Being steps away from Paseo de la Reforma and el Ángel de la Independencia you're conveniently located to dozens of restaurants and shops in the area, and only a short distance from the Zocalo and other major tourist destinations. It's also a short walk to Reforma 222, a shopping mall out front of which you purchase a ticket and catch the double decker sight seeing buses, which are a great introduction to the city. There is a coffee shop on the corner, and a block down a Starbucks, and EcoBici rental bikes close by. Bicycling in the busy city may seem a bit intimidating at first, but it's a great way to see the city and most major roads have dedicated bike paths. The doormen are great and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it. We never stopped going in 7 days and feel like we barely scratched the surface. NOTE: be sure to plan your trips to big attractions like Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul, Palais de Bellas Artes, and museums for week days, since the weekends see a BIG influx of tourists and lines get long, and places sell out.
Sunday morning is a great time to stroll the Paseo de la Reforma as it is closed to traffic.
Also be advised the tour buses have to take alternate routes at this time.
