Casa Tenue: A New Guest House in Mexico City (Outdoor Soaking Tubs Included)

May 5, 2025

Spied—and saved—via Instagram: Casa Tenue, a recently opened escape in Mexico City. According to architects Vertebral, “It is the second-oldest house in Colonia Roma, restored and transformed into eight rooms surrounded by subtle details, designed by Vertebral, with interiors by Habitación 116.”

Replete with indoor/outdoor spaces, a historic stone dining room, ensuite courtyards, and baths tucked away amidst palm fronds for soaking afuera, Casa Tenue is “a private home that opens its doors to share with friends, friends of friends, and a community seeking luxury through design, art, and disconnection from the intense pace of life outside.”
