Mexico City
One of the world's great cities is also one of its most underrated — a megacity of 22 million with world-class museums, Latin America's finest food scene, extraordinary pre-Columbian archaeological sites, and more colonial architecture than any city in the Americas. CDMX (Ciudad de México) has reinvented itself as one of the most exciting destinations in the Western Hemisphere.

Where to Stay
Hostel Home Mexico City
What guests say
“Best hostel in the Colonia Roma neighborhood — pool, social atmosphere, and excellent taco tour run by staff on arrival. Mexico City as it should be experienced.”
“Very social and well-located in Roma Norte. The taco crawl organized from here converted me into a Mexico City permanent fan.”
Condesa DF Hotel
What guests say
“The coolest hotel in Mexico City — a converted 1920s mansion in the Art Deco Condesa neighborhood with an extraordinary atrium courtyard. The rooftop bar is legendary.”
“Condesa DF is Mexico City distilled — design, food, music, art. The neighborhood is the best in the city and this hotel is the beating heart of it.”
Las Alcobas Mexico City
What guests say
“The finest hotel in Polanco — the Anatol restaurant is extraordinary, the spa is the best in CDMX, and the service standard is exceptional throughout.”
“Mexico City luxury done properly. The neighborhood is ideal — world-class museums, parks, and restaurants in every direction.”
