"Inspired by a fictitious tale of a roving British family of adventurers, The Alest brings a distinct sense of British hospitality to Polanco. Beyond a sleek façade, guests are greeted by a contemporary lobby and bar, where a white marble staircase leads to 19 sophisticated rooms and suites. The property’s restaurant, 45, is helmed by chef Fernando Martínez Zavala, who specializes in contemporary Mexican cuisine with a flair for international presentations. Adjacent to the restaurant is the ground-floor bar, which features a signature cocktail crafted by the mixologists at Limantour, often regarded as one of the best bars in Mexico City." - Susannah Rigg, Michaela Trimble
