1. Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City

Forbes Travel Guide reports that with marble foyers, a dramatic winding stairwell ascending from the lobby to the second floor, and a courtyard garden with a classical fountain and a patio sprinkled with umbrellas, Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City “provides a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.” Spacious rooms decorated in soothing neutral tones boast marbled bathrooms with a shower, sunken bath and Floris products. Standard rooms face the courtyard and include a desk, a small sitting area with a couch, comfortable pillow-top beds and ample closet space. For fitness buffs, a small but well-equipped health club overlooks a small courtyard with an outdoor pool, and spa services such as massage and facials are offered as part of the health club, with a shared locker area and dry sauna.
Presidential Suite

The 2,228 sq.ft. Presidential Suite is on the 8th floor, the hotel’s top floor, with a kitchen and a dining area seating eight.

2. The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City

Condé Nast Traveler writes that whether you are sipping a cocktail at the Deco-inspired bar or watching the sunset from your private balcony 40 stories up, “you’ll feel the city as a constant presence with a stay at this Ritz.” The property occupies 13 floors of a 59-story tower that rises where the Paseo de la Reforma, Mexico City’s grandest boulevard, meets the Bosque de Chapultepec, the city center’s green lung. The magazine describes the rooms as spacious and tranquil, with marble-clad bathrooms and a subdued color palette of dusty blues and grays that allows the cityscape to play protagonist, and ninety percent of them have private balconies offering panoramic views. The hotel’s on-site restaurant, Samos, serves a solid breakfast and, for lunch and dinner, unfussy Mediterranean food with a focus on local produce.
The Ritz-Carlton Suite

The Ritz-Carlton Suite spans 2,044 sq.ft., with park views, a living room, a dining room seating eight and a master bedroom, all with floor-to-ceiling windows.

3. The St. Regis Mexico City

Condé Nast Traveler says it is impossible to miss the sleek, 31-story high-rise on Paseo de la Reforma when looking at Mexico City’s skyline, and from inside the St. Regis Mexico City tower “the views are just as memorable, whether you’re swimming in the 15th-floor pool, enjoying a meal at Diana, or sitting on your own private terrace.” The magazine adds that the service is top-notch from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart, with butlers available 24/7 to every guest. Open since 2008, this family-friendly property in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood is in a good location for first-time visitors, with easy access to some of the city’s most-visited landmarks, museums and restaurants.
St. Regis Suite

The 2,088 sq.ft. suite includes a living and sitting area, a dining room seating eight and plenty of space for entertaining.

4. Sofitel Hotel Mexico City

The Telegraph writes that the hotel trumpets its design approach as an amalgamation of French and Mexican décor, though its reviewer found that fusion was not apparent and that more could be done to add a sense of place: in practice, the aesthetic feels more typical of a modern, design-led luxury hotel. Expect crisp, glossy interiors throughout; “the real Instagram-friendly showstoppers are the sweeping views and spectacular pool area.” While the hotel proper starts on the skyscraper’s 14th floor, it also features a standalone ground-floor bar, Freehouse, with an eye-catching aesthetic: it occupies a squat, honey-coloured period building whose façade envelops the lowest levels of the glass and metal tower.
Imperial Suite

With its expansive open-concept living and dining space, the 3,000 sq.ft. Imperial Suite lets you host a celebration while guests overlook Mexico City from breathtaking floor-to-ceiling windows. It has a private balcony and an outdoor tub.

5. Las Alcobas, A Luxury Collection Hotel

Condé Nast Traveler reports that this Yabu Pushelberg-designed boutique hotel “is all about luxurious, understated elegance.” The magazine says the busy street disappears as you step into the lobby and catch sight of the stunning spiral staircase, plush furnishings, just-right lighting and fresh flowers, and inside you will be surrounded by well-dressed business people and couples from the US, Europe, Mexico and beyond, finally taking that hard-earned vacation. Each room has a deep soaking tub that looks simple from the outside but is outfitted with over-the-top hydrotherapy amenities, mood lighting, a soap menu and even a self-cleaning mechanism.
Pasaje Penthouse

The top suite spans 1,291 sq.ft., with a wraparound terrace, a fireplace and living and dining areas.

6. Live Aqua Mexico City

Forbes Travel Guide writes that Live Aqua Ciudad de México, Bosques de las Lomas, provides a sophisticated boutique hotel environment in the Bosques de las Lomas neighborhood. The moment you walk into the lobby, “you leave behind the bustling city and retreat into a world of striking artwork, towers of books and wellness-minded amenities.” Next to the iconic Arcos Bosques shopping and commercial building, lovingly referred to by locals as “el Pantalón” (the trousers) on account of its two-legged shape, Live Aqua offers both luxury and convenience, Forbes adds. Ten minutes away from Santa Fe, one of the fastest-growing financial areas in the city, business travelers can attend work meetings and be back for an early evening hydrotherapy routine at the hotel’s Feel Urban Spa by Live Aqua.
Luna Presidential Suite

The Luna Presidential Suite spans 1,650 sq.ft., with an open floor plan that makes it perfect for entertaining.

7. JW Marriott Hotel Polanco

Forbes Travel Guide states that the hotel’s location cannot be understated. With Campos Elíseos, one of the neighborhood’s prettiest streets, on the JW Marriott’s doorstep, you can wander down to Lincoln Park and the myriad restaurants on the cherished Polanquito side of the neighborhood on foot. With 26 floors and an uninterrupted view of the National Auditorium, “you couldn’t ask to wake up to a better vista.” There are not many hotels with outdoor pools in Mexico City, and this one has a view: take advantage of the heated pool and the tunnel specially built to exit on the inside of the building to avoid the breeze. All 314 guest rooms, including the 45 suites, have been renovated recently, and Forbes says you will feel like you are staying at a brand-new hotel.
Presidential Suite

The 1,614 sq.ft. suite has a separate living and dining room and a large bedroom with a walk-in closet and dressing area.

8. Alexander Hotel

Condé Nast Traveler writes that Hotel Alexander, tucked into a few floors of Torre Virreyes, Teodoro González de León’s trapezoidal glass tower that locals affectionately call “the Dorito building,” has all the trappings of a luxury stay. Think Italian furniture, Swedish bath products, Bang & Olufsen sound systems and a Petrossian-stocked caviar bar overseen by Tabasco-born chef Gabriela Ruiz of nearby Michelin-recognized Carmela y Sal. The 26 suites, designed by architect Daniel Álvarez Fernández with interiors by Ambia Studio, feature fineries like blue calcite marble, ebony millwork and floor-to-ceiling glass windows framing either the city skyline or Bosque de Chapultepec park. In the magazine’s words, the vibe is elegant, luxurious and a bit hushed. The property is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, and the magazine calls it the closest thing Mexico City has to a Mandarin Oriental in spirit, if not in scale.
Ambassador Suite

The 1,250 sq.ft. Ambassador Suite includes a large living and dining area and an oversized master bedroom.

9. W Hotel Mexico City

The Telegraph says you get the sense that the hotel’s interior designers wanted to create a “funky” and “trendy” space: by the champagne vending machine, expect chairs with backs transformed into faces, while in the bar there are technicolor and minimalist lattice-style frames, plus varied multicolored artwork throughout. Those pops of color convey the upbeat, playful vibe W Hotels are known for, though the reviewer found the overall effect sometimes feels dated, and that a small arrival area and lobby further detract from the hotel’s ability to make an impactful first impression.
E Wow PH1 Suite

The 1,238 sq.ft. E Wow PH1 Suite features a dining room for eight, a bar area, a large living area and a master bedroom with an oversized bathroom and dressing area.
