Camino Real Mexico City

I have stayed in many hotels in Mexico City and my second time in Camino Real Polanco, Mexico City.  Before going to the real travel reviews let me give you some of the hotel background. 

The Camino Real, Polanco mixes design and architectural elements of Mexican culture.   The common areas and rooms are decorated in Mexico’s vibrant pinks, blues, yellows and natural wood that make a great combination in the décor.  If you are into architecture, you can appreciate Ricardo Legorretta’s design.  I personally like it, I found it spacious and cozy at the same time, but maybe not for everyone,  at your arrival you might find the hotel lay-out a bit confusing.

What makes this hotel highlight from many other five star hote,  is the great variety of international and famous restaurants located inside the hotel.  For me these restaurants make a huge complement to my stay, either if you are going for business or for pleasure, you could consider having a romantic dinner in this hotel.

 

Location

The hotel is located in the Polanco area, behind the Chapultepec Park, near the Tamayo and Modern Art Museums, where you want walk nearby Chic shops and gourmet restaurants.

Adress:  Mariano Escobedo 700 Colonia Nueva Anzures, 11590 Mexico City

Rooms

The first time I stayed in this hotel, the room was magnificent, it had a balcony with a view to the pool.  But my last stay, unfortunately it wasn’t like my first experience, they gave me a room with a street view that doesn’t compare to the main patio, the bed was very uncomfortable, you could hear the noise from the street and the furniture was dated.  I think it’s kind to find bottled water in your room specialty if it’s a high quality hotel.  My recommendation is; stay in the pool side rooms which seems to best choice.

Service

All the employees have great attitude towards you, they all smile to you and seen if they can help you with something.

 

Hotel Restaurants

Camino Real Polanco, has many bars and international restaurants that really complement your stay.  Here are some short restaurant reviews of a couple.

The whole design of Le Cirque in Mexico belongs to architect and interior designer Adam D.
