Known only by a letter, the W Mexico City sits in downtown's trendy Polanco neighborhood, across the street from the National Auditorium and amid upscale boutiques, restaurants and the business district. Major museums and galleries are within five miles of the hotel. Known for modern design and savvy style that draws sophisticated leisure and business guests, the W Mexico City features Solea, the signature restaurant which specializes in contemporary coastal seafood with Mexican and Asian influences. To unwind, guests can mingle in the hotel's Living Room and Red Lounge, where vibrant colors, an urban flair, deep couches, games and cocktails entertain guests until the wee hours of the morning. The W also features an outdoor terrace lounge, fitness center and the full-service aWay Spa. More than 7,700 square feet of conference facilities includes a Great Room for 400 guests and audiovisual equipment, flat-screen televisions and personal computers with wireless technology.

Unlike any other guestroom corridors, the 25-story W's corridors feature projection walls with flickering images from around the world, and 237 ultra-modern guestrooms with cherrywood walls contrasting with bright white signature designer beds, down duvets, pillow-top mattresses and piles of pillows. Most guestrooms with king beds have walk-in shower rooms and hanging hammocks. All guestrooms provide dual-line cordless phones, oversized desks, CD and DVD players, minibars, twice daily housekeeping, 29-inch televisions and wireless Internet access. Guest bathrooms feature designer bath products, bathrobes and slippers. Guests needing additional space can reserve the W's lofts and "WOW suites."

The W Mexico City provides guests with unique vacation experiences and memories. At this W, visitors can meditate by one of the indoor koi ponds, dine in a signature restaurant, and relish the blend of sleek design and seductive style.
