Afterward, Grupo Habita expanded its base and established 13 hotels across Mexico, with its most notable and praised property, Downtown, in Mexico City. The company later started branching into the United States.

One of its hotels, Deseo, has been described as playing a crucial part in making the Playa del Carmen region of Mexico a hot spot for tourism.

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. This hotel is Grupo Habita's largest, with 56 rooms.

Grupo Habita's hotels have been described by observers as being excellent for younger travelers.

The group operates the Robey Hotel in Chicago's Wicker Park that opened in 2017.

In 2016 it also expressed an interest in opening a hotel in the Stockade District of Kingston, New York, a historic Hudson Valley city north of New York City that is fast becoming a cultural hot spot, with a large local hipster culture, a strong arts community and a vibrant nightlife.
