Zócalo Central

Located in downtown Mexico City, right beside the National Cathedral—once the site of Moctezuma’s Palace—this hotel provides useful perks like complimentary on-site parking and a scenic restaurant that looks out over the famous Zócalo plaza.

Housed in a building dating back to the 1890s, Zócalo Central features updated rooms and suites, some offering views of the Zócalo. Each unit comes with contemporary furnishings, a flat-screen TV, a work desk, and a roomy private bathroom stocked with complimentary toiletries.

Guests can dine on the restaurant’s rooftop terrace or venture out to nearby attractions, with the Fine Arts Palace and Alameda Park just a 10-minute walk away. The hotel also offers a steam room for relaxation.

The front desk at Zócalo Central can help arrange city tours or book tickets for shows and concerts. The Polanco business district is a 15-minute drive from the property, while Mexico City International Airport is only 20 minutes away by car.

Couples especially love the location—they rated it 9.8 for a two-person trip.
