The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City is now a shining new fixture on the bustling cityscape that is Mexico City, giving travelers a standard of hospitality and the security of consistency they seek in the world explorations. Transforming the city’s skyline and sitting amongst the country’s tallest buildings, the hotel is centrally located along the iconic Paseo de Reforma and offers uninterrupted views of the famed Chapultepec Park.
“Whether enjoying a hotel tour with a local historian to be immersed into the Mexican rituals and celebrations that inspired the hotel design, or allowing our concierge team to curate a day of exploration in the city, we are excited to provide both guests and locals with a unique lens on this incredible destination,” said Donna McNamara, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, The Ritz-Carlton.
At 58-stories high, The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City is an emblem of stunning architecture concepted by Taller G and features 153 guest rooms and suites. A double glass façade provides unusual open-air terraces that bring new perspectives on the city. The interiors were created to serve as a looking glass into Mexico City’s storied past, present, and future, paying homage to the city’s profound influence on the surrealist art movement spearheaded by such artists as Frida Kahlo, Gunther Gerzso and Leonora Carrington. The use of metals, mirrors and glass serve to reflect the exterior into the interior, creating a moving surrealist experience by playing with perspective and distorting the surrounding, traditional architecture. A neutral color palette as a backdrop invokes calm in shades of smokey ash, deep blues, and metallic fibers that are woven in throughout the hotel as a nod to Mexican storytelling and folklore.
As for amenities, the Ritz-Carlton hotel features a wide range of carefully curated conveniences designed for cultural discovery and epicurean adventures or business travel — including The Ritz-Carlton Club® Lounge with an exclusive Club Concierge, a heated indoor swimming pool, large fitness center with state-of-the-art equipment and a signature Ritz-Carlton Spa with six comfy treatment rooms. The Spa uses locally-sourced ingredients and botanicals, and couples them with the healing and spiritual traditions of Mexico City’s Aztec culture. In addition to relaxing and rejuvenating treatments, the spa features an assortment of wellness areas, including steam rooms, saunas, and a timeless capsule room.
Dining at the The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City is best enjoyed at Samos, the Mediterranean inspired restaurant on the 38th floor.
