Orchid House is a light-filled turn-of-the-century mansion on one of the tree-lined street Campos Elíseos. Each suite is filled with vintage details, such as Spanish tile and punched-tin ceilings, and don’t miss the orchid left in the entryway. Walk one block north for the shopping street of Masaryk or head a block south to the giant Bosque de Chapultepec.
Conveniently on the edge of Polanco and the exclusive Lomas de Chapultepec neighborhood, Las Suites is perfect for anyone on the move in Mexico City. Take your pick from one of the 91 suites before heading up to the rooftop pool for views over the city. And don’t miss the complimentary breakfast or round-the-clock coffee, tea and fruit bar.
The Green Park Hotel occupies a renowned art deco building just off Avenida Constituyentes, across the street from Bosque de Chapultepec and a short walk to the nearest Metro station. Each of the 33 suites has a refined look, decked out with English-style furniture, and comes with views of the park or the interior patio. Begin your day on the patio for breakfast, but don’t forget to check out the rooftop lounge to watch the sunset fall over the Chapultepec trees.
Casa Emilia belongs to a new generation of luxury bed and breakfasts cropping up around the city. It has just seven rooms, so your stay is sure to feel intimate, whether you pick the airy, white-walled suite with open windows or the exposed-brick bedroom with blackout curtains. It’s perfectly located between Polanco and other key points of interest, including the nearby Ángel de la Independencia on Avenida Reforma.
Las Alcobas has become synonymous with a kind of upscale luxury you only really find in this Mexico City neighborhood. In a renovated 1950s apartment building, this boutique hotspot combines a modern façade with a muted, tranquil interior that feels a world away from the bustle of the business district. All the 35 custom-designed rooms have five-star status and subtle Mexican touches.
A pioneer of modern accommodation in Mexico City, Hotel Habita has a (literal) icy exterior. The eye-catching property looks like a giant ice cube, sweltering in the Mexico City heat. This sense of cool extends to the interiors, with stylish furnishings, modern art, chic lighting and whitewashed walls. The decadent rooftop pool is another standout feature at this spot.
