6 Best Hotels in Mexico City, Mexico

On a quiet side street a few blocks east of Coyoacán's historic plazas, this elegant red hacienda captures the neighborhood’s Spanish Colonial charm while offering modern in-room amenities like kitchens and fast Wi-Fi. Rooms are quite spacious, and some of them are lofts with two levels and two queen beds. Guests can relax in the cloistered garden courtyard, which is illuminated with lanterns in the evening. Though they're not included in the rates, the breakfasts are reasonably priced and excellent, featuring traditional Mexican fare and fresh fruit.

Located only a few short blocks from the main attractions in Centro Histórico, this hotel is a great choice for travelers who want a comfortable place to stay at a reasonable price. There's a popular seafood restaurant in the lobby and many other eateries nearby.

A basic hotel in a great location, Hotel Punto Mx provides more value than style. With easy access to public transportation, the hotel serves as a good home base for exploring the city.

This clean and comfortable hotel comes with all the expected amenities as well as a rooftop pool and terrace that offers an excellent view of the Reforma Avenue skyscraper district. A hip boutique hotel it is not, but it's not one of the questionable, cheap motels that dominated the area's lodging scene for decades. It's safe and well-situated to explore the San Rafael and Cuauhtémoc neighborhoods. 

Part of a growing Mexican chain of mid-range hotels, this eight-story property is technically in Tacubaya, just south of Condesa, but it's an easy walk from the neighborhood's wealth of trendy restaurants and shops, making it a great affordable base. Although the rooms are all furnished similarly, they are large and have fully equipped kitchens, which explains why many families and guests planning longer visits choose to stay here. There's a decent on-site restaurant and bar, plus parking (somewhat rare in Condesa) for an extra charge.

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.
