Fodor's Expert Review Sheraton María Isabel
Paseo de la Reforma 325, Mexico City, Quintana Roo, 06500, Mexico
The first international chain hotel in Mexico City still has an incomparable location, exemplary service, and even cachet, but its modern competition is beginning to eclipse it. Don Antenor Patiño, the Bolivian "Tin King," inaugurated this Mexico City classic in 1969, and named it after his granddaughter, socialite Isabel Goldsmith. The marble lobby has gleaming brass fixtures. The well-maintained guest rooms feature extra-comfy Posturepedic mattresses, goose-down (or hypoallergenic) pillows, and coffee makers, while the pricier Club rooms boast free bottled water (replenished daily) and access to the fitness center and Club lounge; rooms are currently undergoing a gradual renovation, due to be completed in late 2015. Penthouse suites in the 22-story tower are extra spacious and have butler service.
PROS
- the location—across from the Angel Monument and the Zona Rosa, with Starbucks on the premises and the U.S. Embassy next door—is prime
- the staff are well trained and uniformly helpful
- hotel has Wi-Fi
CONS
- Wi-Fi (not even free in public areas) and breakfast are expensive
