This is Mexico City’s grande dame hotel, and like you’d expect from the Four Seasons, it’s comfortingly reliable. Housed in a Spanish Colonial–style building, the hotel offers comfortable rooms that look onto to a tranquil interior courtyard. Greenery, a fountain, and birds that chirp at all times of the day coexist indoors. You’ll almost forget you’re in the middle of the Paseo de la Reforma, one of the city’s busiest streets, and steps away from its sprawling Chapultepec Park. This is the place for travelers who are fed up with boutique hotels and want a business center and a 24-hour concierge. —Elena Clavarino
