Solar panels hum quietly in the background, EV chargers line the lot, and refill stations replace single-use waste. Guest rooms echo the same ethos: Aesop body care, biodegradable packaging, and terracotta walls punctuated by local artworks. The edible garden carries its weight too, feeding into Juliette, Chef Johnny Ortiz’s seasonal restaurant that’s become a dining destination in its own right. Step outside and the courtyards, fireplaces, and the shade of the Grandma Willow tree double as communal living rooms, while The Gallery, powered by Paseo Project, keeps the cultural conversation alive with installations and gatherings. With Taos’s galleries, distilleries, and mountain trails close at hand, the 3.5-acre retreat balances grounding comforts with the town’s creative current. Like every Casetta Hotels property, Willa folds historic bones into a present-day rhythm, where the amenities are less about excess and more about intention. | | | | | | La Valise Mexico City | | Mexico City, Mexico | | Mexico City has been topping travel wish lists lately—and it’s easy to see why.
