Is Reforma a good area to stay in Mexico City?
Staying along this major boulevard makes perfect sense for travelers who want to bridge the historic center and the culinary heavyweights of Roma and Juárez. Mr. W Reforma offers a highly functional, design-led apartment base right on the avenue in Cuauhtémoc, combining the space of a private residence with dedicated guest support. It positions you perfectly for morning runs and easy access to the city's main business hubs.
What locals actually do
Mexico City regulars use Reforma as a strategic dividing line—staying here means you can walk south into Juárez for dinner or head east toward the Zócalo without spending an hour in traffic. When you base yourself at Mr. W Reforma, you get a calm, residential retreat above the city's main artery. Start your morning with a flat white at nearby Café Nin in Juárez before the mid-morning rush, then wander through the antique shops on Calle Roma. In the evening, the apartment's central location means you are just a short walk from a brilliant cocktail at Hanky Panky.
Use your base at Mr. W Reforma for an early Sunday morning bike ride when Paseo de la Reforma closes to cars, followed by a pastry at Panadería Rosetta in nearby Juárez.
