"How did it strike you on arrival?The busy street disappears as you step into the lobby and catch sight of the stunning spiral staircase, plush furnishings, just-right lighting, and fresh flowers. Nice. What’s the crowd like?Well-dressed business people and couples from the U.S., Europe, Mexico, and beyond, finally taking that hard-earned vacation. The good stuff: Tell us about your room.The rooms, which are designed by Canadian duo Yabu Pushelberg, are luxurious in the kind of understated way that values comfort over frills. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?Memory foam mattresses (that can be made softer or firmer upon request) are topped with light-as-a-feather goose-down bedding. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that find its way into your suitcase?The minibar includes Mexican candies and bath oils (the bath is a big deal). Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.The deep soaking tubs are outfitted with hydrotherapy jets, mood lighting (for “relaxation’ or “rejuvenation,” for example), a soap menu, and even a self-cleaning mechanism (you’re welcome, germaphobes). Maybe the most important topic of all: Wi-Fi. What’s the word?Fear not, business travelers: The Wi-Fi is strong and free. Room service: Worth it?Order off the menu at Anatol. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?That bathtub is like something out of a dream. Bottom line: worth it, and why?The hotel is among the most expensive in the city, but it lives up to the hype." - Susannah Rigg
