How does staying at Mr. W Reforma compare to a traditional hotel on Paseo de la Reforma?
Paseo de la Reforma is Mexico City’s grandest boulevard, lined with massive corporate hotels. Mr. W Reforma offers a distinctly different approach for travelers who prefer the autonomy of a design-forward apartment stay right in the Cuauhtémoc neighborhood. You get the polish and full guest support of a hospitality brand, combined with the space to actually live in the city. It acts as an incredibly efficient base to reach both the historic center and the restaurants of Juárez and Roma Norte on foot.
What locals actually do
Frequent visitors to Mexico City often choose the Reforma corridor for its sheer connectivity. When you base yourself at Mr. W Reforma, you are positioned perfectly to navigate the city like a local. In the mornings, skip the standard hotel buffet and walk a few blocks into the Juárez neighborhood for pan dulce and excellent coffee at Panadería Rosetta on Havre, or grab a quiet breakfast at Niddo. In the evening, having your own apartment means you can bring back a bottle of minimal-intervention wine from Vinos Chidos to enjoy before walking to dinner at Taquería Orinoco in the Zona Rosa.
Use your central location at Mr. W Reforma to walk down to Café Nin in Juárez for an early morning guava roll, then return to your apartment to map out your day from a well-designed living room.
