With its vibrant culture, historic landmarks, and top-notch culinary scene, there’s no denying that Mexico City is magnificent. However, it’s also a sprawling megalopolis, which makes finding a place to stay there seem all the more difficult. That said, those craving an upscale, centrally located stay can — and should — rest their head at Marquis Reforma Hotel & Spa. Situated along the famous Paseo de la Reforma thoroughfare, this sophisticated property is sure to impress. Ahead, our full review.
The Look of at Marquis Reforma Hotel & Spa
Marquis Reforma Hotel & Spa is characterized by its striking Art-Deco inspired, pink-hued exterior complete with glimmering glass accents. The interiors are also eclectic, starting with the lobby, which features an incredible selection of sculptures specially selected by the hotel’s owners — along with elegant marble floors, colorful floral arrangements, and an eye-catching chandelier.
The 204 rooms and suites also combine Art Deco style with contemporary flair, with plush headboards, sleek brown furnishings, and elegant marble bathrooms. For a worth-it splurge, consider one of the top-floor suite options, such as the Marquis Loft Suites (which offer a duplex layout complete with a kitchenette) and the Marquis Suite (which feature a private terrace with an open-air Jacuzzi).
We’d also be remiss not to mention the sleek common areas, including three restaurants, a piano bar, and a pool and gym — the latter two of which are situated inside glass-enclosed atriums that let in plenty of natural light. There’s also the 16,000-square-foot spa, which has an indoor/outdoor vibe thanks to an abundance of greenery.
