We’re so excited to celebrate with you in Mexico City! To make the weekend as seamless and special as possible, we’ve arranged a group rate at a beautiful boutique hotel in Polanco, and we hope that all guests choose to stay here so we can share the full experience together. Having everyone in one place means easier coordination, spontaneous meetups, and more time to enjoy each other’s company throughout the weekend. We fell in love with this spot for its central location and walkable charm. Nestled in the heart of Polanco, the hotel is surrounded by some of the city’s best restaurants, cafés, and boutiques — making it easy to explore, shop, and experience the culture of Mexico City right outside your door. The hotel offers a variety of room options, from elegant king rooms to spacious suites. If you’re traveling with family or a group of friends, we recommend booking a suite — these feature separate bedrooms with a shared living space, perfect for staying together while still having privacy and comfort. To access the group rate, please use the code brookeandsarah when reserving your room. We encourage you to book as early as possible to ensure you get a room! We can’t wait to have everyone under one roof to celebrate this special weekend with us.
Travel Note
Please make sure your passport is up-to-date and not expiring within 6 months of traveling to Mexico City. Also, when you arrive in Mexico City, you will get an immigration slip. Keep this with your passport, as you may need it when you leave the country.

The easiest and quickest way to get to Mexico City is by flying into Mexico City International Airport, also called Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez (airport code MEX). Its about 20 minutes from the airport to the city. We recommend getting an Uber from the airport to the city; however, if you are not able to get an Uber for any reason, please use the authorized taxi services that are located in the airport terminals. TIP: If you’re coming from San Diego or elsewhere in California, the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) is a great way to fly out of Tijuana directly into Mexico City. It’s easy and usually less expensive.

Uber is super simple and safe to use around the city — perfect for a taco run or last-minute adventure. Uber works the same as it does in the US/UK/AU, just make sure to have it downloaded in advance.

DRINKING TAP WATER: When the municipal water leaves the treatment plant it meets all global safety standards. However, the deteriorating distribution system of old pipes makes it a risk and we suggest drinking bottled water only (brushing your teeth, showering, washing dishes, etc. is all perfectly fine with tap water). EATING STREET FOOD: We encourage you to try the wonderful street food CDMX has to offer - but again use common sense. Go to a street vendor who looks busy, who is cooking on high heat, and whose products look fresh. Avoid uncooked greens (like lettuce / salad) from street vendors. Pack Imodium if you have a weak or sensitive stomach. This can also be purchased at a local pharmacy. CURRENCY: Mexico uses the Peso, which can be exchanged at the airport upon arrival or withdrawn from any ATM using your debit card. You should carry some cash ($500-$1,000 MXN, approx $25-50 USD) for eating at the local markets, buying a water from a street vendor, or purchasing crafts at the artisanal markets. Most sit-down restaurants accept credit card - with or without PIN. WHAT TO PACK: Event attire is noted in the "Events" section of the wedding website. During the day most people will feel comfortable in casual attire (t-shirt and pants, long dress), keeping in mind it gets very chilly at night. CHARGERS/CONVERTERS: Just like the US and Canada, Mexico uses Type A and B plugs and operates on 127V supply voltage and 60Hz EMERGENCY NUMBERS: Emergency services can be accessed by dialing 911. The US Embassy is +52 (55) 5080-2000
