Bottom Line

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.

Scene

All wood everything

Plaza Florencia was originally built in the late '70s and still retains a bit of the era through an aged facade, heavy wood furniture, industrial tile floors, and wrought-iron gates and chandeliers in the lobby. The look is slightly Spanish, but oddities like an old leather sofa, Chinese lucky cat statue, and sunflower painted vase just look out of place. Pontevecchio restaurant has exposed brick walls and a stained glass mural of an Italian landscape. Decorative plates hang on brick columns for a little added panache to an otherwise dark room with a low ceiling. The majority of guests here are Latin American business travelers and tourists.

Location

In the Zona Rosa district

Location is key at Plaza Florencia and is the reason many guests book here. The hotel is in the heart of Zona Rosa, a bohemian and gay-friendly neighborhood filled with shops, art galleries, night clubs, and restaurants. It's only a few minutes walk to El Angel de la Independencia, the iconic monument of Mexico City built built on bustling Paseo de la Reforma, which is known for its plethora of designer shops and high-end hotels and restaurants. The neighborhood is generally safe and patrolled by police officers. One perk at Plaza Florencia is free parking, a rarity in Mexico City.

Rooms

White walls, laminate wood floors, and flat-screen TVs

There are 142 guest rooms and suites at Plaza Florencia and each is just about the same. Floors are laid with laminate wood and walls are painted white. Two double beds or a king bed are topped with white linens and beige bed runners. All of the furniture, from the bed bases to the desks, are made of light wood. Art includes a wood-framed mirror and paintings of birds in flight. There's ample light from large windows, but rooms that face the street pick up noise. 

Coffeemakers are provided, though water and coffee cost extra -- which is a bit stingy. An upgrade to a suite buys a mini-fridge and a narrow sitting area set with a blocky green couch. Clean bathrooms include a large vanity and a shower/tub combo. Hotel branded toiletries are set in a wicker basket on the vanity. Small hairdryers are mounted to the walls.

Features

Two restaurants, a small gym, and free Wi-Fi 

Surprisingly, Plaza Florencia has two restaurants. Restaurant Pontevecchio serves Mediterranean-inspired dishes and a wine list for dinner. Boboli Restaurant is where the daily breakfast buffet is served for a fee. The food is good, but there are better restaurants to be found in the vicinity and most guests dine here out of convenience. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel and there are desktop computers for guests to borrow. Meeting rooms can seat up to 150 people. 

In the basement, there's a small and dated gym with a few pieces of cardio equipment, free weights, and a strength-training machine. The room is carpeted and decorated with paintings of mountains. Front desk staff is available to provide directions, laundry services, and printing services.
