The 700-room InterContinental Presidente Mexico City is a luxury property in the swanky Polanco neighborhood, right next to leafy Chapultepec Park. Features here are extensive, with seven restaurants and bars -- including a popular steakhouse, traditional Mexican, and 24-hour French bistro -- each with their own distinct decor. Rooms have expected amenities like minibars and rainfall showers, and are tricked out in sleek, contemporary decor -- the best have views across Chapultepec Park. The spa is also a welcome addition in the busy city center, but there is no pool. The hotel mostly draws business travelers, and if it’s good enough for Barack Obama, it’s unlikely to disappoint. However, leisure travelers might also compare rates at the Four Seasons Mexico City, which has a dash of colonial charm.

The colonial-style Four Seasons Mexico City is located on iconic Paseo de la Reforma, one of the widest and busiest streets in the capital. Each of the 240 guest rooms and suites were renovated in 2015, and look fresh and contemporary. On-site features are some of the best in the city. There are two gourmet restaurants, an upscale bar with a mixologist, and a sweets shop. A courtyard swimming pool, modern fitness center, and spa ratchet up the luxury factor. Spotty Wi-Fi is free, but breakfast costs extra. For a five-pearl experience, the St. Regis is just down the road and includes free butler service in all of the rooms.

This two-pearl hotel is a solid choice for those on a budget. It's located just off Paseo de la Reforma, the city's main avenue, which is filled with monuments, shops, and restaurants. It's certainly past its prime, style-wise, but the property is well-maintained, attracting short-stay tourists and business travelers. The 45 rooms are basic, but clean, with flat-screen TVs, safes, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack air-conditioning and some pick up street noise. There's a cafe on the ground floor, serving Mexican cuisine in a casual setting, including an affordable cooked-to-order breakfast. For something with a few more extras, travelers should also consider rates at the Hotel Plaza Revolucion, where rooms are air-conditioned and more modern -- it's just a bit more expensive.

Location is key at the three-and-a-half-pearl Emporio Reforma. This traditional hotel fronts Mexico City’s most famous boulevard, Paseo de la Reforma, and both Roma and Zona Rosa are nearby. It’s also just a short drive from all of the city’s tourist attractions, including the historic center, which is a five- to 15-minute drive east. The 145 rooms are modern and simple, with amenities like air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, though TVs are dated and views can be a bit grim. Other features at this upper-middle-range property include a traditional trattoria-like restaurant that’s popular with locals, and a lobby bar often used by business travelers. It’s a convenient base, bur travelers looking for a classic stay with a tad more luxury might like to consider the Gran Hotel Ciudad de Mexico.

Plaza Florencia is a straightforward, mid-range hotel with a walkable location in Zona Rosa. The hotel was built in the late '70s but is well-maintained and includes high-quality wood furniture and beams -- especially in the lobby. Each of the 142 pleasant guest rooms is well-lit and has a flat-screen TV. There are two restaurants, one of which serves a breakfast buffet. Wi-Fi and parking are free, but expect to pay extra for breakfast and coffee in the rooms. Guests are either here on business or for the tourist-friendly neighborhood, and no one really lingers on the property. For a hotel in the same neighborhood with more pizazz, check rates at Room Mate Valentina.

The St. Regis is one of the best luxury hotels in Mexico City. Its location on bustling Avenida Reforma means immediate access to the entire city, but the hotel packs resort-style amenities into a skyscraper for guests who don't want to explore. Features include Remede Spa with an indoor swimming pool, a modern fitness center, and eight restaurant outlets. Each of the 189 spacious guest rooms and suites comes with 24-hour butler service for free assistance with unpacking, laundry services, and morning coffee delivery. The downfall? Extra fees for breakfast, parking, and Wi-Fi in the guest rooms. The Four Seasons down the street has nicer business services, but the rooms aren't as modern.

The three-pearl Hotel Plaza Revolucion is a quiet, clean, and straightforward hotel in a good location off the Paseo de la Reforma. It’s walkable to the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the Alameda, and the Monument to the Revolution is just five blocks away. The 85 rooms are clean and pleasantly modern, with wooden floors and amenities like air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi, but they lack coffee- and tea-making facilities and many face a brick wall. While it’s a solid base, there’s little to set this property apart from others in the area; the only features are secure parking, a small bar-slash-breakfast room, and a fitness room that’s limited to two cardio machines. It’s worth comparing rates at Room Mate Valentina, which has a cooler vibe and better Zona Rosa location.
