Audiorama Chapultepec
Tucked away behind the Castle of Chapultepec, this hidden clearing is lined with colorful benches and surrounded by towering trees. Classical music plays quietly from speakers hidden in the foliage, making it the city's ultimate spot for a morning meditation or a quiet chapter of your book.
Lardo
Elena Reygadas’ leafy Condesa spot is best visited early before the brunch crowds descend. Snag a seat at the tiled bar for excellent espresso, house-made yogurt with seasonal fruit, and their legendary rosemary-scented pastries.
Hela Spa Polanco
Located high above the bustling streets of Polanco, this Nordic-inspired sanctuary is all about clean lines and serious bodywork. Opt for the deep tissue massage to work out any travel tension, then spend twenty minutes sweating it out in their pristine steam room.
Ojo de Agua Roma
This is CDMX's unofficial living room for the health-conscious crowd, filled with crates of fresh tropical fruit. Order a cold-pressed juice (the 'Antigripal' is a powerhouse) and a simple, perfectly executed avocado toast or superfood bowl.
Casa Bosques
End your day of reset with some quiet mental stimulation at this stunning, minimalist bookstore in Roma Norte. Specializing in independent art, design, and architecture publications, it is a serene space where you are encouraged to browse slowly and appreciate the print.
