The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City

The Ritz-Carlton, Mexico City is on the 56th floor of a tower on Avenida Paseo de la Reforma. It sits a fifteen-minute walk from the Ángel de la Independencia, providing a vantage of the capital’s central artery that ground-level hotels lack.

Other properties in the area integrate into the street life of the district, but this hotel separates itself from the noise of the city entirely. The height makes the difference; where neighbouring hotels rely on street-level access to reach their guests, this hotel trades proximity for detachment. It is for those who prefer to look down on the city rather than navigate its congestion, a perspective in an area with a dense, relentless pace.
