"The sheer scale of Mexico City’s downtown district can feel a bit forbidding, but behind the walls of a stately building just two blocks from the Zócalo is Umbral, Curio Collection by Hilton, an upscale boutique-style hotel by the venerable American hospitality brand. Inside it’s both stylish and warm, its clean lines softened by rich colors and impressive contemporary artworks. There’s an art gallery on site, as well as a vinyl library, an outdoor swimming pool, and multiple restaurants, including two by the celebrated chef Daniel Ovadía, serving creative local fare for a variety of occasions." - Tablet Hotels
