Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Roma Norte
One of Mexico City's most celebrated boutique experiences, Ignacia Guest House occupies a 1913 mansion in Roma Norte with just six rooms of extraordinary care and craftsmanship — a restaurant of genuine quality, and the attentive owner-operated charm that makes it perennially oversubscribed.
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
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
The Gran Hotel is one of Mexico City's most spectacular buildings — a 1899 Art Nouveau masterpiece of Tiffany stained-glass domes and gilded iron balustrades facing the Zócalo that makes guests feel they are sleeping inside a living monument of Mexican history.
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.
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.
