Set in the leafy Polanco district, The Alest is an intimate boutique hotel where European flair meets Mexican artistry. With elegant, design-led suites, personalised service, a refined bistro and a discreet, cosmopolitan charm, it’s an ideal base for exploring Mexico City in style.
Set along leafy Eugenio Sue Street in Polanco, The Alest offers a quiet, well-placed base in one of Mexico City’s most design-conscious quarters.
With just 19 rooms, the hotel feels personal; marble bathrooms, curated art and rich wood finishes lend a refined, uncluttered look.
Nine rooms feature balconies above the treetops, best for those who want fresh air and a closer sense of the street below.
Chef Emmanuel Gomez Avila runs Restaurant 45, where the menu draws on Mexican produce shaped by European techniques.
Take one of the hotel’s bikes for a short ride to Lincoln Park, or ask for a model boat and join in the weekend pond racing.
A tranquil escape from the bustle of the capital, this hacienda-style luxury hotel boasts spacious rooms and suites set around an inner courtyard, easy access to the trendy neighbourhoods of Condesa and Polancoa, a relaxing rooftop pool and – in Fifty Mils – one of Mexico City’s coolest cocktail bars.
