Grupo Habita is a Mexico-based hotel operating and designing firm which owns hotels across Mexico, as well as some in the United States.
History
Grupo Habita was founded in 1994 by Moisés Micha and Carlos Couturier,[1] and officially launched its first hotel in 2000, called Habita Hotel and located in Mexico City.[2]
Hotels
Afterwards, Grupo Habita expanded its base and established 13 hotels across Mexico as well as the United States, with the majority of their hotels being in Mexico, with one notable and well-praised one being Downtown in Mexico City.[2][3]
One of their hotels, Deseo, has been described as playing a crucial part in making the Playa del Carmen region of Mexico a hotspot for tourism.[2]
In 2011, the firm opened its first U.S. property, a hotel called Hôtel Americano in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.[2] This hotel is Grupo Habita's largest; it houses a total of 56 rooms.[4]
Grupo Habita's hotels have been described by observers as being excellent for younger travelers.[2][3]
The group will operate a hotel in Chicago's Wicker Park, due to open in Spring of 2016.[5]
