Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Please review the "Travel" section of the website. We’ve reserved one hotel block at Andaz and have also listed Hotel Villa as a recommended option. You’re welcome to explore Airbnbs or other accommodations that best fit your preferences. However, if you choose alternate accommodations, we strongly recommend staying in the Condesa neighborhood or within walking distance of Hotel Condesa DF/Andaz/Hotel Villa. This will allow you to take advantage of the transportation we’ll provide to certain events from our two recommended hotels and help you avoid the notoriously heavy traffic.
