Mexico City is a metropolis that cares deeply about design. That means you’ll want to pack with an eye toward color, structure, and pattern, especially when checking in to this landmark Four Seasons property, which is fresh off an expansive reimagining by Mexican architecture firm Huber. Interior details are a celebration of the handmade: Ceramics, textiles, and hand-blown glass are
sourced from local artisans in craft centers like Guadalajara and Michoacán; red marble flooring in the rooms comes from Durango. And while Mexico City street style is some of the world’s best, the bar for dressing well here is set inside the lobby, where the staff wear uniforms by homegrown designer Kris Goyri.
Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City
Even though it’s set on busy Paseo de la Reforma, this name-brand luxury hotel delivers tranquil, boutique charms. Rooms are set around an interior courtyard, and you’re just a short distance from Chapultepec Park, offering respite from the hustle and bustle of Mexico City. Add to that all the other Four Seasons hallmarks—insanely comfortable beds, high-quality service, and wellness amenities like a pool, gym, and spa—and you’re guaranteed a memorable experience.
