High above even the city’s tallest skyscrapers, in the heart of Mexico City, Sofitel Mexico City Reforma glistens and awaits to welcome guests to the good life.
By putting the Sofitel brand’s philosophy of “joie de vivre” into practice on every level, Sofitel Mexico City Reforma offers a carefree, luxurious experience unlike any other in town.
THE DÉCOR
The entire property of Sofitel Mexico City Reforma is an architectural marvel. At the very front of the entrance, you’ll see the façade of a classic aristocratic French family home which is the only part of the original historic structure that’s been preserved. This classic house is now the location of the hotel’s excellent cocktail bar, Freehouse, which preserves the stately, historic charm of what the property originally was while slinging fabulous signature cocktails. Once you move onto the uber-sleek modern skyscraper where the actual hotel is located, every corner of each space in the tower is airy, contemporary and hyper-chic.
THE ROOMS
The rooms are designed in a futuristic mod style: think space-agey white wall panels, plush geometric carpet and minimalist yet uber-comfy midcentury modern furniture. If you’re feeling indulgent, go for the Junior Suite which is 452 sq ft of pure luxury. The suite is blissfully spacious with an open floor plan that seamlessly flows from the lounge to the bedroom to the bathroom. The rooms are outfitted to an inch of their lives with high-tech finishings that make every second dreamily convenient. From the built-in ceiling speakers in the bedroom and bathroom to the light sensors in the walk-in closet to the panoramic blinds that automatically go up when you enter the room. Everything is comfy, chic and convenient as hell.
THE VIEW
Guests can enjoy an iconic, unobstructed view of one of Mexico’s most famous monuments from many of the rooms that face the Angel of Independence. The rooms that don’t face the monument, still have glorious city views of Reforma and the endless skyline. The higher you go (the hotel has up to 50 floors), you’ll get ever more of a bird’s eye view of Mexico City’s sprawling metropolis spreading out to the horizon.
THE FOOD
The property is certainly well-equipped with a variety of top-quality food and beverage outlets. Balta is the hotel’s all-day restaurant where breakfast, lunch and dinner (and not to mention drinks) are served. At Balta, you can find upmarket Mexican dishes that are creative and fresh. You can get aguachile, ajillo shrimp or lamb chops smothered in mole sauce.
Bajel is the hotel’s high-concept fine dining restaurant which serves local seasonal products prepared with creative and meticulous elaboration in the artistic open kitchen. Think octopus with green mole and wild Mexican herbs, duck confit enchiladas with foie gras and spicy green ceviche with baby scallops, lychee and coconut. Also, don’t miss out on ordering the room service chilaquiles for breakfast some time because they’re to die for.
THE DRINKS
There are plenty of top-notch mixology to be found at Sofitel Mexico City Reforma, and a good cocktail is never far away. The aforementioned Freehouse has some seriously talented bartenders that have created a fabulous lineup of original cocktails which you won’t find anywhere else in the city.
Cityzen is one of Mexico City’s top rooftop bars where you can catch jaw dropping panoramic views of el Angel de la Independencia, Reforma and all the sprawling cityscape in between (even for guests, getting a table at Cityzen almost always requires a reservation). And of course, craft cocktails are also served at the bars in Balta and Bajel as well.
THE AMENITIES
There’s a swish indoor pool on the rooftop, where guests can swim laps, lounge on daybeds and sip drinks from the pool bar. Next door, there’s the super luxe fitness center with state-of-the-art workout equipment and panoramic city views to accompany your workout. Then there’s the dreamy L’Occitane spa, also located on the top floor. The spa consists of men’s and women’s saunas and steam rooms, plus jacuzzi, plunge pool and sound showers. And of course, you can choose from L’Occitane brand’s reliable menu of aromatherapies, massages, facials and full body treatments.
THE LOCATION
Sofitel Mexico City Reforma has an unbeatable location, just steps from the majestic monument of El Angel de la Independencia. Conveniently located in Juarez, it’s a quick walk to Roma and Zona Rosa and close to Bosque de Chapultepec and La Condesa. Plus, the hotel is easily accessible by metro and is a quick Uber ride away from the Palacio de Bellas Artes and other major museums.
Sofitel Mexico City Reforma is the clear top choice for travelers looking to live the good life in modern luxury during their stay in Mexico City.
