The DNA of Mexico
Where Ancient Cultures Meet Fearless Contemporary Design
Mexico is a country of extraordinary contrasts. Pre-Hispanic cities, colourful colonial towns and centuries-old haciendas coexist with the radical Modernism of Luis Barragán and a new generation of architects working with concrete, earth, timber and traditional Mexican craftsmanship. From the creative intensity of Mexico City to the jungles of the Yucatán and the wild Pacific coastline, architecture here responds powerfully to landscape, climate and an exceptionally rich cultural heritage.
Food and drink are fundamental to understanding Mexico. Regional cuisines vary enormously, shaped by indigenous traditions, local ingredients and generations of culinary knowledge. Street tacos, bustling markets and family-run cantinas exist alongside some of the world’s most ambitious restaurants, while mezcal bars, contemporary cocktail culture and Mexico’s growing wine scene add another dimension. Here, eating is never simply something that happens between sightseeing—it is part of the journey.
Mexico’s most exciting hotels share this strong connection to place. Restored colonial houses and historic haciendas sit alongside sculptural desert retreats, jungle hideaways and remarkably inventive coastal hotels, particularly along the Pacific. At DNA Hotels, we curate the places where architecture, craftsmanship, food and landscape tell a distinctly Mexican story—hotels with enough character to become destinations in their own right.
