66 Best Hotels in Mexico City, Mexico

In posh Polanco, right across from Parque Lincoln and minutes from high-fashion heavyweights like Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana, sits Casa Polanco, which started welcoming guests in 2022. Originally a 1940s aristocratic residence, the building has undergone a meticulous restoration at the hands of renowned architect Claudio Gantous, resulting in a place where design lovers come to swoon over white-washed walls, objets d’art, and luminous rooms, some of which have balconies.

This trendy outpost of Hyatt's stylishly upmarket Andaz brand, located inside an enormous restored art deco building, has spacious, tech-savvy rooms with large windows and plush bedding, as well as the greatest array of amenities in the neighborhood, including a full-service spa and multiple dining and drinking options. The tree-shaded blocks in and around Avenida Amsterdam are just a few steps away. It's also one of the few hotels in Condesa with valet parking. Note that the building shares space with the Mondrian hotel and you won't be able to charge meals at the restaurants and businesses run by them to your Andaz account.

Designed by one of the country's leading architects, this pale-green contemporary boutique hotel with a mid-century-modern vibe features spacious rooms with fully equipped kitchens, large balconies with tables and comfy chairs, organic Yucateco bath products, and a stunning collection of contemporary art. Located on the less swanky end of famously trendy Calle Colima, the hotel is a short walk from dozens of noteworthy restaurants. It's one of only a handful of Roma lodgings that welcome pets. 

Several hotels are found along the main road across from Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez Terminal 1, and this airy and smartly designed mid-price member of the popular Courtyard Marriott brand is easily the most appealing, with its spacious and contemporary rooms, unusually efficient and friendly service, and attractive common spaces.

Among the most luxurious hotels in the capital, this eight-story oasis with a traditional inner courtyard was modeled after the 18th-century Iturbide Palace. It has airy, spacious rooms with French doors separating the sleeping and living spaces and opulent marble baths. The two outstanding restaurants, a gastropub, and a French bakery on-site are all superb, and you can pamper yourself in the lavish spa with a roof deck and pool. The spa treatments feature Mexican touches, like copal incense, tequila body oil, and cacao scrubs.

It's all about the details at this hip hotel with a quiet, picturesque setting overlooking Parque España, from rooms outfitted with eye-catching custom-designed furniture and Malin & Goetz bath products to a library of coffee table books about Mexican history and culture. The white corridors surround a central courtyard, where the hotel restaurant serves a delicious fusion of French and Mexican cuisine. The swanky rooftop terrace serves Japanese bar fare and well-crafted cocktails with sweeping views of the leafy neighborhood.

A superb choice in Centro Histórico, Histórico Central is the perfect location for those looking to explore Centro while feeling pampered. Apples and bottled water are available on each floor, and food is offered to guests for free, 24-hours-day at the on-site café.

Among the most luxurious and centrally located of the cluster of hotels in business-oriented Santa Fe, this stylish contemporary urban retreat caters primarily to corporate travelers, but leisure visitors willing to contend with the out-of-the-way location will appreciate the extremely reasonable rates and proximity to several excellent restaurants and the enormous Centro Santa Fe shopping mall. The lovely walking paths of Parque La Mexicana offer a pleasant respite from Santa Fe's somewhat imposing and impersonal vibe. The on-site restaurnant, Quattro Gastronomia Italiana, serves very good food.

Hotels are rare in this neighborhood, but this stylish all-suites property steps from San Ángel's main shopping area and major sights is also a great base for visiting Coyoacán, Tlalpan, and UNAM. The spacious, upscale rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden floors, kitchenettes, and comfy sitting areas, and there's a good-size gym.

A favorite of celebrities and dignitaries, this boutique member of Marriott's Luxury Collection is on Polanco's most exclusive shopping street, a block from charming Parque Lincoln Polanco. Set in a mid-century building that's been breathtakingly reimagined by famed design firm Yabu Pushelberg, the hotel features posh rooms decorated with custom rosewood furniture, state-of-the-art Bose entertainment systems, and roomy baths—some with separate rain showers. 

This plush, privately owned member of the Leading Hotels of the World is within walking distance of the Zona Rosa. Its art nouveau facade combines pink stone and curved glass, and the lobby is filled with an eclectic sculpture collection selected by the owners. Rooms and suites are spacious, with a look that tempers the dominant art deco theme with modern elements. The pool and gym are in glass-enclosed atriums that make you feel as if you're outdoors, while the spa is the most elegant space, offering an extensive menu of massages, facials, and body treatments. The property is home to several restaurants, including a piano bar, Sikeiros.

Regularly playing host to various heads of state (Barack Obama stayed here in 2009), the InterContinental's expansive atrium lobby has parquet floors, thick walls, oversize furniture, and Talavera pottery, which is also showcased throughout the property. Rooms have a mid-century modern touch, with clean lines and classic tones of blue and slate; those on the upper floors have panoramas that stretch for miles over the city. There are also breathtaking views near the elevator banks and from lounges on executive floors. Mexican, Asian, and Italian fare are among the cuisines featured in the on-site restaurants, which include a branch of The Palm and the city's famous 24-hour French eatery, Au Pied de Cochon. All benefit from the hotel's amazing wine cellar touted as the largest in Latin America.

The first W hotel in Latin America grooves with its bright colors, clever lighting, and a lobby that brings to mind a cool 1960s airport lounge. It manages to be informal and chic at the same time, with the staff clad in casual black rather than the usual stiff uniforms. Guestroom design is inspired by Mexican culture, including wall-size, fashion-magazine-style photos of models dressed as Aztec goddesses and lucha libre wrestlers, and infinity mirrors that reveal an art installation of fancifully carved, colorful, fantastical Oaxacan alebrije animal sculptures when LED lights are switched on. Modern conveniences are thoughtfully worked into the rooms, which feature plenty of well-placed power outlets (including built-in adapters for European plugs) and a "jack pack" cleverly hidden within the spacious work desks. The Away Spa and Fitness Center has a huge pre-Hispanic temazcal (adobe-domed sweat lodge).

