Visitors to Mexico City are finding more accommodation options than ever, as well-recognized hotel brands targeting a variety of price points debut around the city.
New Hotel Arrivals to Mexico City
Already open is Andaz Mexico City Condesa, which opened this year in the hip-and-happening Condesa neighborhood. The second Andaz-branded property in Mexico (and the first to be located in an urban setting), the hotel features the trademark chic Andaz ambiance and is home to a Pasana Spa & Wellness facility, a rooftop pool, a “Tulum-inspired” rooftop restaurant called Cabuya, a ground-floor cafe and an array of pet-friendly amenities, including the Wooftop Beer Garden & Canine Club.
Still to come are two properties in the Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants portfolio, both in the upscale Polanco neighborhood. The 48-room Kimpton Virgilio, scheduled to open this summer, will have a restaurant and rooftop bar, as will the 32-room Kimpton El Castelar, which is slated to open by summer 2024 and will exude what the company describes as an “understated, high-fashion” vibe.
Another new boutique arrival in the city’s hospitality scene this year is Volga, an eye-catching new member of Hamak Hotels, a company that also manages the 19-room Casa Polanco. Volga, located one block from Reforma Avenue in the Cuauhtemoc neighborhood, will feature design-forward guestrooms, a speakeasy bar, a restaurant headed by Chef Juan Manuel Gonzalez and a rooftop terrace with a music stage and a day club. The hotel will also host a series of “happenings,” including exhibitions of art and photography and Asian-influenced Edo Kobayashi food experiences.

Travelers looking for new, value-priced accommodations in Mexico City can also find a new option this spring, when Texas-based Bunkhouse unveils Hotel San Fernando, a 19-room boutique hotel in the Condesa neighborhood across the street from Parque Mexico, one of the area’s prettiest small parks. The hotel will have a lobby bar, lounge and rooftop area.
The three-suite La Valise Mexico City will double its size with eight new suites.

As several new properties debut across Mexico City, some existing hotels are also adding new features and services. The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City, for example, recently opened the Carlotta Reforma Sky Bar and is introducing a new Tailored Experiences program that includes private tours around the city.
In the historic city center, meanwhile, Umbral, Curio Collection by Hilton has debuted two art galleries. And in the stylish Roma neighborhood, two boutique hotels are expanding. Ignacia Guest House, which is set in a 1913 mansion, has added four new rooms and outdoor spaces. And the three-suite La Valise Mexico City, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is more than doubling its size — with eight new suites coming this summer and plans to add a spa and indoor swimming pool later this year.
