The Bar/Lounge at Distrito Capital

" The lounge-friendly pool area looks a bit like the set of a Hollywood movie (somewhat futuristic and filled with beautiful young things as it's popular with the locals)"

"With the exception of the large selection of mezcals at the bar, the sleek and spare hotel wouldn't be out of place in Berlin or London"

"A terrace pool is good for early morning lap swimming or afternoon and evening splashes, with occasional breaks for cocktails at the al fresco bar"

"Santa Fe is home to many multinational corporations, but it’s also a good base for leisure travelers who want to escape the city’s chaos at dusk; after all, the popular contemporary Mexican restaurant by Enrique Olvera and the happening lounge mean you need never leave the hotel to join the party"

"The open-air pool and the lounge, both found on the lobby level, are excellent places to unwind"

"On the main lobby level around 11 pm, the scene goes from Jetsons to Televisa, as throngs of soap opera actors and hipsters shimmy in to sip añejo mezcal with distinguished hotel guests (Madonna was one of the latest) along the 43-foot-long lounge pool"
