Hotel Carlota

"How did it strike you on arrival?Brick, metal, concrete, and wood give this hotel a contemporary, urban feeling. As does the location, near Mexico City’s Paseo de la Reforma. Nice. What’s the crowd like?The hotel attracts groups of 20-somethings and couples in their 30s and 40s. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Each of the 36 rooms has a slightly different design, but all of them echo the hotel’s contemporary vibe. Standard rooms have lower ceilings and smaller windows, so if you prefer lots of light, spring for one of the 10 rooms with a terrace. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Standard rooms are only outfitted with double beds; couples who don’t like to snuggle should consider upgrading to a suite with a king bed. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?If you’re traveling with kids, note that rooms have complimentary Mexican candies and toys. The minibar also has bars of Mexican chocolate, cigarettes, chewing gum, and mezcal. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Bathrooms have L’Occitane amenities and a contemporary-meets-old-school vibe (think trendy concrete sinks alongside pull-chain toilets). Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?The free Wi-Fi works well. Room service: Worth it?Room service is provided until 11 p.m. from the on-site restaurant, Casa Kun. The menu focuses on seafood-forward dishes prepared by chef Fernando Martínez Zavala. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.Early risers and light sleepers take note: The hotel centers around a pool, which is a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing but it can sometimes be noisy. The restaurant and bar, also at the center of the hotel, stay open until 11 p.m. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?I won't soon forget the impressive design and the small details in the bedrooms, like Mexican candies and L’Occitane bath amenities—nor the noise, which can lead to sleepless nights. Bottom line: worth it, and why?If you are into design and a heavy sleeper then definitely stay here. Otherwise, think twice." - Susannah Rigg
