  • I am a world traveler whose heart is rooted in Mexico City. After over a decade in the entertainment industry, I followed my deep desire to make a difference in my homeland by creating a warm and welcoming space that feels just like family.
  • I have always been a fan of Mexico and its hospitality and amazing gifts.
  • After working for 16 years in the entertainment industry (I’ve worked in PR and marketing for companies like Televisa, Netflix, HBO, Turner and AETN to name a few), I decided that I wanted to stop working 9-9 and give back to my country and to my fellow single girl workers.
  • That’s how after watching Gilmore Girls one day I thought it would be a good idea to start a B&B where other women would feel safe, being hosted by sisters.
  • β€˜Palomilla’ refers to your closest group of friends. We want our B&B to be that place of solace, fun, and a cozy refuge.
  • La Palomilla started in 2016 and has been in function ever since. An earthquake and COVID tried to get the best of us but we made it!
  • Seven years later, La Palomilla is coming back to life little by little and we have an amazing and devoted team led by Lalo. We are all excited to greet you here at La Palomilla in Mexico City.
