Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Polanco
Las Alcobas is Mexico City's finest small luxury hotel — an exquisitely designed 35-room property in Polanco that prioritises intimacy, extraordinary Mexican craftsmanship throughout, and the exceptional Anatol restaurant in a way that makes it the preferred choice of discerning independent travellers.
Polanco
Occupying the top floors of a dramatic Torre Mayor-adjacent tower on Reforma, the St. Regis delivers its signature butler service and Astor Court afternoon tea with spectacular views over the city's Bosque de Chapultepec. A quintessential Polanco luxury experience.
Centro Histórico
Downtown Mexico is a pioneering luxury boutique in the Centro Histórico — a 17th-century palace converted by Grupo Habita with a celebrated rooftop pool bar, the irreverent Azul Histórico restaurant in a spectacular courtyard, and a mission to demonstrate that Mexico City's historic core can be a genuine luxury destination.
Condesa
The hotel that defined Condesa's transformation into a global boutique destination, Condesa DF is an urban masterpiece — a 1928 triangular Art Deco building by Javier Sanchez with a rooftop terrace of brilliant design and a lobby bar that remains the neighbourhood's most atmospheric gathering place.
Polanco
Wrapped around a stunning colonial courtyard garden on Paseo de la Reforma, the Four Seasons Mexico City is a timeless sanctuary of refinement in the heart of the city. El Restaurante, helmed by celebrated Mexican-Japanese chef Yoshua Okon, delivers food that justifies the billing entirely.
Roma Norte
Nima is Roma Norte at its most intimate and considered — a 20-room boutique in a restored Porfirian mansion where every detail speaks to a genuine love of Mexican design traditions. The rooftop terrace overlooking the Roma treetops is a perfect evening perch.
