"The 37 rooms at this La Condesa hotel feel like minimalist, inner-city loft apartments. The brick walls, light wood floors, leather headboards, and kitchenettes (plus private terraces or balconies in the suites) are strategically planned to accommodate business travelers on extended stays. But AR 218 still appeals to leisure-traveling couples from Europe and the U.S., many of whom choose the hotel for its prime location near the city's best restaurants, bars, and parks." - Susannah Rigg
