Globalist at the HR Mexico City. The standard suites were sold out for some of our nights. (The club lounge agent graciously turned his computer screen and showed me the inventory spreadsheet. That was a first!)
They offered to "upgrade" us to a standard suite and then charge 100 USD for a further upgrade to an executive suite. This seemed like a fair deal.
We walked into the executive suite and realized we didn't really need to spend 100*5=500 USD on having that much space. So we downgraded to a regular club room and spent the money on a meal at Comedor Jacinta instead (well, a small fraction of the money).
Some notes on the differences between an Executive Suite and a Club King:
-Evian in lieu of Bonafont bottled water
-4 oz bath amenities in lieu of 2 oz
-hardwood floors in lieu of carpet
-newer finishes
-separated tub and shower facilities
The evening club offerings were more substantial than any I have seen in the United States. You could definitely turn it into a modest dinner, and many people were. My first time having apple soda!
We only ate in Polanco and club lounge and still got a tremendous case of traveler's dysentery. So you really shouldn't be eating lettuce/tomatoes/ice cubes/etc. Oops!
One thing made Mexico City a little easier to manage this time versus five years ago: UBER.
Local recommendations:
-Comedor Jacinta (bears repeating)
-El Bajio (standards)
-El Corazon del Cafe (hot drinks/pastries)
