It was unclear from the Airbnb post which hotel it was. It turned out to be the “Gran Hotel México” across the street from the National Palace. This was everything we wanted from our host: an early colonial building. The hotel was beautiful and the reception staff were incredibly accommodating.
We didn’t get in until after 2AM local time and there were 2 reception personnel awaiting at the main entrance even though everything else was a ghost town. Something I only experience at true luxury hotels. Each night they ensured they knew who was in the building beginning in the early evening hours which made us feel safe and attended to.
If we stay in the Historic Center again we’ll definitely return here and recommend it to friends and family. Great value and service.
