails done in the salon downstairs, "Pretty Bitches". The manicurist was super efficient and skilled and offered me a coronita. (something I think they would do in every salon) Needless to say I left feeling very pretty and not at all bitchy.
I drank delicious "homie" lattés in the mornings with toffee flavoring. (I'm pretty sure they made all their syrups fresh.) There was an attached library filled with beautiful photographs and interesting books, comics and magazines.
My group didn't have a solidified itinerary when we arrived in Mexico City. We had a list of places and ideas of things we were interested in doing. Walter and Aline organized a driver to take us hours out of the city to Teotihuacan, Tepoztlán and the Canals. The driver, Paco, went above and beyond and gave us guided tours at each destination. They also made reservations and recommendations for dining drinking and dancing.
If I could live here, I would. I am convinced nothing could go wrong at Huset. I am overwhelmed with how amazing our stay was. I cannot thank Walter, Aline and the Huset staff enough. Staying anywhere else in Mexico City would be foolish.
