Finishing up a 3 night stay here. This is my second time at the HR Mexico City, first time was probably 5 years ago.
Even though its a "business" hotel, I came with wife & 2 kids (4yr and 1yr) because my stay last time was so pleasant, and the location is A+ in Polanco.
Like last time, great hotel overall.
Although I believe there has been some kind of minor refresh to some rooms, its still a bit dated, as there are areas which need some repair & maintenance in the hallways, elevator lobbies, etc.
We were up in a Regency King room up on the 38th floor. Amazing views of the city. Our room looked like was in very good condition, newer furnishings, and comfortable although small for 4 people.
Regency Club continues to be outstanding, good selection of hot and cold items both for breakfast and at night. Service is also excellent at the RC, made us a few custom items (nothing crazy, stuff like hard boiled eggs, hot chocolate, etc) for the kids.
The Regency Club manager even gave me a complimentary 30 minute massage at the spa after seeing how exhausted I was taking care of the kids. Pretty damn awesome of him. Got to use the facilities and they were above average for what is definitely a business and not resort hotel.
As before, the location cant be beat. its right in the heart of Polanco, which is where we wanted to be. Easy walk to tons of outstanding restaurants, parks, and other attractions both for kids and adults.
We did drop by the JW Marriott just a few steps away, very impressive hotel and looks much newer. But still, for the price, I dont think the HR Mexico City can be beat, and we'll likely be back again in a few years.
Side note: For anyone wanting to try out one of the most outstanding restaurants in Mexico (and the world): Pujol. You will not be disappointed.
