The Best Places to Stay in Chapultepec Morales & around

Two entrances, two different worlds: one opens onto the boutique calm of Polanco, the other onto Reforma Avenue and the National Auditorium. This luxury hotel has been around forever and a recent renovation brought overhauled public spaces and a small cluster of new bars and restaurants, including a mezcal room and a cocktail bar inspired by the old railway that once cut through the neighborhood. Rooms run the expected JW register, polished and quietly serious.

Oscar Wilde-themed rooms in the heart of Polanco, which tracks: the neighborhood has spent decades perfecting the art of being seen. This boutique hotel leans into exec-chic without apology, with four room categories named for Wilde's characters, parquet floors, Egyptian cotton, and in-room espresso machines. The common areas feel like a members' club someone actually thought through. It holds a Michelin Key.

A frosted-glass shell wraps what was once an apartment block in Polanco, so that by day the building looks like a block of ice and by night an oversized paper lantern. This boutique hotel keeps the minimalism going inside, with stark white rooms, hardwood floors, and Eames-style chairs. The rooftop bar draws Mexico City's media and creative crowd, and a lap pool occupies the terrace below it.
