Campos Polanco

The vast megalopolis that is Mexico City is no stranger to luxe little enclaves, but this one, even by local standards, is remarkable. An unusual Art Deco building in one of the capital’s poshest districts is now home to Campos Polanco, a 12-suite luxury boutique hotel that aims for nothing less than an authentic residential experience — albeit an extremely high-end one. Its setting is unique, facing the green expanse of the Garden of the Republic of Lebanon. And its design is striking, the result of an all-star team of local creative talent.

Accommodations range from one-bedroom units like the Polanco Suites or the Park Studios all the way up to the lavish Campos Residence, complete with its own chef’s kitchen and dining room. Each floor also has its own social space with another private kitchen, suitable for cooking, dining, or hosting just about any sort of gathering. And for a long or particularly luxe stay, you can combine two suites and one social space into a two-bedroom Ariosto Residence. There’s also a rooftop lounge, suitable for up to a hundred guests, with a panoramic view of this surprisingly verdant corner of the capital.
