Ryo Kan seeks for a balance between comfort and beauty, combining Omotenashi style service with traditional yet modernized Japanese style guest rooms. We aim to provide with a unique experience like no other you have had. Located in the emerging Little Tokyo district of Mexico City, Ryo Kan proposes you to a spiritual break. We invite you to immerse within the cultural fusion between México and Japan. We consider ourselves to be the pioneering lodge as Ryo Kan marks the first in Latin America. Our facilities include a serene Japanese garden, a cozy and structured library, 4 terrace onsen baths and 10 peaceful residences that will keep you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. LOCATION Two streets down you will find Paseo de la Reforma, which is the main avenue which houses the Angel of Independence (Ángel de la Independencia), the statue of Diana Cazadora, and many of the world class hotels, restaurants and bars. The avenue was designed by Ferdinand von Rosenzweig in the 1860s.

    A Hidden Gem
    What a unique experience. The rooms are so technologically advanced - it blew my mind! Every detail was considered, from the lighting, to the breakfast, to the service. The water on the floor from my shower completely evaporated the bathroom fan was this powerful. The staff was exceptional. Lizeth and Ricardo were very welcoming and helped me out quite a bit. They gave great advice to a solo women traveler in Mexico city, and they made sure I was safe and on time everywhere I went. Highly recommended. Room exceptional. Staff exceptional. Location divine.
    Dear 969brynnc: Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. I am pleased to read you found your recent stay at Ryo Kan Mexico City to your liking. We will certainly share your nice comments with Lizeth adn Ricardo . We look forward to welcoming you back to our hotel in the not too distant future.

    It was just what we needed
    This boutique hotel somehow manages to be cozy and elegant at the same time. Everything was well thought out and of high quality, super efficient and no-frills, but so comfortable and welcoming. From the staff and their kind and professional demeanour to the beautifully prepared breakfast and baths and all fixtures in the suite and common spaces. Every little detail accounted for. Such an easy, relaxing stay. With only ten bedrooms, Ryo Kan also manages to be super intimate and has a very authentic feel, even making sure there is no room four, which is considered bad luck in Japanese culture. We stayed in one of the tatami rooms and the futon bed was very comfy and the pillows very cloud-like. The automated room feature was also super cool and the sound system made for a really nice ambiance. The location was also pretty ideal. Close to pretty much all the spots you’ll want to visit and also very accessible from be airport. Walking around is totally doable and feels safe with lots of little restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Would definitely, definitely recommend.

    MASSAGE + TUB EXPERIENCE
    I’ve been coming nearly weekly since I moved to Mexico City and every time has been a pleasure. The staff is helpful and friendly, always willing to help me out with whatever I need and making sure I am comfortable. The tubs are absolutely incredible, so relaxing and nourishing, perfect adjustable temperature, and so clean. They bring you tea and give you clean towels, robe and slipper to make it all the more luxurious. They also make it super easy to book. I leave this place feeling so rejuvenated and relaxed every time. The massage I experienced the last time was actually the most powerful massage I’ve ever had, where k got to release a lot. This is the spot to come to. Highly recommend.
    Dear Mrs Karla Palomino27: Thank you for taking a moment to share your experience. I am pleased to read you found your recent stay at Ryo Kan Mexico City to your liking. We look forward to welcoming very soon!

After a week of sightseeing in Mexico City we needed a day to relax and recuperate. We found this beautifully designed Zen boutique hotel that offered massage and a day pass to soak on a rooftop Onsen. Our massage therapists were very skillful and professional. Afterwards, hot tub soak with oils and herbs. Our masseuses brought endless hot tea, yummy sushi for lunch. Our time there felt like a sweet trip to another place, out of time. A memorable experience

its an interesting idea that just doesn't work. Japanese zen managed by non Japanese. there is no common area other than the general area where the entire staff hangs out all day 24/7. it also serves as an echo chamber. regardless of how beautiful the weather is, the breakfast area, only place to be beside your room, gets no air or breezeways whatsoever as it is entirely closed in. when I arrived my room had no toilet paper, a rather basic service for most hotels. no water bottles or easy access to.. apparently the owners are fascinated with high tech, as all window shades light doors function only with it. cute but not functional if you don't share their interest in all things tech. the staff seem like very nice people btw. if you leave the building you cant get back in unless one of them buzzes you in. use this hotel only as a last resort. way overpriced for the what they provide.

Ryo Kan came as a delightful surprise via a hotel booking app. I'd been expecting to stay elsewhere and booked a room at the last minute for 2 nights. When I arrived I was warmly greeted and immediately got my key even though I arrived 1.5 hours before regular check in. I didn't opt to spend time in their adoreable rooftop jacuzzi/onsen, but i was able to book a massage and it was excellent (not too soft, not too hard, a cut above alot of massages I've gotten in past). Everything in the room is automated via touchscreen, which isn't nearly as impractical as it sounds and is actually quite fun! They were very accommodating overall and my stay was excellent. My only minor complaint would be the water pressure, but this is very often the case in mexico city! A really nice, restful stay.

This hotel is far away from being relaxing... I call several times before the check-in to confirm my room (suite with bathtub), never answered. When arrived, they didn't have my reservation from booking.com... before giving me the room they try to charge me a higher cost than a suite, luckily for me, the credit card terminal didn´t work those days. But the room provided was a regular one... I accepted to spend the night in the regular room and they offered me a small discount due to all the trouble with my reservation and the 1 hour waiting for my room. The beds were comfy and the amenities are ok. Except for the breakfast which was just small pieces of fruit. When I checked out, the credit card terminal issue was still there (my card worked in other places), and the receptionist was not friendly at all or supportive to find another solution... so I offer to make a bank transfer and requested the data for that. They gave me the total amount and the bank account.. and ready the check-out.... but after the half-hour that I leave the hotel, they called me requesting an extra amount of money because they forgot to put the taxes on the total... really? I do not recommend this hotel at all, they look like a nice modern global hotel... but the service is from the 90s with no trained staff, no parking lot, or A/C.

Went with a group of girls for a day pass, facials, and massages. The onsen was so relaxing and fun, especially with the included sushi and the bottle of champagne we added. The tea was delicious, and the facial products were to die for. I didn’t get a massage but the girls loved that too. I’d recommend a day here very highly!

Absolutely lovely hotel! So well designed and maintained. Staff is kind. The rooms are spacious and the rooftop tubs are super cool. This place is 10/10 Instagram worthy. It’s effortlessly stunning. Very cute new cafe across the street (Nice Day) that was great to have nearby.

I had a wonderful stay at this zen and relaxing hotel in the heart of Mexico City. The Japanese-inspired design was lovely, and I really enjoyed the rooftop onsen and the beautiful lobby. My room was on the smaller side but had everything I needed :) the bed was comfy too. I would definitely stay here again!
