“A contemporary hotel decked out in the vibrant colours of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Spectacular views of the city from the plush suites, world-class spa and a choice of three restaurants. Attracts a chic, young crowd. Totally hip.”

Hotel review

For a big chain hotel the W Mexico City has a decidedly original and fun interior with richly coloured furnishings, innovative lighting and a huge water-filled pool in the lobby. Rooms come with round bathtubs and hammocks with vertiginous views of the city far below, there are three restaurants and a world-class spa to keep you busy and the service from its friendly young staff is impeccable.

"there’s the world-class Away spa, and fabulous steak and seafood at their restaurant, Solea. It’s tempting to spend your entire stay indoors."
