Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico
More photosExpert reviews
“The Gran Hotel flaunts the French art nouveau style of the pre-revolution era. Crowned by a stained-glass canopy crafted by Tiffany in 1908, the atrium is a fin de siècle fantasy of curved balconies, wrought-iron elevators and chirping birds in giant cages. Rooms do not disappoint in comparison.”

Gran Hotel Ciudad de México offers a modern and elegant stay along with breathtaking views of the main plaza to the guests. This 5-star hotel is located in the heart of the city, close to many famous attractions.

The building was originally built in 1526 as a residence of the Royal Accountant. In 1895, it was turned into a shopping center – the first ever in Mexico. Finally, in 1968, it was inaugurated as a hotel representing a unique cultural heritage that is worth exploring. One major highlight of the hotel is its Tiffany-style stained glass window, which is said to be one of the four largest windows in the world.
The hotel also houses one of the best restaurants in Mexico City, La Terraza Restaurant, located on the 5th floor. This restaurant offers finger-licking good cuisine through their exclusive a la carte menus. The Metropolitan Cathedral and the Presidential Palace are located within walking distance of the hotel. The spectacular Castillo de Chapultepec gardens are also located nearby – just a short drive away. While you admire the interior of the hotel and its services, don’t miss capturing the breathtaking views of Zócalo Plaza from the rooftop.

Condesa Haus B&B, Mexico City
Lonely Planet“Owner and host extraordinaire Fernando took an old art deco home and turned it into one of the most stylish boutique hotels in Mexico City. Each room has a different theme and decor but doesn’t feel kitschy. Be sure to check out the original tiles and stained-glass window in the Puebla room.”

El Patio 77, Mexico City
Lonely Planet + 2 more“Stay in a 19th-century mansion with eight tastefully appointed rooms, each decked out with crafts from a different Mexican state. Like that Huichol bead art or Oaxacan black ceramics in your room? Take them home with you – guests can purchase basically anything in the house that’s not bolted down.”
