3 Best Hotels in Polanco and Bosque de Chapultepec, Mexico City

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.

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 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.
