Sandra O.

An Unforgettable Urban Oasis. It didn't just meet my high expectations of its brand; it soared above them, offering an experience that was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we arrived, we experienced impeccable service that made our stay truly memorable. The hotel itself is a masterpiece of elegance, blending classic Ritz-Carlton sophistication with subtle Mexican influences. The ambiance is both grand and welcoming and set the stage for the perfect stay. This Ritz offers exceptional service (not all do, especially in North America). The staff here operate with a seamless, anticipatory grace that is both genuine and warm. They create an atmosphere where every need is met before you even have to ask. It is this commitment to excellence that transforms a great hotel into a legendary one. The gym and spa The hotel has an absolutely stunning wellness facility. The gym is, without hyperbole, the best hotel gym I have ever seen. It is a vast welcoming space is wonderful, it also has alkaline water . The pool, sauna, and entire spa area are outstanding, providing a serene and lavish environment for relaxation and rejuvenation high above the city. I loved this the most. Mexico City is 10k feet above sea level and honestly we felt it all the time. It's exhausting. The Sky Bar on the 38th floor is a destination in itself. The panoramic views of Chapultepec Park and the city skyline through its floor-to-ceiling windows are simply breathtaking. The venue boasts a vibrant, sophisticated energy and attracts a chic crowd, making it a popular spot for both hotel guests and in-the-know locals seeking an unparalleled setting for drinks and conversation. Go at 6pm for the traditional welcoming evening ceremony. A Special Mention: Brandon's Exemplary Service In a hotel where the service standard is universally high, Brandon, a waiter at the Sky Bar, deserves special recognition. He personifies the art of hospitality--attentive, knowledgeable, and engaging. His presence significantly elevates the experience, making you feel not just like a customer, but a valued guest. He is a true credit to the establishment. In Conclusion The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City is a flawless urban retreat. With its spectacular amenities, including a peerless gym and spa, the unforgettable Sky Bar, and a service culture exemplified by team members like Brandon, it stands as the premier choice for a luxury stay in the city. Highly recommended for travelers seeking an extraordinary and comprehensive five-star experience. About the restaurant, while I left a review under the restaurants actual name I'll mention it here also. Absolute perfection! A 38th-floor sunset view that will steal your breath, delicious and expertly crafted food, wonderful wine, and service that is second to none. Yes, it's expensive, but we cherished every second. A flawless dining experience from start to finish. I recommend the pork belly.

Fantastic hotel with the best views of Chapultepec park. The staff was extremely attentive and everything was clean. The restaurant, bar, pool, and workout room all faced the park as well. I will say the heated pool was more tepid, but still enjoyable. Also, if you're looking to work from the room it doesn't have a desk, just a low table.

Always one of the best. The service, top of the line. The restaurant is amazing. Highly recommended.

phenomenal experience. drinks were full of flavor and so intricate. both ling ling and Carlotta were must visits at this New Mexico City location.

ABSOLUTELY, yes. If you're on the fence between the Ritz and the St. Regis while in CDMX, it's the Ritz all the way. This property is only a year old, has phenomenal views and sits right across from Chapultepec park. Gorgeous, modern property. The color palette is Carrera marble, walnut, navy and gold, accented with subtle hints of beloved Frida. The hotel scent is delicious and enveloping in the best way. Rooms have floor to ceiling windows with trusses running throughout which gives me some reassurance (?) on the 54th floor in such an earthquake prone city. The windows and heights allow for amazing city views to watch the sunset or storm blow in every evening when back at the room. (Request a corner suite) What makes this property the most phenomenal though is the staff, including the concierge. I worked with the concierge to book some experiences a few weeks in advance, and they absolutely delivered. The cooking classes, hot air balloons over Teotihuacan pyramids, Xochimilco and restaurant reservations were all seamless, and very special, memorable experiences. Marcus and Karen replied instantaneously to every question we had to set these up as well as throughout our stay. All we had to do is send an email while out and about and we received excellent support. Our drivers were complete professionals, who wore suits (SUITS!), fought the city traffic while we rested and delivered us every where we wanted to go without issue. Absolutely every aspect of our stay was luxurious, indulgent and restful. I fell head over heels for Mexico City and will stay at this property on future visits.

