Spring Travel to Mexico City

Mexico City (Cuidad de Mexico, Distrito Federal Mexico) or the DF (for those in the know) is like any urban metropolis: busy, chaotic, and cosmopolitan. That makes it an ideal getaway for culture, art, and good food. This is the place to be to experience rooftop hotel parties, unforgettable cuisine, and a conflicting mixture of progression, history, and architecture.

The trendy neighborhoods include Polanco and Condesa, and you can easily get lost in the cute cafes and swanky shops in these zones. The ultra chic CONDESAdf Hotel is the newest jewel on the scene, and has quickly taken its post of modernity and sophistication. As a collaboration of Parisian designer India Mahdavi, South Beach hotelier Jonathan Moor and Mexican architect Javier Sánchez de Sánchez Higuera, CONDESAdf is a hotel for those that like to be on the scene.

Its sister property, Habita Hotel, is a modern minimalist boutique hotel which houses actors, businessmen, and models. Don’t miss their signature champagne and tamarind martini at open-air bar, AREA. Enjoy the springtime breeze at the pool deck AQUA.
