Three-room hotel in Mexico undergoes expansion

Namron Hospitality, a locally rooted collection of Mexican hotels and restaurants in Tulum, has unveiled the expansion of its flagship property, La Valise Mexico City, opened in January 2024.

In the heart of Mexico City’s La Roma neighbourhood, the hotel formerly billed as the world’s smallest boutique hotel – comprising just three guestrooms – has revealed an additional five suites, along with a new living room and a ‘Piscinema’ pool/cinema concept.

The five new individually designed suites have been brought to life by Naman and in-house Design Director, Roberto Ayala. With a love for craftsmanship in mind, each suite has been designed to feel like a private residence, adorned with intriguing Mexican artefacts, vintage treasures, bespoke furnishings and handcrafted artwork. The brand’s distinctive slide-out king beds are featured in two of the new suites, as well as in La Valise’s sister property, La Valise Tulum.

As part of the expansion, both hotel guests and members of the public can enjoy the brand new ‘Piscinema’ concept, which offers a small pool space and private movie screenings. The hotel has also partnered with a selection of gastronomic hotspots in the local area to deliver handmade delicacies to be enjoyed poolside or in-suite.

Namron Hospitality’s founder and CEO, Yves Naman, discovered the 1920s French-style townhouse in 2014, and converted its residential quarters into a series of self-contained suites. This endeavour marked the inception of both the La Valise Hotels brand and Namron Hospitality, setting the stage for a collection of hotels that celebrate local art, culture and community.
