Las Alcobas, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mexico City

We had a great stay... The staff were courteous and very helpful!! The went over and beyond to make our anniversary trip a special one! The lobby was beautiful too!

An absolutely amazing luxury hotel in the Polanco district of Mexico City. The staff were professional and of the highest quality. The room was wonderful - a huge, soft bed, a shower with three choices for water flow (side, top and/or wand), free soft drinks and snacks, great soap (you get to choose your soap type!) and wonderful amenities. The area is upscale and full of great shopping and food. Five stars.

Best hotel in Mexico City in the best neighborhood.

Bottom line is Las Alcoboas is one of the classiest hotels in Mex D.F. conveniently located in Polanco. My business associates were staying at The Four Seasons and while pleased with some of the amenities of a larger hotel were extremely disappointed in the physical plant. True, the rooms at L.A. are not large but they are well-appointed and fully automated, including a state of the art Toto toilet the cleans and dries your derriere (crazy, no?).

Great service. Make you feel like this have been your home for years....

Mexico City surpassed our expectations with its great vibe and friendly people. We stayed in Polanco at Las Alcobas. Polanco reminded me of Taksim Square in Istanbul and some parts of South Beach - charming, absolutely safe to walk around at any hour, clean, lively, and fashionable. I recommend Mexico City as a travel destination, it is steeped in history, with monuments and great museums (the two we could get to with limited time in hand were the Archeological Museum and Somaya Galleries - both world-class) and great food choices. One day we walked around for ten miles with food, drink and sightseeing stops - unthinkable as before leaving we were apprehensive about the safety of the city. As a hotel, Las Alcobas made our stay very much more pleasurable. The happy and hospitable staff, a great manager who took personal interest in our well-being, our artistically decorated and well-appointed room, the best of locations in the city on a street laced with top shops and eateries, and proximity to a pretty park. A couple of tips... in the city do not board a random cab - that is a no-no - get the hotel (even on the way in from the airport) to book you the cabs. I read the metro is very good and safe but we did not get a chance to use it. Remember the altitude of Mexico City (9000 feet above sea level), so pace your exercise and walks to get used to the rarified air. We did not get a chance to visit the pyramids nearby - did not make it a priority as we have visited pyramids elsewhere in Mexico and Central America (Tikal, Guatemala is the most awesome), but I suggest if you have time to keep it in your itinerary.

Hotel is great. I would definitely stay agai . Neighborhood is a little noisy but central.

The hotel service was excellent, truly a great experience and worth every penny.

Beautiful neighborhood. First class shops and mall - but the same ol' same ol' international luxury type shops so better for anthropological sightseeing than good shopping. The museums within walking distance can't be beat. National History, Anthropology, Soumaya, Jumex, Modern Art, Tamayo and more we probably don't even know about. Chapultepec Park is excellent for a stroll or run, and the other green spaces are beautiful. The only complaint is that the hotel fitness room is small, limited equipment, windowless and isn't open until 9AM.

Smack bang in the middle of Polanco, really fantastic dining in-house with other options close by. Love the bathrooms - monsoon showers, Toto toilets and some really unique marble Hotel staff speak perfect English and very willing to help out.
