"The culinary love letter to Mexico City, El Presidente is adding especialidades to its usual menu in celebration of Valentine’s Day, and couples can expect a take-home treat after finishing up their meal." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Located across from Chapultepec Park in the upscale Polanco neighborhood, this 42-story hotel is one of the toniest addresses in Mexico City, boasting not one but three presidential suites that routinely host celebrities and heads of state alike—including President Barack Obama. All 700 guestrooms were refurbished in 2015 so even standard rooms boast sleek, modern appointments, while suites offer varying levels of space and luxurious amenities. Whichever you choose, be sure to ask for a room on the highest possible floor to better enjoy the jaw-dropping views over the park, skyline, and mountains beyond. The hotel’s main restaurant, Au Pied du Cochon, is open 24 hours a day, just like the Parisian bistro from which it takes its name. Other on-site dining options include the Palm Steakhouse, a hip Mexican restaurant, and an Italian eatery with an outdoor terrace. Guests are also within walking distance of some of Polanco’s trendiest restaurants. When it comes time to unwind, there’s an intimate, Nordic-inspired spa on the hotel’s 10th floor."
"How did it strike you on arrival?Between the grand entrance, centered around a contemporary sculpture, and the lobby, all shiny floors and plush furniture, this hotel has a very traditionally luxurious feel. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Business travelers and well-heeled leisure folk, often carrying designer handbags. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.Staring up at the building's exterior, you wonder why the windows were built in a kind of wide grid. But step inside your room and you'll understand: Each one has a rectangular pane of glass that's nearly the width of the space, offering true panoramic views of the city. Oh, and by the way, those colorful touches are courtesy of Mexican designer Piñeda Covalin. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Soft linens, quality mattresses, and a selection of pillows. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?You'll probably wolf down that Yucatecan chocolate from the minibar before checking the price. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The in-mirror TVs are ace for watching the news while you get ready in the morning. Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?The Wi-Fi is strong but comes at an additional cost. Room service: Worth it?You should really eat at one of the hotel's six restaurants (or in one of the Polanco neighborhood's award-winning spots), but the room service menu has a variety of international and Mexican classics. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?The hotel is 42 floors-high, so the views are seriously impressive. Bottom line: worth it, and why?The high level of service and comfortable rooms make the InterContinental a good option for anyone, but the small Mexican touches make it feel less like a generic luxury hotel." - Susannah Rigg
"If you're looking for an international adventure, head to one of the best hotels in Mexico City: InterContinental Presidente Mexico City."
