Four Seasons Mexico City
Paseo de la Reforma 500, Mexico City, Quintana Roo, 06600, Mexico, Mexico City, MexicoWhy We Like It
Most of the city's ultra-luxe hotels are located in the Polanco neighborhood; this offers a more central location (and better food and drink offerings).
Fodor's Expert Review
Among the most luxurious hotels in the capital, this eight-story hotel was modeled after the 18th-century Iturbide Palace--it even has a traditional inner courtyard with a fountain. More than half the rooms overlook this courtyard. A $14 million renovation was completed in 2016 with terrific new dining and drinking options, and a British-style barbershop.
You Should Know Though centrally located, the immediate area is devoid of charm and abuts two extremely chaotic intersections; not the place for a quiet evening stroll.

Room
Generous room sizes start at 537 sq. ft., with twice-daily housekeeping service and Nespresso Inissia coffeemakers.
Bathroom
New, crisp, and all marble, though not as luxuriously appointed as other parts of the room and hotel.
Lobby
Lobby has the feel of an upscale shopping mall, though there are some comfortable private sitting areas. There is also daily complimentary coffee service.
Pool
The rooftop pool is pretty, with a large sundeck, but a bit too small for laps.
Spa
The Health Club encompasses an outdoor pool, whirlpool, sauna, fitness center, with a range of spa treatments available (in your room, if desired).
Tip At the men's barbershop Gentlemen's Tonic—a branch of the London original—you can order cocktails from Fifty Mils bar.
Gym
Fitness center is well-stocked and modern, though basic.
Dining
Il Becco is the newest from the owners of L'Ostería del Becco, a longtime city favorite for authentic modern Italian; it serves inventive Piedmontese cuisine in a luxe space. Zanaya serves seafood-driven cuisine from the Mexican Pacific coast; try the whole grilled pescado zarandeado. In addition, the courtyard restaurant has a ver popular weekend Champagne brunch.
Drinking
Fifty Mils is one of the best cocktail bars in the city (and, for that matter, the country).

Getting Around
The best way to get around Mexico City is via Uber or similar ride-share services, like Cabify and the by-women for-women Laúdrive. Chapultepec Park and parts of Roma and Condesa are easily walkable.
Restaurants
Chef Elena Reygadas (who also owns nearby Rosetta) makes flawless Italian-influenced food with local ingredients at Lardo (9-minute walk); the rollo de guayaba is a must at breakfast. Kura (12-minute walk) is a traditional izakaya--a sort of Japanese cantina--with a massive, authentic menu.
