We choose to stay at Casa José Clemente Orozco Coyoacán for my husband and my 40th and 45th birthday celebration with a group of friends who are all architects and artists. The unique history of the space having been designed and built by the artist Orozco and now managed by his family heirs was idyllic. The art on the walls all original illustration works and the space itself a delightful hideaway that felt like our own Frida house. We enjoyed having private well appointed bedrooms with ensuite baths for each of our friends as well as communal areas to share games of cards in the eve and morning plans for adventures!
We truly enjoyed having such a beautiful and comfortable space to return home to for afternoon naps to recharge before all night dancing.... and especially to have the loving support and beautiful gestures of our hosts. They made our group feel as though this was our home and we enjoyed it respectfully as such.
We also rented one of the smaller studio spaces to the back of the property for extra guests for a few nights and I am extremely impressed with ability to turn the entire property into a private retreat by booking all 3 spaces! the location is in close proximity to the Coyocan metro stop on the 3 line and only a few short blocks from the Friday Museum. Its in a truly walkable and incredibly beautiful historical neighborhood. We opted to spend many of our days just wandering the streets and feeling at ease. I cannot recommend the space and our delightful hosts enough! We will absolutely come back. This was the perfect birthday vacation and a fantastic introduction to Mexico city!!!
