Features
What to expect: Featuring bougainvillea and a white-marble-lined pool that's agitated in daylight and misted at night, the entrance signals that this monumental hotel is meant to be an in-city resort inspired by Mexico's tropical coasts. Renowned architect Ricardo Legorreta expresses his affection for geometric forms and expansive displays of bright colors to accent white stucco-like construction. Massive columns along sidewalks alternate with slatted sections offering glimpses into garden courtyards. Trees and shrubs soften walls around the hotel's six-block exterior. Inside, Legorreta employs signature elements such as parquet floors, variously colored marbles, oversized colonial furniture, huge flower displays, giant fruit sculptures, and little skylights in the enormous public spaces that are graced by 600 contemporary Mexican artworks.
Amenity highlights: Trees, lawns, and blossoms in the hotel's main garden courtyard create a tranquil ambience for a heated, 55-by-35-foot pool and a terraced sundeck furnished with cushioned teak lounges and umbrella tables. There is also a fitness center on site. Featuring a view of Chapultepec Castle, the hotel's garden-fringed rooftop includes a ballroom.

| I stay often at this hotel on my business trips to Mexico City. Be aware that they have different room views and decor under the same room category. So ask carefully what they will be giving you. Once I got a bathrrom with an asymetrical shower so low that I could hardlye take a shower. Other time I got a huge marble room. Both were the same level of room. The hotel has nice restaurants and an excellent cafeteria. Nice exercise room. Pretty small an inviting pool. I recommend this hotel versus other ones in the high end that do not offer much more real luxury just stiffer prices.

| The hotel form the outside looked like your typical NYC "shi-shi" hotel. Lobby and bar are impressive, but it stops there. The front desk was rude, alot of "extra" charges which you can't refuse, and it doesn't stop there. The rooms are dark, and mossy. Actually the hallways are too. Bathrooms looked like the public restrooms in a subway station. The only thing that are friendly are the custodians.

| I booked the hotel as part of a spur of the moment vacation. The price was very reasonable. The hotel was very well maintained, the staff always helpful and the room was large and comfortable. The view wasn't much - but not a big deal with me. I didn't use the hotel restaurants - but there were several to choose from. I enjoyed the stay and would definitely go back.

| Booked via Expedia special rate for one night on biz trip. Great value. Attractive setting, although my low rate room had no real view, which was fine. Superb room service and quick response with help me get onto high speed internet. Only criticism: when booking with Expedia, hotel wanted a printed confirmation, which I did not have.

| The hotel is very clean and service is OK. The distance from the lobby an the parking lot to the room is very long. Pay per view did not work in a executive "Club Room", when called, admin said it was being repaired and they would call when it worked, they never did.
