17 Best Hotels in Mexico City, Mexico

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.

This somewhat unassuming art deco--style town house beside famed Panadería Rosetta is considered one of the neighborhood's lodging gems, thanks to its chic yet unfussy modern design, abundance of peaceful common terraces (including a gorgeous roof deck), and desirable location. Rooms are done in earthy tones and have sleek tiled bathrooms, soft bedding, and art, fabrics, and many accessories created by Mexican artisans. On the ground floor, restaurant Sesame serves tasty Pan-Asian food, and there are dozens of stellar restaurants just steps away. Many rooms have large balconies, and three of them are accessed via a dramatic yellow three-story spiral staircase.

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.

One of the most alluring of the several posh, intimate B&Bs that occupy stately Porfirian-era mansions in Roma, this 1913 house has been enlarged with a dramatic glass-and-metal contemporary addition that encircles a peaceful courtyard with a living wall, cactus garden, and fountain that functions as social focal point—and is also just a wonderfully relaxing place to read or relax. The softy lit, casually chic rooms have sumptuous beds and bathrooms, and rates include an artfully presented breakfast as well as an evening cocktail hour.

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).

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 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. 

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.

Its design strikes a harmonious balance between style statements and minimalism, but the location of this hotel, on one of the city's poshest avenues, is its main selling point. Service ranges from cool to indifferent, with a few exceptions, and some areas could use more upkeep. The swanky rooftop bar attracts international celebs and chic chilangos every night of the week thanks to its open-air views, fireplace, and selection of mezcals. 

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. 

This captivating hotel is an elegant, understated former mansion, registered as an artistic monument by Mexico's Institute of Fine Arts. From its small, sunny patios to its sitting room, the hotel's interior conveys the spirit of the Porfiriato. The owner loves classical music, and has added such whimsical touches as a trumpet turned into a lamp in one room and a portrait of Richard Strauss in another. The two-story hotel building, with its salmon-color facade, looks out onto a quiet tree-lined street.

Occupying a prime Polanco position adjacent to the Bosque de Chapultepec, this hotel is a seven-minute walk from the anthropology museum. Catering to business travelers, this is the city's second-largest hotel, and has marvelous views from the top-floor suites. Each room soothes with a contemporary design of subdued earth tones and wood accents. There are three on-site restaurants including Yoshimi, serving modern Japanese cuisine, as well as an artisanal bakery and candy shop.

Situated in the stylish Arcos Bosques mixed-use district on the eastern edge of Santa Fe about 6 miles (10 km) from Parque Chapultepec, the only CDMX location of this growing Mexico brand of posh resorts offers plenty of creature comforts, including huge rooms with 65-inch smart TVs (and smaller TVs in the bathrooms), a gorgeous full spa, and an acclaimed restaurant serving rarefied Spanish cuisine.

Sharing a lobby and some amenities with the similarly upscale Andaz hotel, this contemporary art-themed hotel with dynamic murals in the guestrooms occupies part of a large mid-20th-century building designed by celebrated architect Jose Luis Benlliure and filled with see-and-be-seen lounges and restaurants, including Skybar Condesa, with its sweeping city and mountain views. Tall windows allow sunlight to flood the guestrooms, which are outfitted with premium sound systems, lightening-fast Wi-Fi, and top-quality bath products. Some amenities are shared with the Andaz.

A boutique hotel with only eighteen rooms, Orchid House provides an intimate experience for its guests.  With an acclaimed in-house restaurant (get the pizza), it's a convenient place to stay in a beautiful part of Polanco.

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