The Mexican capital has so much to offer that you'll hardly be able to do everything you want in just one trip.
The biggest question is always about hotels in Mexico City, so in this text we will give you some options in different neighborhoods.
Mexico City is one of the largest metropolises in the world, but it has a well-defined tourist zone, which makes life easier when deciding where to stay.
Here at Guia México, we consider that the best areas to stay in Mexico City are the Paseo La Reforma corridor, in the historic center, near the airport and in Colonia Roma.
When deciding where to stay in Mexico City, it is important to take into account what your purpose is there, what means of transportation are available and what you want to see in the city.
That's why we've prepared this post with 6 hotel options in Mexico City, to help you decide on the best option for your trip.
Best hotels in Mexico City
Historic Center of Mexico City
The historic center is the area with the highest concentration of tourist attractions, as well as excellent transport infrastructure, shops, restaurants, bars and convenience stores.
It is generally an area chosen by those who like busier areas and are going on a trip, being closer to the attractions.
An important piece of information is that during the day the area is very safe and policed, but late at night and in the early morning you need to be more careful and avoid walking alone.
