W Mexico City
Signature modernity with 1960s flavour




A little off from Jardin Winston Churchill and the plethora of cafes, bars, shops and galleries that make up the fashionable Polanco district, W Mexico City impresses with its bright lights and anytime attitude. A flavour of Mexico is injected with a painterly flourish informed by noted artist couple Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, in rooms equipped to deal with the modern traveller as standard. Late night libations are ever on hand on the hotel’s Terrace nightspot and Living Room, with live music and full bottle service while steak and seafood specialities can be had as late as midnight at restaurant Solea.
