6 Best Hotels in Greater Mexico City, Mexico City

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 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.

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. 

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.

With lower rates than most properties in the corporate-centered Santa Fe district, this eight-story hotel is a great deal considering the roomy accommodations, attractive pool and fitness center, and safe and relatively quiet location. Even the one- and two-bedroom suites, with full kitchens, cost only slightly more than standard rooms. 

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.
