We've compiled the best of the best in Centro Histórico - browse our top choices for the top things to see or do during your stay.
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.
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.
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.
Enjoy close proximity to the Zócalo and Alameda Central from your boho-minimalist hideaway in this exquisitely restored 17th-century building. The lobby-level collection of hip restaurants and boutiques create a busy entrance. One of the building's best attributes is its gorgeous rooftop terrace, which includes a snazzy cocktail bar as well as a lap pool, sunken hot tub, and sun deck.
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 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.
