Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City

The Four Seasons Hotel Mexico City sits on Paseo de la Reforma in Colonia Juárez, close to the Bosque de Chapultepec. The hotel describes itself as hacienda-style, and the design is built around a central courtyard with a garden, a colonnade and a fountain, which gives it an enclosed, inward-looking feel. Its position between Polanco on one side and Roma and Condesa on the other makes it a practical base for exploring several of the city's most visited districts.

Rooms range from Deluxe and Premier Rooms to Premier Terrace Rooms with outdoor space, One-Bedroom Suites and the Governor Suite. In-room dining is available around the clock, from breakfast to late-night desserts, and there is a spa for treatments after a long day of sightseeing.

Food and drink are a major part of the hotel's appeal. Fifty Mils is a cocktail bar that the hotel describes as internationally recognised for its inventive drinks. OMA is a 21-course omakase of sushi, sashimi and nigiri, using seafood from Mexico and Japan, served to just ten guests at a time: eight at the counter and two in a private booth, in an interior by the designer Ezequiel Farca. Zanaya serves seafood in the style of Mexico's Pacific coast, Il Becco offers Italian cooking from an open kitchen with an extensive Italian wine list, and Pan Dulce serves Mexican and French pastries with coffee in the courtyard. At weekends there is a Mexican-inspired brunch with live music and terrace seating.

The hotel suits couples, business travellers and anyone who values a quiet retreat after busy days in the city. It also arranges experiences outside the city, including hot-air balloon flights over Teotihuacan and a mezcal experience in an agave field, which saves organising them separately. Book OMA and Fifty Mils tables early if you plan to visit them during your stay, as seating is limited.

Chapultepec forest, with the Museo Nacional de Antropología and Chapultepec Castle, is within easy reach, and the hotel highlights Polanco, Roma and Condesa as nearby districts for dining and culture. For bookings and room details, the hotel's website lists each category with photographs.
