Ask for a top-floor room with a view.
Fodor's "This refurbished older hotel on a busy street in the heart of downtown is a bargain, with many of the amenities of the more upscale hotels at less than half the price." Full review

Request a remodeled room (the firm mattresses and new dark wood furnishings are well worth the additional M$60).
DK Eyewitness "This small hotel with 116 rooms has a lovely lobby with gleaming marble floors, dark woodwork, and arched windows."
Michelin Guide "The Catedral is right in the heart of the city a block from the Zocalo-so noise can creep in-but the rooms are spacious, comfortable and attractively decorated."
Lonely Planet "The semimodernized rooms and on-site restaurant at Hotel Catedral are good, and the location (right next to the church) and accompanying views are excellent"

Lonely Planet "One of the four sentinels opposite the Auditorio Nacional, this 25-floor business hotel is determined to break away from the stodginess of its neighbors." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "All the chain’s stalwarts are present and accounted for: black-clad staff, poser-friendly bar, souped-up Ikea-esque furnishings." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The hotel has a contemporary design and the decor is tastefully elegant although accented in pulsating red."
Star Service "Young, hip travelers and businesspeople will prefer this over the Hyatt (the former Nikko) and InterContinental hotels a few doors down." Full review
Gayot "Sporting a hip, fun aesthetic and impressive design, the W in Polanco is where the beautiful people flock on the weekends."
Travel + Leisure "Overlooking the tree-lined streets of Polanco, the top-of-the-line facilities at this spa include a fitness center, steam room and sauna; but you can also treat yourself to a centuries-old temezcal. " Full review
