I loved the StR Mexico City, especially the outdoor bar patio.
I posted a review of the Hacienda -- hope it's helpful info. Happy to answer any follow-up questions too.

Or, Belmond Maroma.

Adding another comment about skipping Cancun and head to Rosewood Mayakoba (which I agree with)...Chable (opened in Yucatan Mexico as a luxury spa resort) is also planning to open a sister property in the area, called Chable' Maroma. The Chable Yucatan property is overseen by ex-Amanera GM, Rocco (10 months' tenure) and I'm guessing he will be on site to open this one as well. Could open as early as July (soft opening) but official launch is supposed to be the fall. Will report back if I head down in July to check it out.

If you go, I will expect photos of the thermostats...so I can pray for you. (Won’t help, as I’m an atheist. Though Pope Francis still might say it can help.)

No it won't. We spent two weeks there late June/early July last year, and loved it.

Sure, it's warm and humid, but that's what cenotes are for!

Anyone heading to London in June at still need a hotel? For those who like the Rosewood, (not everyone does) I have a really good offer to pass along. Book a Jr. Suite ~GBP795/night and upgrade to Deluxe Suite ~GBP1,385 at booking + Rosewood Elite benefits..Booked this for a client but he had to cancel and I feel it would be a shame to let the great upgrade value/offer go to waste.

Mods, not sure if this is outside the policy, would not post this but thought it would offer someone good value. Feel free to delete this if it's breaking the rules, however. Thanks so much!

How did you choose these hotels ?
Recharging is always good especially in boutique and / or luxury hotels

Trying to see if we can fit in AmanCGV & SS in September / October
Also Vienna Resident ‘ s Lupaia in Tuscany
Haven ‘ t figured if we make Milan as well as Florence , besides other potential stops

Possibly too many Amans planned for this year ..

Well, its a mixture of location, price, agent's recommendation and of course, also feedback and recommendation from members in this forum. ^

Talking about London hotel rates, I thought June is a peak season but seems many are starting to offer packages to entice guests.
