ALL ABOUT COLORS !!

Filled with color and texture, here's a hostel located in one of my favorites sectors in Mexico City, La Condesa. An eye catcher for the contemporary urban traveler with a pink double skin facade, the hostel La Buena Vida does stand out from it's neighboring buildings.

Inside, the surprises keep visitors intrigued. The colors yellow, blue and predominantly "mexican pink" plus graphic skulls in the walls integrate the mexican tradition into the spatial experience of the hostel. Would love to stay here and drink a michelada with lots of hot sauce looking at the city view from the terrace. Maybe i will, when I visit Mexico City again.
