Casa de Luna Gallery

Gazing up at the Casa de Luna Gallery, did you ever imagine it as a bustling hotel? This building, steeped in history, wasn’t always a gallery. The Casa de Luna, built in 1874, originally served as a hotel. It even boasts having been a 3-star establishment. Imagine the travelers who passed through its doors, seeking rest and respite in the heart of Mexico City. The Casa de Luna stands proudly in the Historic Centre. It’s just a short walk from iconic landmarks. Think of it, a mere five-minute stroll to the Metropolitan Cathedral. Or a fifteen-minute walk to the Museo Nacional de las Culturas. Even closer is the San Juan de Letran underground station, a convenient portal to the rest of the city. For those fascinated by history, the Casa de Luna is perfectly situated. The House of Tiles and the National Palace are within easy reach. The magnificent Torre Latinoamericana Tower is also close by, a beacon in the city skyline. Back in its hotel days, guests enjoyed modern amenities. Think Wi-Fi, 24-hour service, express check-in and check-out. Rooms offered comfortable seating areas, adjoining terraces, and flat-screen TVs. After a day exploring the city, guests could refresh themselves with a shower or bath. They could relax on the sun terrace. Perhaps they dined at the nearby Sanborns de los Azulejos, savoring international cuisine. Now, the Casa de Luna has transformed. It’s no longer a place for weary travelers to rest their heads. Instead, it welcomes art lovers, showcasing creativity and culture within its historic walls. The building’s past adds a unique layer to the art displayed within, a silent conversation between history and creation.
