Why People Love It

8.7⭐189 reviews
  • Location is unbeatable—walkable to Pujol and Lincoln Park
  • The Living Room Bar is a legitimate local nightlife hotspot
  • Rooms are massive by Mexico City standards with funky, non-corporate design

Quick Take: A loud, sexy, aging party host that’s still fun to hang out with but might keep you up past your bedtime.

Reviewed by @femme_foodie: I stayed in the Wonderful Room and it was honestly a vibe. The neon lights under the bed and the hidden bar made it feel like a private lounge. Plus, the Polanco views are stunning. It's the perfect spot if you love modern design.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers love the Polanco location and the friendly staff, but the 'party vibe' is polarizing.

Reality check

The 'open concept' bathrooms with see-through showers and toilets are a nightmare for anyone not in a romantic relationship.

  • You thrive on high-energy lobby vibes and DJ sets
  • You want to walk to the best restaurants in Latin America
  • You appreciate bold, quirky design over beige luxury

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of missed dust in corners.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but the aggressive tile patterns can hide grime. Some grout wear visible.
  • Maintenance: Showing its age (2003 build). Occasional peeling paint and worn carpets reported.
  • Linens & towels: Standard W quality—crisp and decent, but not ultra-luxury.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells of signature W perfume; some rooms have lingering humidity/musty smells.

Before you book

Good to know

  • The 'pool' is actually just a large hot tub in the spa area
  • WiFi is NOT free in rooms unless you are a Marriott Bonvoy member
  • Valet parking is surprisingly affordable for Polanco (approx $5-10 USD/night)

What to pack

  • High-quality earplugs (essential)
  • US-to-Mexico power adapter (though many outlets are US-style, voltage is same)
  • Dressy casual outfits—Polanco is stylish

Room Genie

Best picks

  • Marvelous Suite for the best views of Polanco
  • High-floor rooms (20+) away from the elevators to minimize lobby bass

Rooms to avoid

  • 24th floor rooms (directly under the event space/moving furniture noise)
  • Rooms near the elevator banks (constant foot traffic and chatter)
  • Lower floors (vulnerable to street and lobby noise)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am a light sleeper requesting a room on a high floor (20-23), strictly away from the elevator bank and NOT on the 24th floor under the event space.”
