About Colmena
A network of independent boutique hotels in Mexico City and Los Cabos
Colmena is a boutique hotel brand born in Mexico, focused on creating authentic, well-designed spaces with an honest and relaxed vibe. Our approach is simple: to offer functional and affordable accommodations in prime locations, with warm service and no unnecessary protocols.
We currently operate four properties in the most vibrant areas of Mexico City and Cabo San Lucas, with plans to expand through a replicable and professional operating model.
What we offer
At Colmena, we believe you don't need a luxury hotel to feel welcomed. That's why our spaces are designed to make you feel comfortable from the very first moment:
Strategic location, always walkable and connected
Functional design, with local identity
Fair prices, no inflated rates
Warm and human treatment, always
From a rooftop view in Cabo to a designer spot in Roma Sur, Colmena offers honest, contemporary hospitality for real travelers.
Our history
Colmena was founded on June 15, 2020, in the midst of the pandemic. What began as a home-sharing project quickly transformed into a boutique hospitality network, driven by the need to adapt, create, and evolve. We started with a single property in Roma Sur, with a lean operation, a strong commitment, and a focus on detail. Today, we operate four properties and are developing new openings and a Colmena Operations model to manage third-party spaces with our same standards.
Mission
Making hospitality authentic, accessible, and functional. We want more people to be able to stay in well-located, well-thought-out, and well-maintained places—without overspending or feeling out of place.
Vision
To become Mexico's most beloved independent hospitality brand. We want to continue growing, operating new spaces, and helping other owners professionalize their properties under the Colmena model: friendly, profitable, and full of soul.
Our culture:
Friends Hosting Friends At Colmena, it's not about serving, it's about receiving. We relate to our guests and staff as friends who care for each other. This philosophy—"Friends Hosting Friends"—is the guiding principle of our operation, from the design of the space to every interaction at the reception desk or via WhatsApp.
