El Patio 77

Mexico City - May 2024

El Patio 77 is a boutique hotel located in San Rafael, one of the friendliest and most downtown of Mexico City, supporting the local economy. Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism awarded El Patio 77 as the first sustainable bed and breakfast in Mexico City.

El Patio 77 offers eight rooms in a 1890 mansion, renovated in 2009 to become sustainable and eco-friendly. Beyond being eco-friendly, El Patio 77 keeps a keen eye on cultivating the chic, charming, historical design of communal spaces as well as rooms. Each of the eight rooms is themed after a different state in Mexico, such as Jalisco, Oaxaca, and Chiapas to name a few. The communal courtyard where breakfast is served is an especially vibrant treat, with greenery hanging from the skylights. 

El Patio has a rainwater collection system as well as a gray water treatment system, solar energy, organic breakfasts, eco-friendly bathroom products, a LED-light powered building with motion sensors in the communal areas of the hotel.
