The 5 Best Hotels in Mexico City (Updated 2025)

"Housed in a late-19th-century building right on the Zócalo, this four-star hotel is as centrally located as you can get; the rooftop bar offers absolutely incredible views over the square and I love that the complimentary breakfast is served up there every morning with both Mexican dishes and continental staples. Guests get free bicycles, a fitness center, and a steam room, plus a unique perk: a 24/7 lobby café where everything is complimentary (coffee, tea, pastries, fruit, sandwiches, and snacks) and fridges of free water and fruit on every floor. The guest rooms have a historic, moody feel with stormy grey walls, dark hardwood floors, wood-beamed ceilings, and chandeliers, yet double-glazed windows make them quiet; all rooms feature a desk, plus-sized TV, AC, safe, and a coffee machine, and the bathrooms, while a bit small, have showers with excellent water pressure and complimentary toiletries. This is an excellent choice if you want to be close to many of the city’s main sights." - Matthew Kepnes
