"Offering a 19-room retreat in a 1940s-era residence in Mexico City’s Polanco, this hotel provides an intimate stay just a short drive from the stadium." - Julia Eskins
"Set in the posh neighborhood of Polanco, a stay at this elegantly renovated Spanish Revival–style mansion feels like a peek inside the lives of well-to-do chilangos (Mexico City locals). Polanco is within walking distance from sites like Chapultepec Park, a popular hangout for local families on the weekends, and lovely for morning jogs; and a short drive from Museo Soumaya, known for its unique architecture and mirror-like façade. Just around the corner are the trendy Roma Norte and Condesa neighborhoods for eating, drinking, and boutique shopping. While many Mexico City hotels play to classic heritage motifs, Casa Polanco shows off a different side of the city. Here, the lines are clean, neutrals take precedence, and there’s a subtle prep-school flavor with houndstooth pillows and plaid napkins. Given this is a home, soak up the spaces that so clearly remind you that you're in one. Order a glass of wine at the lobby bar and take it to one of the many shared terraces; after a long day, grab a nook in the well-curated library and flip through one of the coffee table books on Mexican art, history, or culture." - Susannah Rigg, Michaela Trimble
"Located on the iconic Parque Lincoln in the ritzy Polanco borough, situated beyond a wrought-iron entranceway shrouded in greenery, this Spanish Colonial Revival estate was originally built as a private residence in the 1940s. After undergoing a meticulous four-year restoration process overseen by the architect Claudio Gantuz, Casa Polanco is now one of the area’s top boutique hotels, host to 19 opulent suites and one of the city’s top art collections. Interior design mother-daughter team Monica Romo and Monica Novelo of Casa M+M selected an eclectic mix of both classic and retro furniture to accent the property, which can first be seen in the foyer, a space made cozy with velvet olive furnishings and a marble fireplace. Within the home are green marble floors made even more vibrant by whitewashed walls, as well as a spiral staircase that leads to the suites. Within most of the rooms are two areas—a living and a workspace—as well as walnut wood flooring and custom furnishings by Alfonso Marina, one of Mexico’s finest cabinetmakers." - Michaela Trimble
"Tucked in upscale Polanco, Casa Polanco's ornate 1940s architecture and terraces bursting with plant life create an elegant, intimate retreat out of what were once two private homes. The 19-room boutique features an onsite restaurant with soaring ceilings bathed in natural light, luxe rooms with custom-designed textiles and furniture that reflect the building's original architecture, spa treatments in private cabins, a cozy library with park views, and an elegant patio that's a wonderful spot for a cigar and a conversation." - The MICHELIN Guide
"An exceptional Two MICHELIN Keys hideaway in a 1940s neocolonial mansion, offering quiet luxury across 19 individually designed rooms with marble bathrooms, serene neutrals, and bespoke decor; there’s no full restaurant, but breakfast and tea service are top-notch." - Caitlin Gunther
