Frommer's Review

This dramatic 26-story business hotel is a sophisticated mixture of style, comfort, and technology. The entry encompasses a series of stepped lounge areas with koi ponds; the trendy four-section Whiskey Bar also features a heated outdoor terrace. Rooms are striking, with cherry-red walls, white featherbeds, terrazzo floors, plasma TVs, and a spacious and comfortable work area. Stylish bathrooms have walk-in showers and a hanging hammock; some rooms have a large circular tub. Eight high-ceiling "loft" suites afford views of Chapultepec Park, green-glass showers, and plasma TVs on the ceiling above the beds. Business traveler amenities include nine high-tech conference rooms that seat up to 400, a complete business center, and "cyber rooms" with printers, scanners, and fax. The hotel's full-service spa and health club are excellent. Solea, a fashionable seafood restaurant blending Mexican and Asian flavors, offers terrace dining for breakfast or lunch.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 4 bars; full-service spa; concierge; tour services; business center; room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; CD and DVD library

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