Just a few blocks from the World Trade Center and busy Insurgentes Avenue, this small boutique hotel is a charmer, with a hint of luxury. The rooftop pool area is a good place to take in the sun and experience the city from above. Cute balconies overlook the streets of this mostly quiet, residential neighborhood. 

The suites here are perfect for any length of stay in the city, and the location is well situated whether you're visiting for business or pleasure. The on-site restaurant is pretty good and comes in handy when you want a decent meal without venturing too far.

If your main interest for your trip is exploring the city's historic downtown, the atmospheric, colonial-style Majestic will give you a perfect location. It's also ideal for viewing the Independence Day (September 16) celebrations, for which many people reserve a room a year in advance. Rooms have heavy wooden furniture and rather generic decor. There is also a restaurant on the top floor with a wonderful view of the Zócalo.

An opulent English manor-style mansion from the early 20th century has been transformed into arguably Roma's most exclusive lodging, an intimate urban resort with first-class amenities and rooms outfitted with sumptuous touches like premium sound systems, Mexico-made Persea Apothecary bath products, and in-room climate control. Most accommodations have expansive private balconies, and the Signature Suite has a marble gas fireplace. The hotel's Hela Spa, while not large, does offer a full slate of massage and body services, and the trendy restaurant, Cerrajería, serves gorgeously plated contemporary international fare; there's also a landscaped terrace café serving lighter bites and a cozy speakeasy. Although breakfast isn't included in the rates, the hotel often offers packages that include this.

This mansion, formerly known as Casa Vieja, is simply stunning. Completely redone and renamed in February 2014, the space features a rustic-meets-modern design that incorporates stone, exposed-wood beams, and wrought-iron elements. The hotel's on-site restaurant, Sue45, serves contemporary Mexican cuisine. Rooms come equipped with Egyptian cotton linens, wood furnishings, and a few whimsical decorations, like birdcages. The building is owned by Lolita Ayala, a prominent journalist who knows how difficult a peaceful stay can be for public personalities.

About the size of Teotihuacán's Pyramid of the Sun, this sleek, low-slung, 8-acre megalith was designed by Mexico's modern master, Ricardo Legorreta. Mostly used by business travelers, the whole place is one big sculpture punctuated by fountains, splashes of canary yellow and electric pink, and impressive artwork that includes Rufino Tamayo's mural Man Facing Infinity and a Calder sculpture. Rooms have gorgeous marble bathrooms and pops of vibrant color. For dinner, consider the popular steak house, BeefBar or teppanyaki at Marimoto. After your meal, have a drink in the cool Blue Blue, where one area is perched over water and has transparent floors. 

With an obvious attention to detail and exceptional service, the Círculo Mexicano stands out in Centro Histórico. One of the few hotels in the area with both a bar and a pool on the rooftop, this hotel is a prime spot for a weekend with friends. 

This six-story boutique hotel on the side of Roma Norte closer to Bosque de Chapultepec and Avenida Reforma offers uncluttered contemporary rooms with smart TVs, fast Wi-Fi, and stand-alone rain head showers, but instead of a conventional front desk, guests communicate with the highly efficient staff through text messages or phone calls. It's a set-up that's more akin to an Airbnb and may not be for everyone, but the reasonable rates, great location, and well-designed rooms have earned the hotel a very positive following. Barbero restaurant, on the ground floor, is a nice option for a glass of wine or a full dinner while the rooftop eatery Cafe de Mayo serves tasty breakfast and brunch fare (it's not open at night). 

This contemporary tower with plush rooms and myriad amenities—a member of Mexico's largest hotel brand—rises 12 floors above the fashionable Toreo shopping center in Lomas de Sotelo, a short drive northwest of Polanco and Lomas de Chapultepec. On the border between Mexico City and the state of Mexico, it's a good choice if you're seeking an upscale retreat reasonably close to city attractions but a little removed from noise and traffic. Guests with dogs receive a pet bed and water and food bowls to use throughout their stay. 

Although this seven-story property---it's one of the largest in the neighborhood---isn't particular trendy, it does have warmly appointed contemporary rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows, attractive white-tile showers, and ultra-comfy beds. There's a full-service restaurant and rooftop bar, and it's the rare Roma hotel with free parking. Rooms facing the street have Juliette balconies and let in more light (but also some street noise on the lower floors). 

Location gives this ultramodern hotel an edge; it's on a quiet street, but plenty of shops, restaurants, and nightspots are nearby. Service and facilities are faultless; advantages include a rooftop pool with sundeck, a secure underground parking lot, and 24-hour room service.

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.

Sleek and contemporary, this stylish hotel stands opposite the Bosque de Chapultepec, close to the city's main shopping area, and five minutes from the Auditorio Nacional. Plush rooms are done in muted tones of brown and cream. The spa, beauty salon, and barbershop guarantee that you will be presentable for the modern Azur Restaurant.

This inviting, reasonably priced hotel on the edge of increasingly trendy San Miguel Chapultepec and adjacent to Bosque de Chapultepec conveys an old-world sensibility with its floor-to-ceiling curtains, British antiques, and large marble-accented bathrooms, some with steam showers and Jacuzzi tubs. Some rooms have balconies overlooking the park. The elegant restaurant features live piano and serves fine Continental cuisine.
