A moment that altered my life into hospitality was when...
I have always been a fan of Mexico and its hospitality and amazing gifts.
After working for 16 years in the entertainment undustry (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.
Thats 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.
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 a 5 team strong amazing and devoted team. We are all excited to greet you here at La Palomilla in Mexico City.
What I love most about hosting is...
I'm actually shy... But each time a new guest checks in new stories and adventures start being created. I love being able to surprise and delight our guests. Each review we get means we are doing things right. We do things right, with attention to detail and customized to every guest. We really do love taking care of you and making your experience in Mexico memorable.
My vision for hospitality is...
Let people know how amazing Mexico City is by giving them a 360 experience. Have our guests experience Mexico through our eyes and through our curated experiences. Let our guests know that everybody is welcome and they are now part of our Palomilla.
