Sofitel Mexico City Reforma, Mexico

Dawn blushes across the Ángel de la Independencia as the city wakes in waves of headlights and birdsong.

Sleek and sky-high, Sofitel Mexico City Reforma is a design-forward city hotel with 275 rooms and suites, marrying French polish with Mexico City’s electric rhythm.

From glass-walled rooms that frame the skyline to a glamourous rooftop scene, this is the capital at its most cinematic.

What Makes It Special

• Gran ubicación en Reforma—close to museums, Chapultepec, Colonia Roma/Condesa dining
• Rooftop terraces & pool with near-touchable views of the Ángel and skyscrapers
• Urban spa & fitness for steam, swims, and jet-lag resets
• Refined dining & cocktails—French technique, Mexican ingredients, skyline sunsets
• Design aesthetic—marble, smoked glass, soft leathers, and warm brass

A Day at Sofitel Reforma

Morning

Espresso and a still-warm concha while the Ángel turns gold in the first light. A jog through Chapultepec Park’s eucalyptus shade, then a cool dip back at the rooftop pool.

Afternoon

Galleries and boutiques by day; late lunch of citrusy aguachile and perfectly crisp frites in a sunlit dining room. A siesta behind blackout drapes, city a hush below.

Evening

Golden hour on the terrace: the skyline goes apricot, your coupe beads with mezcal-and-grapefruit fizz.

Night

Taxis blur along Reforma; you soak in a deep tub scented with verbena, then fall asleep to a constellation of window lights.

Insider Tips for Sofitel Mexico City Reforma

• Mexico City is 7,000 ft above sea level — take it slow or bring altitude tablets.
• Bring pesos — the hotel doesn’t exchange currency, and museums or taxis often require cash.
• Check your bill carefully at checkout; a few guests reported errors or missing electronic receipts.
• Tip generously — from concierge to housekeeping, service is a highlight here.
• If driving, avoid valet parking; use nearby parking garages to prevent damage complaints.
• Avoid Sundays/Mondays if you want to dine at Balta or visit Cityzen — both can be closed or fully booked.
