About us

The story of La Palomilla

“I’m going to meet up with my palomilla” is a phrase as storied as Mexico itself. In Mexico, palomilla refers to your closest group of friends. We want our B&B to be that place where you can turn to again and again for solace, fun, and a cozy refuge.

Roma Norte, where our historical building stands, was the hub for iconic groups of palomillas, including artists, and writers. The house contains over 100 years of amazing stories of friendship.

Alessandra, the founder and owner, was inspired to fill each of its seven rooms with art, music, happiness, and Mexican culture–all entwined with stories of her own friendships. The walls, objects and furniture in each of the rooms reflect a part of a special person and a part of a special country.

The sum of these rooms make up a mosaic of Mexican tradition and a collage of the owner’s palomilla.

We’re excited to welcome you to La Palomilla and to continue the tradition of filling this home with great stories.
