Hilton Mexico City Reforma
"How did it strike you on arrival?Enter the lobby at this luxe downtown hotel, with sky-high ceilings and moody light fixtures, and you'll immediately want to post up on the low-slung, contemporary furniture (and stay a while). Nice. What’s the crowd like?Guests are a mix of business travelers and well-heeled vacationers, who’ve likely chosen the hotel for its location, within walking distance of Zócalo and the Palace of Fine Arts. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Standard guest rooms are spacious and classically designed in a palette of white, brown, and beige. Amenity junkies (with deep pockets) should consider booking a room on the Executive Floor, which has its own lounge (complete with complimentary snacks) and check-in area. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?The trademark Hilton serenity beds are incredibly comfortable and topped with soft, white sheets. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?I appreciated the Cuisinart coffee maker and ergonomic desk chair for when I needed to do work in the room. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The marble bathrooms have both tubs and showers. Suites have Jacuzzis. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?The complimentary Wi-Fi is strong. Room service: Worth it?The room service menu is varied and offers international classics as well as Mexican favorites. If you can get out of that robe, head to one of the hotel's three restaurants for a sit-down experience. Staff: If you could award one a trophy, who gets it, and why?All of the concierge staff are well informed and eager to help. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.Don’t miss the beautiful rooftop lap pool or the spa, which has a steam room and a Jacuzzi. Guests with disabilities have the option to stay in specially designed accessible rooms. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?You can’t beat the incredible city views at Terraza Alameda restaurant. Bottom line: worth it, and why?The Hilton Mexico City Reforma is a classic example of “you get what you pay for.” (In this case, that’s quality amenities at a luxury price point.)" - Susannah Rigg
