Circulo Mexicano, Mexico, a Member of Design Hotels

Strange place to review. Great location just by the cathedral. Lovely roof-top bar. But the rooms all face in over a restaurant/shopping area which is noisy during the day. No natural light. Rooms are very imaginative - bed very comfortable. We had room x01 which was plagued by rooftop central air-con hum all day and night so beware that. Clearly a very fashionable and well-located place. You decide if it's good value for the high cost.

Excellent location. Fabulous food. Service was super helpful and welcoming. Rooms are very modern.

We worked for months with the hotel to plan a wedding-related welcome cocktail party. During the planning period, our hotel representative separated from employment (we do not know the reason) and failed to hand-off our event. We finally made contact with a new event representative after an extended period of trying. She was not aware of the promises made by the prior staff person and many details of the event had to be re-planned. Two weeks before the event, the representative wrote to us and "offered" to move our event to another, related hotel (or to another date entirely, which made no sense at all). She realized that a protest was scheduled for the date of our event and said that the surrounding area would be too congested and "a little dangerous." When we learned that the protest happens on the same date annually, we registered our disappointment--why would the hotel book our event on that date, accepted our deposit, and tell us only two weeks before that our event could not happen as scheduled? After this, the representative told us that we misunderstood--that we could in fact have our event as planned, even though she had previously told us that the area would be "a little dangerous." We ultimately did the only thing we thought was reasonable and moved the event to the related hotel in Condesa. No concession was offered for the problems we had with our planning, and the hotel representative made it seem as if she was doing us a favor in moving our event. We gave the hotel several chances to make things right with us, and our wedding planner got involved and did the same. After the event, we gave specific, detailed feedback and were told only that the hotel would closely consider it. Based on our experience, I would not recommend this hotel for any event-related purpose.

The hotel was beautifully designed.

Rooms were architecturally interesting as is the entire hotel - roomy and great beds & shower. The breakfast which was included was delicious with a gorgeous setting in the rooftop across from the cathedral- with jacuzzi, sauna, small pool and deck and bar. And the rooms were QUIET. The staff was lovely. Right near the Historic Centro. Great oasis in the middle of all the history. Unique layout.
