66 Best Hotels in Mexico City, Mexico

The immaculate marble lobby of the modern Royal Hotel, beloved by international travelers, is filled with plants and the exuberant conversation of its guests. Spacious rooms have large bathrooms, well-equipped work areas, and interactive TVs. The rooftop terrace and pool has a fun bar and there's a buffet breakfast each morning. 

The first international chain hotel in Mexico City still has an incomparable location and exemplary service. Don Antenor Patiño, the Bolivian "Tin King," inaugurated this Mexico City classic in 1969, and named it after his granddaughter, socialite Isabel Goldsmith. The marble lobby has gleaming brass fixtures. The well-maintained guest rooms feature extra-comfy Posturepedic mattresses, goose-down (or hypoallergenic) pillows, and coffee makers, while the pricier Club rooms boast free bottled water (replenished daily) and access to the fitness center and Club lounge. Penthouse suites in the 22-story tower are extra spacious and have butler service.

An anomaly in fashionable Roma, this seven-story budget hotel built in the early 1970s won't win any prizes for its design, but with spacious if nondescript rooms, a friendly staff, and close proximity to the neighborhood's trendy restaurants and shops, it's a solid pick if you're looking to save money. The buffet breakfast costs extra but is pretty good. Try to get a room overlooking leafy Jardín Pushkin.

For families, those spending a lot of time at UNAM or in the south of the city, or visitors with a rental car who don't mind a bit of driving, this well-maintained and attractively furnished extended-stay property offers an outstanding value and a relatively quiet location at the axis of two major roads, just across the highway from the fascinating Zona Arqueológica Cuicuilco. There's a small gym and free secure parking, and the rooftop terrace is a pretty spot to watch the sunset. The feel is that of an apartment building more than it is of a hotel, but there's staff on-hand in the reception area 24/7 to assist if you need anything.

Built in 1924 and beautifully designed and furnished, this is a great choice for those looking for comfort and style in the area.

This hotel couldn't have a better location—it's right on the Zócalo and close to a gaggle of museums, restaurants, and historic buildings. You'd expect nothing less than to be in the heart of the city, given that one wing of the building was once the home of Hernán Cortés. Rooms are very small, but the most recently renovated ones are nicely appointed, with wood floors, crisp white bedspreads, and flat-screen TVs. The restaurant and bar have sweeping views of the Catedral Metropolitana and Palacio Nacional.  And rooms have double pane windows so while it may be in a busy part of town, it is quiet inside. Cafe Central in the lobby supplies food and drinks to all guests 24-hours a day at no extra fee.