Incredible hard product, views from every room are quite impressive. Floor plans are quite well thought out and finishes are state of the art. Room service food is good but not excellent. Location is also superb. The one minor of improvement for this hotel would be the house keeping for a hotel of this caliber I would expect that the rooms are impeccably clean. Did I mention each room has a glass (floor to ceiling) balcony that's worth looking down on even if you're scared of heights. Great elite recognition too.

If you have the opportunity to go to this amazing restaurant, make sure you do it while you're in Mexico. This restaurant is located on the 38th floor of the Ritz Carlton hotel. The views overlook the entire city and Chapultepec park. They have a variety of options for food and everything we have was on point. This is by far of one of the top 10 restaurants in Mexico City. You won't be disappointed. As for the service at this location is by far one of the best I have experienced. Waiter knows the entire menu by heart doesn't write anything down when he's taking your order and got everything completely right. My wineglass was never empty. There is literally nothing bad. I can see about this restaurant. It's not cheap though. It's in the higher end of the restaurants in Mexico City.

Ritz Carlton is a must see with wonderful views and impeccable service. The drinks were work of art definitely recommend.

The Ritz in Mexico City is a must see with its beautiful views, impeccable service, and amazing drinks. It's top-notch.

Coddy A.

This is a long review. Scroll to the last paragraph for the tl/dr. Let's start with what we know.  The staff at any Ritz Carlton is always properly trained, and anxious to to help guests in anyway they can.  They have a way of bonding with the guest, and providing exceptional service.  The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City is no different. Usually this legendary service is enough to overcome any shortcomings the hotel may have. Unfortunately, for this recently opened hotel, the design elements, and policies beyond the control of the staff make this a one and done experience for us. No better example of both design and policy flaws than with valet car retrieval. This is both a hotel, and residences. While other Ritz-Carlton's have this combination, this was our first experience where guests of the hotel were treated as a nuisance to the residents.  For some reason, the owners of this hotel thought it would be a good idea to drop your car on the drive, but to retrieve, you must go to the basement in the resident's garage an On top of that, only one hotel guest may go down at a time, because too many guests bother the residents. (Residents complain about the hotel guests in their space.  Sorry you bought a place that is also a hotel) So if you have others in your party, they must wait on the drive. Sending a single woman to the garage by herself didn't seem safe, but that is how it's done. Residents are allowed as many as they like it would seem. Cars are not retrieved on a first come, first served, Residents come first, then hotel guests when they can.  We were ignored (walked past multiple times by residential garage and door staff without so much as an acknowledgment, let alone offer of service.). Car retrieval can take a long time. Now onto design.  The rooms were not thought out.  Building support beams are a feature of the room, and reduce the size substantially.  The furnishings were awkward, too large for the limited space and not practical.   While some level of technology is expected in today's world, technology should make your life easier, not just be there for the cool factor. Here again the owners and designers didn't have the guest in mind.  They tried to go high tech with bedside control of lights and curtains. Lights were either all on or all off, no dimming. There was a day setting, and a night setting (basically the up lighting turns off). If you get up in the middle of the night, a motion sensor causes low lighting to illuminate fully. I assume so you have light to walk to the bathroom. Problem is it is so bright, it wakes your sleeping partner.  No way to disable. Curtains and sheers are either open or closed.  Their position engages lighting presets. Hope you like it, because that's what you get. The best design of the whole room is in the bathroom. Unlike the room, which is underwhelming, the bathroom gives you an initial sense of awe.  A soaking tub is the focal point. An oversized shower, separate commode, a large double sink, and marble throughout.  It's only after you begin to use it do you find design flaws as well. Like the room, lighting is either on or off and even when on, the lighting is dim.  Can barely see to shave.  Can't imagine needing to apply make up. While the combined double well of the sink is large, the size limits the area around it to lay out toiletries.   Getting around the hotel is also problematic. The high tech elevators (no buttons in the elevator cabs) take you to your destination, but it's a journey.  If you drop your car in the motor lobby, you must first take an escalator or elevator up one floor to the hotel lobby.  From there you exit the elevator, press the button to the 38th floor "Sky Lobby", get back on the same elevator and go to your next stop. At the 38th floor you exit the elevator again, walk to another elevator bank swipe your key which will take your guest floor. It's not intuitive, and is very involved. If retrieving your car, do all that in reverse, then add a forth elevator to the basement. Besides being the hotel's transfer station for the elevators, the 38th floor is also where the restaurant and bar are. We did try and found the food to be what you would expect at a Ritz-Carlton. Top quality, inspired, and delicious. The cuisine is Mediterranean. Service was on point. Again, with the few notable exceptions above, the staff really has it together.  Not easy since undoubtedly, they are still working out some kinks that come with a new hotel. tl/dr: Something about this hotel was off putting. It took us a while to figure out what it was, but we the  realized it was in the design. You walk into a glass and steel high rise building, with no character or warmth. Get on an elevator (or 2, or 3, or 4) and you are taken to either the restaurant or your room floor. There are no public areas where you experience anything. No place to commune with friends or other guests. Any public space is really just a hallway between elevators.

