Where to Stay
Hotel-wise there are so many options to choose from, and frankly you will be better off browsing hotel websites and AirBnB.

Condesa This neighbourhood is famous for amazing restaurants, art galleries, and beautiful parks. 2. Roma Norte Trendy, green, and full of cafés, boutiques, and restaurants. Perfect if you enjoy a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. 3. Polanco Upscale and elegant, close to luxury shopping, top restaurants, and Chapultepec Park.
