What is the best way to get around the city?

Because of the city's characteristics and for safety, we recommend the use of the hotel's taxicabs, over which we have precise control.

Can you recommend two places to go shopping?

The biggest commercial center in Mexico is Santa F6, which has the three largest department stores in the country and a variety of stores and restaurants. It is a huge center located half an hour from our hotel. Another choice is Calle Mazarik, in Polanco, where brand names such as Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Ferrari, and Ermenegfldo Zegna can be found, and excellent restaurants, such as Los Girasoles, Aqua, El Rincon Argentino and La Valentina.
