"This hotel couldn't have a better location—on the Zócalo and close to a gaggle of museums, restaurants, and historic buildings."

"Northernmost of the three upper-echelon hotels facing the Zócalo, the Holiday Inn seems the least pretentious, eschewing colonial trimmings for contemporary comfort."

Ask for a top-floor room with a view.

Request a remodeled room (the firm mattresses and new dark wood furnishings are well worth the additional M$60).
DK Eyewitness
"This small hotel with 116 rooms has a lovely lobby with gleaming marble floors, dark woodwork, and arched windows."
Michelin Guide
"The Catedral is right in the heart of the city a block from the Zocalo-so noise can creep in-but the rooms are spacious, comfortable and attractively decorated."
