6 Mexico City Hotels for Every Type of Traveler
Chase Travel
The only thing harder than deciding what to do (and which taco to tackle first) in Mexico City is choosing where to stay. The options run the gamut—you can unleash your inner party animal at Hotel Fernando's vinyl-listening parties and weekly happy hours, or tap into your creative side at Brick Hotel, a designer's dream, with original ceramic tiles and artworks from the owners' private collection. Some hotels also cater specifically to history buffs and art lovers, like the Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City, which offers street art tours and a guided exploration of the Aztec ruins in the center of the city. Pick one of the properties below and, after long days of sightseeing (and eating), you can come back to a hotel that feels like it was made just for you.

Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City (Juarez, Mexico City)
Member of The Edit by Chase Travel
The Four Seasons offers special experiences for travelers who want to get out and explore the city's art and culture, from mezcal tastings to street art and graffiti tours.
For the design aficionado, the hotel provides rare access to private properties designed by renowned Mexican architects. Guests, for example, can tour Javier Senosiaian's Parque Quetzalcóatl, a wonderland of snakehead water fountains, a rainbow mosaic-tiled greenhouse and silver, egg-shaped bathrooms normally closed to the public. You can also book a visit to Luis Barragan's Cuadra San Cristobal, a former residence and horse stable built in the architect's signature modernist style.
The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City (Cuauhtémoc, Mexico City)

For unmatched views of Mexico City, it's hard to beat The Ritz-Carlton. The 58-story hotel offers sweeping views of nearby Chapultepec Park and the city from almost every corner of the property. You'll want to book a room with a private terrace with city or park views to really take advantage of the hotel's lofty position. The hotel's impressive vantage point even extends to the Carlotta Sky Bar, where you'll sip cocktails from the 38th floor.
ONTO Tonalá Mexico City (Roma Norte, Mexico City)
Combining the luxury of a hotel with the comfort of an apartment, ONTO Tonalá is an ideal pick for longer Mexico City stays. Like most hotels, ONTO offers a 24/7 concierge, free Wi-Fi and housekeeping services. But it also has amenities that are typically harder to come by, like a full kitchen in each room and on-site laundry.
Rooms here feel like the home of a plugged-in local friend who's into neutral wall art and curated book collections. Each apartment also has designated living and dining room areas, which you'll certainly appreciate after a few days of "working from home."
Orchid House Mexico City (Polanco, Mexico City)
Thanks to its location near a trifecta of popular museums (Museo Nacional de Antropología, Museo de Arte Moderno and Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo), Orchid House is an ideal home base if you plan to spend your days museum hopping. Guests can also book private tours of archaeological sites, museums and palaces around the city through the hotel's Orchid Society. The hotel itself feels like a museum-worthy treasure. The restored 100-year-old mansion features ceramic floors, stained glass windows and Spanish roof tiles that nod to the building's colonial history.
Brick Hotel (Roma Norte, Mexico City)
A stay at Roma Norte's chic Brick Hotel makes it easy to pop out and explore the hip Mexico City neighborhoods, restaurants and thrift stores. Just be sure to reserve a room with a clawfoot tub and a private balcony—luxuries you'll appreciate after a busy day exploring the city. You might be overwhelmed with the surplus of places to eat and drink in the area, but for a memorable night in, the hotel has, among other venues, a rooftop terrace and a moody speakeasy-style bar, where you can order inventive cocktails (like one made with yuzu and gold dust).
Hotel San Fernando (Condesa, Mexico City)
To get a feel for Mexico City's nightlife scene, consider a stay at Hotel San Fernando, a former apartment building that reopened as a hotel in the summer of 2023. Locals and travelers alike love this spot for its regular happy hours and vinyl DJ sets, hosted in the lobby lounge. The downstairs Lounge Fernando serves a small menu starring ceviche and shrimp tacos, plus a lineup of cocktails made with surprising ingredients like corn liquor and red cabbage. During your stay, you'll also enjoy exclusive access to the hotel's guest-only rooftop lounge for a nightcap (or two).