We were travelling from Australia. Our room and the ambiance of the house is tasteful and cosy with a stunning art collection, soft music and a beautiful peaceful garden. It is a refuge away from the busyness of the city. The breakfasts are to die for and the happy hour was an opportunity to socialise and network which is helpful when the city is new to you. For me the two friendly resident pet dogs were a bonus as I was missing my own. I can't recommend the Red Tree House enough.

But after my stay here, I can say they were absolutely right!!! This is the most perfect hotel/B&B EVER. I'm so glad I stayed here over other soulless hotels that were cheaper. From the first welcome to the last goodbye, every staff member here has made us feel so warm and cared for. Breakfast: This was my absolute favorite part -- I usually don't care for hotel breakfasts because I'm always on the go, but once I had the first bite, I moved our itinerary around so that we could get their breakfast every morning! They start around 7am with the bread and coffee, but the hot breakfasts start at 8am and end at 10am. I got to try chilaquiles, enchiladas, and enmoladas while I was here, and they really make them with heart and soul! These were the best things I ate during my trip to Mexico City! Also really loved the outside garden in the mornings with all the greenery and birds chirping. Location: in the heart of La Condesa, walking distance to Roma Norte, both neighborhoods were great for strolling through parks and art galleries. We ubered to other places further away and it was so cheap and convenient. Rooms: We stayed here for 4 nights and went to Oaxaca for 3, then back to the Red Tree House for the last night, and both rooms we had were cozy and comfy, with AC. They have great shampoo/conditioner and shower gel, amazing water pressure and temperature, everything was so clean, and I got to sit outside in the balcony and took it slow for the last morning we were there. Housekeeping was amazing, everything was perfect when we came back every night. Safety: They lock their front doors and the front gate so you need your key to get in, and there's a safe in every room. Happy Hour every night 6-8PM: This was such an unexpected bonus! I didn't even plan for us to be at the hotel during those hours because I wanted to see everything in CDMX, but it ended up raining during those hours and we went to one, and it was so much fun chitchatting with other like-minded travelers who shared what they loved about their trip -- We ended up going to a few more & got so many tips from other guests! The hotel dogs Romeo & Booz - I love them and miss them so much! Side note: I LOOOOVED all the art work and interior design and colors. Felt like I was in an art gallery but at the same time so comfortable at a friend's home. HIGHLY recommend!!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!

