"Why book? For an upscale stay with top-notch service, a convenient location, and tons of great on-site restaurants. Set the scene It’s impossible to miss the sleek, 31-story high-rise on Paseo de la Reforma when looking at Mexico City’s skyline. And from inside the tower, the views are just as memorable thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows in each room and the expansive windows overlooking the main thoroughfare, all the way down to the Angel of Independence statue, in the main common area. You’ll see a mix of couples, business groups, and families of all sorts, from large, multi-gen groupings to parents toting a baby. Styles lean that specific brand of upscale laidback—Lululemon athleisure, blazers over jeans paired with Vejas, designer sunglasses. The backstory One of Marriott’s luxury brands, St. Regis is known for its luxurious “Signature Rituals”—Bloody Marys any time of day (created at the New York property, legend goes), afternoon tea, sabering a bottle of Champagne at happy hour, and the hosting of midnight suppers. Open since 2008, The St. Regis Mexico City is a family-friendly property in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood. In 2024, the hotel launched eight new garden terrace suites—a mix of one- and two-bedroom spaces with incredible outdoor accommodations, each giving guests access to their own outdoor hot tub, plunge pool, or in the case of the Caroline Astor Garden Terrace Suite, a full-size private infinity pool. In the Grand Deluxe Garden Terrace, there was a covered pergola, greenery, fireplace, and skyline views—an absolutely delightful place to start off the day with a cup of coffee (and mimosa). The rooms Designed by Yabu Pushelberg, the rooms—most with a king or two queen-size beds—follow a moody, rich purple and gray palette, and feature either floor-to-ceiling windows or glass sliding doors leading out to your terrace, as well as a seating area and workspace. All of the rooms are a very comfortable size, with thoughtful details like not one but two luggage racks, potpourri in the closet to keep it smelling fresh, and a jewelry holder in the bathroom. The rainfall shower is lovely, but the one area of improvement is the shower drainage—we had to lay towels down to keep the water from spilling into the vanity and restroom areas. Food and drink There are seemingly endless food options within the St. Regis. You can order Greek food at Mentor, omakase at Sushi Tatsugoro, traditional Mexican food at Diana, or go all in on an eight-course dining experience at La Table Krug (just be sure to reserve a few days in advance for that last option). The cocktails at King Cole bar are excellent, and room service is available 24 hours a day, with a mix of American classics and Mexican options. Of course, outside the doors of the hotel lie endless top-notch dining experiences, so if you’re limiting yourself to just one on-property meal, let it be Sunday brunch at Diana. An over-the-top spread of seafood, charcuterie, gorditas, quesadillas, sushi, pasta, and elaborate desserts await. The neighborhood/area Situated directly across from the Diana the Huntress fountain on Paseo de la Reforma, the area feels a little business-y at first, but you’ve got easy access to notable landmarks; Bosque de Chapultepec, a massive park that holds the zoo, Chapultepec Castle, and several museums; and neighborhoods like Condesa and Roma, with their many boutiques, bars, and restaurants. On Sundays, Reforma is closed to car traffic for a few hours, allowing a flurry of bikers, walkers, and skaters to take over the road. The service White glove, from the moment you arrive and are handed a cold water bottle on a silver platter. Butler service is the norm, available to guests of all room levels at any hour of the day. You can request that your butler pack or unpack for you, deliver morning tea or coffee, or even press a shirt or two. The staff is informative, helpful, and elegant. For families A luxury stay, yes, but also a family-friendly one. A kids club is available to little travelers ages 5 to 11, with games, toys, and art projects at the ready (open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday). There are kids' stations at brunch, candy and a teddy bear greeting little ones at check-in, and a candy trolley rolling around on the weekend to hand out sweets and popcorn. Baby wipes, diapers, and cribs are available through your butler, and a connection to trusted local babysitting services can be arranged upon request with the concierge. Eco effort It’s a Marriott property, so big picture, the brand’s Sustainability Goals are at work here. In terms of the tangible guest experience, electric car charging is available in the parking garage, and energy efficiencies can be seen in the motion-sensor lighting and escalators. Toiletries are full-size, rather than minis, but plastic water bottles are plentiful. Accessibility The property offers accessible on-site parking, elevators and accessible ramps to common spaces, and accessible rooms. For more information about services relating to a specific disability, call +52 55-52281818. Anything left to mention? There seem to be few requests they haven’t thought of in advance—you can even arrange an exclusive helicopter service if you so choose. Also, if you packed a swimsuit, squeeze in a morning visit to the pool or adjacent hot tubs—the view is excellent." - Madison Flager
