Century Old Building Reopens as Bed and Breakfast in Mexico City's Hippest Neighborhood

MEXICO CITY - March 18, 2018 - PRLog -- Just in time for her 40^th birthday, Alessandra Pérez-Cirera traded in her career in marketing to open up a bed and breakfast in her favorite Mexico City neighborhood, Roma Norte.

With a passion for people and Mexico, and wanting a more fulfilling work life, Pérez-Cirera bought a century old home and carefully renovated it. This March will officially begin to welcome guests to La Palomilla Bed and Breakfast.

The seven-room bed and breakfast is tucked into a side street in Roma Norte. Formerly a residence, the home has been thoughtfully renovated to include seven guestrooms (each with its own private bathroom), an outdoor city terrace, inside patio, dining room, and welcome area. Ironworks have been replicated to honor the herrería that was once original to the building. The property boasts colorful rooms, art by local artisans, organic toiletries, upcycled materials, and a low carbon footprint by sourcing breakfast ingredients within 32 miles.

"It was important to me that we offer an authentic experience and also contribute to this vibrant community," said Pérez-Cirera, who oversees all daily aspects of the business first-hand.

Aside from ensuring guests are comfortable and breakfasts are homemade, she also curates activities for guests seeking to experience the local flavor – from Mezcal tastings at a local art gallery to more elaborate foodie tours, climbing pyramids, or listening to a Mariachi band pull up alongside your gondola on a day trip to Xochimilco.

"Mexico City has a lot to offer, particularly to the younger traveler who wants to see and taste and explore," said Pérez-Cirera, who saw an influx of Millennials stay at the B&B during her soft launch the first few months of the year. "This is a great place to come with your own palomilla." Palomilla refers to a group of one's closest friends.