Everything from the pre-stay communication and exceptional customer service to the beautiful and tastefully decorated accommodations was world class. My wife and I started our honeymoon with two nights in La Luna suite, one of only three rooms at the hotel. Prior to our stay, I emailed several times with the staff to hammer out some details. They provided a beautiful complimentary bouquet of white roses in our room, which was more of a luxury one bedroom apartment with kitchen and superb bathroom. Emails were returned within a matter of minutes, and always were very pleasant. Our initial flight to Mexico City was delayed for four hours, and we missed our opportunity to visit the archeology museum. When we arrived to La Valise, we were welcomed with a shot of very tasty mezcal and freshly sliced orange. The hotel then delivered our luggage to our room along with the remainder of the bottle of mezcal while we went for a walk in the neighborhood, again complimentary. The attention to detail in our room was superb. The bathroom was supplied with excellent soaps and shampoos, along with fragrant bath salts to use in the claw foot tub. The refrigerator was stalked with complimentary still and sparkling water, beer, and juice. Wifi was excellent, with a UE Boom speaker and Apple TV provided. Breakfast was fresh and delicious, and the complimentary coffee provided by the shop next door was exceptional. The icing on top of our trip happened when we unfortunately left a cell phone in the back of an Uber. We left Mexico City early the following morning, making it impossible for Uber to return our phone to us. The hotel helped us facilitate calling our carrier to turn off service to the phone, and volunteered to allow us to use them as a contact for the return of the phone. The manager, Roberto, communicated with us frequently to let us know the phone had been returned, and is going to meet us at the airport in several days to hand deliver while we have a lengthy layover on our return home... On Christmas Eve Day!! I cannot recommend this hotel enough. It exceeded our expectations.

We booked the El Patio which is on the first floor (our friends did La Terraza which was on the third floor with a roll out to the balcony bed!). We didn't have that luxury but our stay was one of the most pleasant stays we've had at a hotel. Our suite was tastefully appointed. Incredibly comfortable bed, and a darling patio with a swing and a hammock. We couldn't spend much time on the patio because it rained quite a bit while we were there. A special shout out to the bath products - divine. Breakfast was simple but fresh and delicious. Fruits, yogurt, granola, and fresh juice. Room service was catered by Rosetta and El Khalifa. The UE roll added an atmospheric vibe, perfect for lazing around the suite. The only con, if any, is I wish they had more lights in the room. I highly recommend this lovely little hotel. Roma Norte is a delightful neighborhood and you'll enjoy exploring all its little secrets.

And a good friend of mine, when doing tours of Mexico, chooses it, made me want to try it. Walking distance from the Line 1 Metrobus on Insurgentes is a big plus. Ditto its proximity to both Roma and Condesa neighborhoods. Reasonably priced, and perfect for my solo visit. A firm but not uncomfortably hard bed (hard beds can be an issue in Mexico. Hotels buy harder beds to last longer and it can be like sleeping on concrete. Good WiFi. Lots of electric outlets. A great shower with almost immediate hot water. I was once in a hotel or two in Puebla where one had to run the water so long for the hot water to travel to the room that one felt very guilty about wasting all of that water. I loved the walk-in shower because of its ample space and found that this room, number 205, for a single traveler, had an incredible amount of space for me to lay out all the stuff that I had to lay out. Another plus was the plastic garbage bucket which I was able to fill with water and do daily washing of my clothes because I had forgot to pack enough. And in this particular room, everything dried overnight. Dryness. Make sure you've got drinking water. The fan worked fine and I did not have any need for air conditioning. The month was April. All in all, although I am trying a different hotel every two nights in order to find ones to recommend, I would stay here again, but I would probably book a junior suite as traveling with my wife would mandate a larger room for sure.

It's a hugely busy street, with buses, garbage trucks, police, ambulances, and all kinds of other loud automobiles roaring by at all hours. Every time a large car rumbles by, the entire hotel shakes. The room had no air conditioning, was rather spartan, and no screens over the window. Watch out after a long night of drinking tequila! The small fan in the room was nowhere near ample to keep things cool here. It was horrible. The second room was much nicer- for an additional surcharge, you can upgrade to a room with an air conditioner! It had a large Jacuzzi, and a television. This room faced Calle Popocatapetl, which is a much less busy street, so things were quieter. The lights all worked, and the TV had limited reception, with about a dozen channels. The sink and the toilet got clogged easily. The staff at the hotel was on the ball- they were helpful and courteous. The prices were quite low. The internet was out much of the time, and when it worked, it was spotty and slow. The hotel has a restaurant on site, and the place was clean. They take credit cards. Hotel Roosevelt is located right next to a bus stop, but not too close to the subway. It's in a cool neighborhood, and there's lots of fun places to eat and drink nearby.

