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.

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). 

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.

The rooms in this 1895 art nouveau beauty face either the iconic and bustling Zócalo or a less dramatic garden.

There's also an oft-Instagrammed glass-walled swimming pool. It's the kind of place where you'll want to laze by the pool and sip cocktails with friends, and although the rooms—with concrete floors and eye-catching low-slung furniture—are beautiful, they can also be noisy. 

Enjoy close proximity to the Zócalo and Alameda Central from your boho-minimalist hideaway in this exquisitely restored 17th-century building.

Suiting its name, this hotel occupies a stately late 19th-century building with a corner cupola right on the Reforma alongside the Glorieta de las Mujeres que Luchan, a monument to women's struggles. The hotel's Restaurant Gaudí serves Continental cuisine with some classic Spanish selections. First-floor executive rooms have small balconies and leatherette headboards, but many smaller details have been overlooked.

This sleek, circular three-story hotel is set directly above Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez Terminal 2 and is the most convenient lodging if you're flying on Aeroméxico or Delta (which are both based in this terminal), offering well-appointed accommodations with wood floors, premium bedding, and nicely updated bathrooms. Although rooms have large windows, they face an inner courtyard rather than planes taking off and landing. There's a full restaurant and bar serving decent if unmemorable international fare.
