Gran Hotel Ciudad de México

$$ | Av. 16 de Septiembre 82, Mexico City, 06000, Mexico

The rooms in this 1895 art nouveau beauty face either the iconic and bustling Zócalo or a less dramatic garden. The roomy accommodations are traditionally furnished, if a bit staid, but service is exceptional and the location in the historic heart of the city is exhilarating. An utterly spectacular four-story stained-glass atrium ceiling adds to the charm.

Pros

  • Great views from the fifth-floor restaurant
  • Prime location during events in the Zócalo
  • The unique lobby, complete with chirping canaries and top-hatted staff

Cons

  • Hotel often holds parties in lobby
  • Area can be crowded and noisy
  • Staff can be unhelpful

Recommended Fodor's Video

Hilton Mexico City Reforma

$$$ | Av. Juárez 70, Mexico City, 06000, Mexico

The abstract red-and-blue mural in the lobby and cantilevered gray facade add a dramatic flourish to this hotel in the city's historic center. Geared to conventions, everything is oversized here, from the lobby to the five food-and-beverage outlets. Plush Italian furniture, gray-green carpeting, and Spanish marble are features of the guest rooms. Rooms display old photos of Centro Histórico. 

Pros

  • Double junior suites with a kichenette and dining area are available for long-term stays
  • Indoor and outdoor pool
  • Walking distance to several sights

Cons

  • Street noise can be heard in the rooms
  • Can be crowded with convention attendees
  • Additional charge for Wi-Fi

Zócalo Central

$$ | Av. 5 de Mayo 61, Mexico City, 06000, Mexico

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.

Pros

  • Phenomenal location
  • Breakfast and all day snacks included in room rate
  • Free daily walking tours

Cons

  • Busy location means that at times the areas outside the hotel are chaotic
  • Rooms (and gym) are small
  • Beds are a bit firm