We intentionally chose this hotel for its historic location and were aware of the location in the Zócalo area, which we were completely fine with. I will say upfront that the doormen were the highlight of our experience. They were consistently welcoming, informative, and far more helpful than the front desk staff. We booked a Zócalo junior suite and made multiple efforts in advance both by phone and email to request early check-in and a higher-floor room due to potential noise from the square. Upon arrival early in the morning at six am, we were told our room wasn't ready and were handed a key to wait in a lounge area. However, no one directed us there or explained anything the doorman had to step in and assist us. Unfortunately, the lounge itself was not very clean, with crumbs visible on the couches. When check-in time approached (around 2:30 PM, slightly before their standard 3 PM), I reiterated our request for a higher floor. Despite this, we were assigned room 103. We were told no other rooms were available, even though we had been there since 6 AM. Not wanting to go back and forth, we accepted the room. After a long overnight flight (delayed nearly three hours), we went to rest. Shortly after, we were woken up by a window that would not stay shut. There was an event in the Zócalo, so noise levels were extremely high. Additionally, our room was positioned directly below portable restrooms, and there was a noticeable sewage smell. Maintenance was sent to close the window, but we were hesitant to open it again after that. Being on such a low floor also meant we had no privacy and could not comfortably open the windows anyway. The following day, before leaving for the pyramids, I called the front desk (in Spanish) to request room cleaning and additional towels. When we returned around 2 PM, nothing had been done. Upon calling again, I was told that I had requested "room service," which was incorrect. There was no apology only blame. When housekeeping eventually came by, I had to gather trash myself from the bathroom and we were informed (for the first time) that a sign needed to be placed outside the door to receive service. This was never explained during check-in. Over the course of our four-day stay, our room was cleaned only once. The room itself had several issues. The air conditioning did not work properly and made loud noises throughout the night, leaving us waking up overheated. Because of our room location, opening the windows was not a viable option. The shower was also unsafe the handle was loose and nearly came off when I grabbed it, causing me to almost slip and fall. There were also loose electrical outlets in the bathroom, which was concerning. Additionally, our room consistently smelled like sewage, even though the hallways and lobby did not. The lobby itself was often overcrowded with visitors taking photos of the ceiling, making it difficult to move through at times. The room also did not match what was advertised online. The beds were not the four-poster style shown in photos instead, they were standard beds with a detached headboard that repeatedly knocked against the wall throughout the night. Overall, this stay was very disappointing. Between the lack of cleanliness, poor service, and room issues, it did not meet expectations especially for a hotel of this reputation. While we understood and accepted the challenges of the location, the service and room conditions were the main concerns. Unfortunately, I would not choose to stay here again, and part of me wishes we could receive some form of refund for the experience. Tips: For those traveling don't stay here if you don't want to walk to your uber especially late at night. If there are events that will result in street closures you will have to walk even further to get an uber. There was protests in the zocalo when we were there. At night the homeless come out and sleep around the area and right by the hotel. Ask for a higher floor or take ear plugs cus you won't be able to sleep there is a bar or a club somewhere that plays music till 3 am.

Breakfast was included, nothing spectacular, but everything was solid, good coffee, fresh fruit, fresh pastries, good jams and yogurt. Perfect, light start to the day. The room was not big, but well laid out with every amenity, refrigerator, beverages, Nespresso machine, bottled water and a selection of assorted snacks - all complimentary (except alcohol, unnecessary with all the good bars nearby). The gym was literally situated in a single hotel room on the lower floor. It was tiny, but fully equipped for a one-person, HIIT session. The single issue was the incessant bass drone from the bar nearby. Earplugs didn't work because it wasn't possible to mask the low Hz frequency effectively. Every major museum was about a 25 minute stroll through scenic neighborhoods to get to. Some of the best restaurants (Nobu, Sylvestre) were around the corner. All in all this is probably the best place to stay in CDMX. If not for the bass from the bar, which was totally not the hotel's fault, this was probably the quietest hotel I've ever stayed in Mexico (no children or pets, I think, but not sure). No drunk teens shouting in the hallways - idyllic. About $500-$700/night depending on date. Totally worth it.

Serene, high end, boutique hotel in the beautiful Polanco neighborhood. You are steps from parks,…read morerestaurants, bars, and luxury shopping. Avoid the big, hectic hotels and stay here instead.
