Sustainably-Operated
We try to be as sustainable as possible. Some sustainable process we have incorporated are:
- The purchase of local products (within 100 km), and products made on-site
- Repurposed furniture
- Donation of no longer needed accessories/furniture
- The use of refillable accessories for soap, creams, shampoo, etc
- Separation of organic and inorganic garbage
- Light sensors in public areas.
- Use of a dishwasher to avoid wasting water
- Hot water heaters calibrated so that hot water is instantly available, so as to avoid wasting water
- Proper use of natural light

Impactful Planet
Every corner of La Palomilla has been created to conserve the environment
The elements that compose La Palomilla seek the both social and economic development of Mexican talent.
Support Local
- We buy local products in support of Fair Trade
- We try to recommend local restaurants & shops
- From the bed sheets to the soap, almost every element of La Palomilla supports a Mexican business or artisan
Eco-friendly Practices
- We support the environment by using eco-friendly products, by taking advantage of natural light and the 1920’s Mexican architecture weather wise. This way, by not using AC for example, our carbon footprint is minimal
- On other topics, our food waste is also minimal
- You have to walk up the stairs. Its three stories. We only had space for a luggage elevator so get that heart rate going!
