Polanco's premier boutique luxury hotel, built from two converted mansions on Presidente Masaryk, the boulevard that functions as Mexico City's answer to the Champs-Elysees. Las Alcobas achieves the residential feel that most luxury hotels aspire to and few deliver — the rooms feel like a well-designed apartment rather than a hotel room, with custom furniture, rainfall showers, and the particular quiet that comes from thick walls and serious soundproofing. The spa is one of the best in the city, the restaurant is genuinely good rather than hotel-good, and the Polanco location places you within walking distance of both the Anthropology Museum and the fine-dining corridor.

Request a room on the upper floors for the tree-lined Masaryk view. The spa treatment using Mexican ingredients — copal, cacao, agave — is worth the indulgence. The hotel restaurant is a legitimate dining destination, not an afterthought. The concierge can arrange Pujol and Quintonil reservations with more success than independent booking.
Year-round. Polanco is equally pleasant in dry and wet seasons — the tree canopy provides shade in sun and shelter in rain. The proximity to Chapultepec park makes morning walks effortless. The Masaryk shopping and dining corridor is busiest on weekends.
Polanco is CDMX's wealthiest neighborhood and prices reflect it — rooms start around 6,000-12,000 MXN per night. The location on Masaryk is central to Polanco's restaurant and shopping scene. Walking distance to Museo Nacional de Antropologia (15 minutes), Pujol (10 minutes), and Quintonil (8 minutes). The spa is small and popular — book treatments in advance. The hotel's residential scale means only 35 rooms, which keeps the atmosphere intimate. Metro Polanco is a 10-minute walk; Uber is the practical connection to Roma/Condesa.
