There are hotel stays that simply give you a bed for the night, and then there are stays that become part of your travel story. My time at the W Mexico City fell firmly into the second category. Between the stunning views, world-class service, vibrant Pride celebration, and chic rooftop spaces, this hotel offered so much more than just a place to sleep.

The Location: Polanco, Mexico City

The hotel is set in Polanco, one of Mexico City’s most upscale neighborhoods. Polanco is known for its designer shopping, renowned restaurants, leafy parks, and cultural gems like the Soumaya Museum. What I loved most was how easy it was to get around from here—whether walking to nearby cafés, catching a quick car ride to explore the city, or simply wandering the stylish streets. Polanco felt both safe and full of character, making it the perfect base for a luxury stay.

The Rooms & Views

Our room struck the perfect balance between modern design and comfort. Everything was immaculately clean, thoughtfully styled, and equipped with all the little touches that make a stay seamless. But the real star was the view. Waking up to the Mexico City skyline glowing in the early morning light, and later watching the city sparkle at night, made the room feel like its own private escape above the bustle.

Service & Room Dining

The attentiveness of the staff stood out from the very beginning. Every request was handled quickly and with care, creating a sense of ease throughout the stay. Room service was exceptional—not just prompt, but beautifully plated and genuinely delicious. Enjoying a meal while overlooking the city from our room was a highlight that combined comfort with a sense of indulgence.

Rooftop Bar & Jacuzzi

The hotel’s rooftop bar is a destination in itself. With its stylish vibe and panoramic views, it’s the perfect spot to sip cocktails and soak in the energy of Mexico City, especially at sunset when the skyline glows.

Equally memorable was the rooftop jacuzzi. Nestled high above the streets, it offered the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. Between the bubbles, the skyline, and the relaxed atmosphere, it felt like having a secret sanctuary in the middle of the city.

Pride Celebration – The Drag Show

The absolute standout of my stay was the drag show put on during Pride week. It was vibrant, joyful, and brimming with energy. Glitter, music, and artistry filled the space, creating an atmosphere of celebration and inclusivity. Being able to experience that within the hotel made the stay feel even more special—like I wasn’t just a guest, but part of a larger moment of joy and pride.
