Hotel Imperial

Frommer's Review

This classic hotel, which dates from 1904 and has been designated a historic monument, is one of the most memorable buildings along the Avenida Reforma. It has been the home of one Mexican president, the site of the assassination of another, and, for years, the U.S. Embassy. The Imperial changed hands several times before returning to its original name and status as a premier hotel in 1989. Popular with foreign -- especially European -- guests, it's one of the best values in the area. Rooms are extra large, with high ceilings and carpeting, although the traditional-style furnishings are dated. All have either a king or two double beds, plus desks and sitting areas. Bathrooms are large, with tubs and separate vanities. Each master suite, at the tip of one of the five floors of the building, has a unique triangular bedroom overlooking Reforma Avenue, living/dining room, bar, and whirlpool in the bathroom. All rooms are accessed from a central atrium with staircase (there's also an elevator).
