Should I stay at Mr. W Reforma instead of a traditional hotel on Paseo de la Reforma?
Staying on the city's most prominent avenue usually means choosing a massive corporate tower, but Mr. W Reforma offers a distinctly residential alternative in Cuauhtémoc. These design-forward apartments give you the space and independence of your own flat, backed by full guest support. It is designed for travelers who want to skip the crowded hotel lobbies while maintaining a highly central base. You can step right out onto Paseo de la Reforma and easily walk to the adjacent Juárez and Roma neighborhoods.
What locals actually do
Mexico City regulars often prefer the autonomy of an apartment over a standard hotel room, especially for stays extending beyond a long weekend. Mr. W Reforma sits right on the seam of the financial district and the city's best dining neighborhoods. Start your morning exactly how a local resident would: walking a few blocks into Juárez for a quiet coffee and a pastry at Café Nin. Because you have your own kitchen and living space, you can comfortably bring back fresh bread from nearby Panadería Rosetta to enjoy on your own schedule before heading into the historic center or the business district.
Use your apartment as a quiet morning base. Grab an espresso, open the windows to catch the city waking up, and then cross Reforma to spend the morning wandering through the leafy streets of the adjacent Juárez neighborhood.
